Junior Software Developer (Android & TypeScript)
Reports To: Director of Engineering
Location: Montreal, QC (Hybrid: work remotely or from the office, your choice!)
About us
Broadsign is a growing software company with a mission to make buying, selling, and delivering out-of-home media easier than ever. Our software is operated by some of the most successful out-of-home businesses and powers impactful, compelling campaigns seen across the world.
Come join us as a Cross-Platform Software Developer (Android & TypeScript) in Montreal.
About the role
As a Software Developer in Android and TypeScript applications, you will play a key role in building scalable applications that power our global OOH network. You will bridge the gap between complex business requirements and high-performance technical solutions, ensuring our codebase remains maintainable and robust as we continue to innovate.
What to expect
- Feature Development & Enhancement: In this role, you will develop and maintain a Media Player Application (Android and TypeScript). This is not your typical application, as it is not one for human users but is designed to run with minimal human interaction and is built for robustness and high availability.
- You will work on a fairly new project with an evolving infrastructure stack using Kotlin, TypeScript, and WebView/Chromium. You will be part of our DevOps culture, focusing on writing clean, reusable, and secure code that supports a diverse range of devices. Furthermore, we dedicate quarterly time to Innovation Days, allowing you to explore and develop new ideas.
- Collaboration & Agile Practices: You will join an Agile team including a Product Manager, a QA analyst, and a group of driven developers. Success is built on collaboration, which is why you will actively participate in code reviews, offering constructive feedback to uphold high standards of code quality. You will contribute to technical design discussions and help shape the future architecture of our applications.
- Quality & Performance Optimization: Quality is at the core of what we do. You will therefore identify, debug, and fix defects reported internally or by customers and implement unit and integration tests using JUnit and Jest to ensure complete feature coverage. Because our software runs in diverse environments, you will optimize applications for best performance and stability on low-spec hardware.
What you need to perform in this job
- Experience: 1-3 years of professional software development experience.
- Technical Proficiency: Knowledge of Android development or TypeScript
- Tools: Experience with Git version control and CI/CD practices.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.
What we bring to the table
- Flexible work environment—work from home or the office
- Comprehensive Benefits: Complete company insurance plan (health, dental, vision, travel) effective from day one (100% employer-paid).
- Health Spending: $500 annual Health Care Savings Account (HCSA) for additional health-related expenses.
- Virtual Healthcare: Unlimited access to the Telus Health virtual platform.
- Wellness: $500 annual Wellness fund for mental/physical health and office-related expenses.
- Retirement Savings: Group RRSP with 50% employer matching up to 4% of your salary.
- Paid Time Off: Minimum 3 weeks vacation, 5 floater days, 5 sick/personal days, and 2 volunteer days.
- Family Support: Parental leave salary supplement (including up to 23 weeks top-up for maternity leave).
- Financial Perks: Transportation reimbursement for travel to a Broadsign office.
- Growth: Training & development opportunities with a yearly budget to support professional growth, 3 paid training days/year
