ShareGate is the leading Microsoft 365 migration and governance platform, trusted by over 100,000 IT pros for its unmatched simplicity.
It offers the simplest, most reliable, and most affordable way to move business data to Microsoft 365.
Whether migrating from Google Workspace, file shares, Exchange Online, SharePoint On-Premises, or tenant-to-tenant, ShareGate gets the job done, without surprises. From cloud transformation to M&A integration, it keeps things just damn simple.
ShareGate also helps organizations stay in control once their data is migrated. Its powerful governance features let users assess environments, uncover issues, and apply fixes on the spot, so everything stays clean, secure, and optimized. It lays the groundwork for safe Microsoft Copilot deployment within organizations.
ShareGate is developed by Workleap Technologies, a Montréal‑based software company.
You'll play a founding role on the Web Experience team, whose mission is to build a brand-new web application for ShareGate Migrate, almost from scratch. The goal is to make the Microsoft 365 migration experience even more accessible and intuitive, directly in the browser. This role exists now because we're laying the technical foundations and user experience of a product that will directly impact thousands of IT professionals around the world — and we're looking for someone comfortable across both front-end and backend, with a natural strength on the front.
Your impact:
- Set the experience quality bar for the new web app from the very first milestones by shipping rich, performant, and accessible interfaces;
- Accelerate the delivery of every feature by turning the Product Designer's mockups into reusable, well-structured, and consistent components;
- Lay solid, lasting front-end foundations from day one by contributing to architecture decisions that hold up at scale;
- Ensure frictionless authentication and migration scenarios in production by reliably integrating Microsoft APIs (Microsoft Graph, Azure AD / Entra ID, MSAL) on the client side;
- Raise the team's collective technical level through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and a front-end testing culture that lets everyone ship with confidence;
- Leverage AI coding tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot) to deliver a level of interface quality and output that goes beyond what a solo dev could achieve.
a) The team is starting a near-greenfield project: building the ShareGate Migrate web application almost from scratch, defining the technical foundations, architecture, and user experience. Over the coming months, you'll bring new web features that complement the migration tool into a fully web-based experience alongside the existing desktop application, and establish reusable technical patterns that accelerate every new feature over time.
b) You'll join the Web Experience team, a cross-functional squad made up of developers, a Product Manager, and a Product Designer, within the ShareGate Migrate department — a collaborative network of teams with access to staff developers for technical guidance and cross-team alignment. The culture leans hard into autonomy and collective decision-making from the very beginning: you won't be handed pre-built solutions, you'll be expected to form hypotheses, experiment quickly, and bring your findings back to the team. AI-assisted development is a core part of how the team works, not an afterthought.
c) Stack: TypeScript, React, and C# / .NET, with Microsoft APIs (Microsoft Graph, Azure AD / Entra ID, MSAL) and AI coding tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot) at the center of the day-to-day.
What you'll bring- 5+ years of experience delivering commercial software products with strong customer adoption;
- Proven experience building web applications with TypeScript and React, with a strong eye for interface quality, accessibility, and user experience;
- Comfort with backend development in C# / .NET (no need to be an expert, but able to contribute and learn in context);
- Hands-on experience with relational or non-relational databases;
- Hands-on experience using AI coding tools (e.g. Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar) as part of your day-to-day development workflow;
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, with the ability to tackle ambiguous and technically complex challenges;
- Clear, proactive communicator who takes ownership, operates with transparency, and keeps teammates informed (bonus: experience with Microsoft APIs — Microsoft Graph, Azure AD / Entra ID, MSAL).

What the job comes with- Base salary: $100,000 to $130,000. This range reflects our Canada-wide compensation scale. Final offers may be adjusted based on the candidate's region to align with local market conditions.
- Annual bonus program.
- LTIP program, share in Workleap's long-term growth.
- RRSP + Family health insurance + telemedicine + annual wellness budget.
- Flexible vacation policy.
- Remote work, with access to our Montreal office.
- In-person gathering twice a year.
- Claude access, for everyone.
We build software that sits at the center of how people experience work, every day, at every level.
We move fast. Priorities shift, decisions get made with the information we have, and we iterate. If you thrive on intensity and ambiguity doesn't slow you down, you'll feel right at home.
We're builders. We do what it takes to move forward. AI is part of our toolkit. We use it to go faster and decide smarter, not to replace judgment.
If you want real impact and a place where your decisions matter, this is it.
How we hireTransparency is how we hire — for you as much as for us.
Here's how it works: a first call with a recruiter, then a virtual interview with the hiring manager. You'll then complete a take-home case study, followed by a meet with future colleagues to discuss it together. Depending on the role, the process may vary slightly — your recruiter will walk you through it on your first call.
We use AI to support certain steps of the process, but every hiring decision remains human.
We can't wait to meet you.
