Canadian Tire, a leading retailer in Canada, is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Platform Engineer to join our dynamic team in Calgary, Alberta. This pivotal technical role is essential for driving the evolution and reliability of our critical store and point-of-sale (POS) platforms. The successful candidate will be instrumental in designing and implementing robust, scalable software solutions that directly enhance the customer experience and operational efficiency across our extensive network of retail locations. This opportunity offers a chance to make a significant impact on core business functions, ensuring our in-store systems are at the forefront of retail technology, providing essential support for daily operations.
As a Platform Engineer, you will provide strong technical leadership, guiding the design, development, and evolution of full-stack software solutions. Your responsibilities will include serving as a technical leader for a team of developers, providing hands-on guidance, mentorship, and thorough code reviews across all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). You will drive strong engineering practices, including clean architecture, comprehensive test automation, secure coding, and maintainable design, ensuring high-quality software delivery. This role requires a deep understanding of store platform engineering, where you will design and build backend services, APIs, and integration layers that provide reliable transaction processing and in-store workflows. You will also contribute to solutions supporting in-store mobile applications and store-resident systems, ensuring they are designed for the unique challenges of store environments, including high availability and intermittent connectivity. Collaboration with Product Owners and Project Managers is key to translating business requirements into clear technical designs and supporting predictable, high-quality delivery aligned with both short-term priorities and long-term platform direction.
To excel in this role, candidates must bring strong, hands-on experience as a full-stack software engineer and a proven technical leader. A deep understanding of object-oriented design, application architecture, and modern engineering practices is crucial. You should have demonstrated experience leading teams through the full SDLC, delivering high-quality, production-ready software, including integration-heavy, distributed, and business-critical systems. Strong understanding of performance optimization, resiliency patterns, and robust error handling is expected. While specific language expertise is a plus (such as Java with Spring Boot or C++, and frontend frameworks like Angular or Flutter), the ability to learn and adapt quickly to new languages and frameworks is more important. Familiarity with CI/CD practices and DevOps tooling, along with experience developing applications in containerized or cloud-native environments like Docker and Kubernetes, will provide strong support for your success. Excellent communication skills are also vital for explaining complex technical concepts to diverse audiences and influencing outcomes through technical credibility.
Joining Canadian Tire means becoming part of a company committed to innovation and purpose. We offer a competitive salary range, comprehensive benefits, performance incentives, and career growth opportunities. Our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and belonging ensures a welcoming environment for all. This is an exciting time to contribute your technical expertise and experience to a company that helps make life in Canada better, fostering a culture of strong collaboration and continuous improvement across all our platforms.
