🧠 About zipBoard
zipBoard is a lean, profitable SaaS company used by engineering, AEC, and content teams to streamline document and content reviews across stakeholders — from internal teams to external collaborators. We’ve helped global firms save time, improve quality, and reduce the chaos of email-based feedback loops.
We’re now rebuilding key parts of our platform with AI-first workflows, better automation, and a cleaner dev foundation. You’ll help lead that charge.
🚀 About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to take ownership of our core platform, work closely with the founder, and bring structure, clarity, and momentum to the product.
You'll be inheriting and improving a Meteor-based stack. Your job isn't just to build features — it’s to lead modernization, automate intelligently, and help us scale with confidence.
🛠️ Responsibilities
- Lead backend and frontend development across Meteor, Node.js, and MongoDB
- Translate high-level product priorities into sprint-ready dev plans
- Use AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT) to accelerate development and test coverage
- Mentor junior devs and review code when needed
- Improve architecture, performance, and documentation
- Collaborate with the founder and EA asynchronously across time zones
✅ Requirements
- 7+ years experience as a full stack developer, ideally in fast-paced or startup environments
- Deep proficiency in JavaScript (Node, MongoDB, REST APIs)
- Experience working with or refactoring legacy codebases (Meteor a major plus, or willingness to learn fast)
- Hands-on experience with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or AI tools in your dev workflow
- Excellent async communication and the ability to work independently
- Familiarity with writing or reviewing automated tests (Cypress, Jest, or similar)
🌟 Bonus Points
- Experience leading or mentoring small technical teams
- Exposure to PDF rendering, annotation tools, or B2B SaaS platforms
- Familiarity with Canadian SR&ED compliance and R&D documentation
- Interest in performance optimization or DevOps automation
💼 What You’ll Get
- Remote-first flexibility (async, timezone-tolerant)
- Clear scope and autonomy (not endless pivots)
- Founder-level visibility and impact
- SR&ED-aligned work that contributes to R&D innovation
- A team that values calm productivity over hustle
