What We’re Looking For
Breezeway is hiring a Senior Software Application Developer to join one of our customer-facing product teams. You’ll work across the full stack to build and ship features that directly impact how thousands of short-term rental managers and hospitality operators run their businesses and interact with guests, employees, and vendors.
This role is for an engineer with a product-centric mindset, clear communication, and the autonomy to engage with the problem, not the ticket. You’ll be expected to collaborate early with the team to ensure alignment and context remain high.
Who We Are
Breezeway’s property operations platform helps short-term rental managers and hospitality operators coordinate, communicate, and verify work across their properties. Powering over 55M property care tasks, we help thousands of operators increase efficiency, eliminate manual work, and deliver a better experience at every property.
What You'll Do
- Build and ship full-stack product features across a Python/Flask backend and React frontend.
- Design and evolve REST and GraphQL APIs, working closely with product and other engineering teams to define clean, durable interfaces.
- Work with SQLAlchemy ORM and relational data models to build reliable, performant backend services.
- Contribute to our growing LLM-powered feature set - building integrations with AI models, designing prompts and pipelines, and thinking carefully about quality and reliability in AI-assisted workflows.
- Communicate trade-offs and provide feedback on code and implementation decisions to peers as part of everyday development
- Collaborate with design, product, and other engineers to deliver high-quality work end-to-end.
Who You Are
- You care about the outcome, not just the implementation. You think about users and ask why before you ask how.
- You take responsibility for your work from design through deployment and don’t wait for someone to hand you the next step.
- You’re a strong communicator who can engage clearly with product and design, push back constructively, and keep work moving through ambiguity.
- You’re comfortable working across the stack while building expertise in a product domain
- You think about how you work, not just what you’re working on
- You’re capable of engaging with ambiguity enough to move forward or engage productively with the right people to find a solution
- You understand the impact of writing maintainable, well-tested code and find value in peer review
What You’ll Bring
- 7+ years of experience of full-stack development
- Significant React frontend experience owning a feature end-to-end
- Strong Python skills, with experience building REST and GraphQL APIs using Flask or similar
- Proficiency with SQLAlchemy or other ORMs and working with relational data models
- Experience with Celery or similar, async task queues, and event-driven architectures
- Experience working at a SaaS company
- Experience with AI-assisted coding and integrating AI APIs
- React Native or mobile experience (nice to have)
Compensation
- Salary: $120,000–$155,000 CAD, based on experience
