About Landjourney

Landjourney is a Canadian fintech building modern, purpose-built software for agricultural lending. Our cloud-native, SOC 2 Type 2 certified platform helps ag lenders dramatically improve loan production efficiency, while giving farmers the seamless, transparent experience they deserve. We serve lenders, retailers, and investors across North America with AI-powered origination, white-labeled servicing portals, automated document collection, and a capital marketplace.

We are a small, high-trust team. Engineering decisions land in production fast, ownership is broad, and the work matters: ag lenders make consequential decisions on the systems we build.

The team you'd join

You'd be one of a small group of senior engineers responsible for our workflow platform, the service that powers loan-origination requests, templates, tasks, document collection, and the retailer/parent-organization hierarchy that ag lenders use day-to-day. The codebase is opinionated in a good way: ports-and-adapters architecture, an explicit repository + Unit-of-Work pattern, organization-scoped multi-tenancy, soft-delete and user-tracking mixins, and Pydantic v2 throughout. You'll be expected to keep that discipline as we grow.

We use AI tooling (Claude, Copilot, Cursor) as a core part of how we work, not a side experiment. Senior engineers here are expected to push the team's AI-assisted practices forward.

Position Summary

We're hiring a seasoned Senior Full-Stack Developer to take end-to-end ownership of meaningful parts of our workflow platform. You'll design and build Python/FastAPI services, model and migrate Cockroach/PostgreSQL data, build Angular features, and operate the AWS infrastructure they run on (AWS App Runner for the API, Lambda for event consumers and scheduled jobs, SQS FIFO for async work, DynamoDB and KMS for state and secrets). You'll work closely with product, design, and domain experts, and translate business requirements into clean, well-architected software in a regulated fintech environment.

The stack you'll work in

Backend

Python 3 with FastAPI, Pydantic v2, and async patterns
CockroachDB (PostgreSQL-wire compatible) accessed via SQLAlchemy with Alembic for migrations
Redis for caching and async coordination
SQS FIFO queues for cross-service eventing and DynamoDB for fast key-value lookups
Sentry for error tracking and continuous profiling; AWS X-Ray for distributed tracing
OAuth integrations with Google and Microsoft; JWT auth via pyjwt; Novu for notifications
Per-organization databases for multi-tenancy

Front-End

Angular as the primary front-end framework (used across the platform); some React elsewhere in the product surface
Local dev runs against HTTPS via mkcert on local.landjourney.ai

Infrastructure & DevOps

AWS App Runner (containerized via ECR) for the FastAPI service; AWS Lambda for event-driven consumers and scheduled jobs
AWS API Gateway v2, VPC + private subnets, KMS for settings/secret encryption, Secrets Manager / SSM for credentials
Serverless Framework v3 as the infrastructure-as-code layer over CloudFormation
Bitbucket Pipelines for CI/CD, with environment-gated promotions (integration → test → prod); Docker images built and pushed to ECR
SOC 2 Type 2 compliance posture, security controls are a first-class part of the engineering work, not an afterthought

Tooling & workflow

uv for dependency management; poethepoet task runner; Ruff for linting + formatting; pytest
Pre-commit hooks enforce lint on push; Sentry-instrumented locally and in production
AI coding tools (Claude, Copilot, Cursor) integrated into daily flow, including agent-style workflows for PR description and branch review

What you'll do

Backend

Design and build FastAPI services with clean, well-documented REST APIs and OpenAPI specs
Model data with Pydantic v2 and SQLAlchemy against CockroachDB; author and ship Alembic migrations safely against multi-tenant per-org databases
Build async, event-driven flows on SQS FIFO (consumers, producers, idempotency, DLQ handling)
Maintain the discipline of the ports-and-adapters layout, abstract ports in app/ports/, concrete adapters in app/adapters/, services depending on ABCs

Front-End

Build responsive, accessible features in Angular (primary), collaborating closely with design
Contribute to React surfaces as needed; keep cross-browser behaviour and performance solid

Infrastructure & operations

Own AWS infrastructure changes via the Serverless Framework definitions, Lambda functions, App Runner config, IAM, KMS, SQS, VPC, alarms
Operate what you ship: triage Sentry alerts, dig into X-Ray traces, respond to CloudWatch alarms
Keep CI/CD on Bitbucket Pipelines healthy; evolve the deployment workflow as needed

Quality, security & compliance

Write meaningful tests (unit + integration); raise the bar on coverage and reliability
Champion security best practices, secure handling of borrower/PII data, KMS-encrypted secrets, IAM least privilege, and contribute to SOC 2 Type 2 evidence and control work

Collaboration & leadership

Conduct thorough code reviews and contribute to architecture decisions and roadmap planning
Translate business and regulatory requirements into clean technical solutions, and explain trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders
Champion AI-assisted development workflows across the team, share patterns, prompts, and tooling improvements openly
Mentor and unblock other engineers; help raise the team's overall delivery and quality bar

Your first 6 months

Month 1: Onboard locally (Cockroach, mkcert, the commons shared library, the workflow API end-to-end). Pair on a small feature in an existing service area. Ship your first PR through Bitbucket Pipelines
Months 2–3: Own a feature end-to-end, model, migration, API, Angular surface, deploy, monitor. Begin participating in architecture and roadmap discussions
Months 4–6: Take ownership of a domain area of the workflow platform (e.g., templates, requests, or event consumers). Drive a measurable improvement in reliability, latency, or developer velocity. Establish yourself as a go-to reviewer
