Company: Lightspeed

Company site: lightspeedhq.com

Position(s): Backend Developer, Frontend Developer, Information Security Specialist, Salesforce Developer, Technical Writer

Location: Montreal, Ghent, Amsterdam, Toronto

Description:

Lightspeed is a point of sale SaaS provider. We have products for retail, restaurant, eCommerce, payments, loyalty and recently golf. We use a fair amount of different tech depending on the team you’re on. We have technical debt, but we actively work to combat it. We have developer openings in Montreal, Amsterdam, and Ghent at the moment, but we’re often open to the right candidate even if there isn’t a posting that exactly fits you. We’ve got plenty of challenges and ambitious goals. Our dev managers are former developers, and we do our best to make sure the techincal aspects of the product are prioritized as well as the business aspects.

Some of our stack: MySQL, PHP, Java, Go, Python (primarily for test automation), React, Node, GraphQL, REST.

We’re on AWS and GCP (migrating to GCP). We use lots of fancy cloud technology: k8s, terraform, helm, docker, etc.

Check out our current openings here: lightspeedhq.com/careers/overview/... and feel free to apply online, or reach out to me directly.

This is my second time working at LS, I left and then came back, and it’s overall a pretty great place to work.

Contact: Feel free to PM me if you have questions

I am very interested in this. Can I PM you?
And also are you open to a remote staff as I am currently leaving in Africa

Hey Gabriel, followed to PM you. I am yet junior, but have done a good deal of self-studies.
Is the hiring politics intern-friendly?

Hi Timofei, we do hire interns, yes. Currently the only openings we have for interns are in Ghent though! I see that you're in Toronto, I'll ask and see if there are any plans for hiring an intern there.
