Job Description
It all started on a bus. An election campaign bus.
Through his experience providing mobile connectivity for election campaigns, Dejero founder Bogdan Frusina witnessed first-hand the challenges that journalists faced reporting live from the field. He knew there was a better way.
Building a team with a passion for innovation and a drive to persevere, he set about developing and commercializing a portable and wireless live video broadcast solution. In November 2009, that vision came to life. Dejero enabled the world’s first live transmission of the torch relay across Canada for the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Since then, we’ve evolved into a world-leading wireless telecommunications aggregator, providing resilient, uninterrupted internet connectivity vital for critical communications. Broadcasters, production companies, first responders, defense departments, and government agencies put their trust in Dejero.
Here’s how you help us continue our story...
We are looking for a Senior Software Architect who wants to make an impact with the software they design. You will be a major contributor to the success of the company, not just another programmer. This role has the option to be based from our Waterloo, Ontario office or a remote location in Canada.
As a key member of our development team, you will:
- Architect and develop new Dejero products, features, and solutions
- Design and develop software at the core of Dejero’s patented multiple IP connection bonding technology
- Deliver best-in-class solutions to difficult problems, enabling the company to deliver new technologies and/or enter new markets
- Be an organization-wide technical leader and mentor, modeling creativity, aptitude, and innovation. Champion and help define development processes and standards.
- Share industry knowledge through working groups, standards committees, regulatory bodies, and/or open-source projects
- Contribute to longer-term Dejero technology roadmaps
- Guide teams to solve challenging technical problems with increasing levels of uncertainty, where the problem space may not be well-defined
- Collaborate with various teams (SQA, Hardware, Web, Product, Support) on new products and technology for industries, such as broadcasting, public safety, defense, transportation, and government agencies
Here’s why you should join the Dejero team:
- If you aren’t growing, we aren’t growing. You will have the opportunity to develop your own career path with support from your manager and the People + Culture team.
- If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that work-life balance is extremely important. As we find our new normal, our employees are able to choose their preferred work environment; home, office or hybrid.
- We are home to an award-winning culture, products, and teams. Last year, Great Place to Work ranked us 6th Best Place to Work in Canada! We have also won two Emmys for our Smart Blending Technology.
- Giving back is a key pillar of our culture. Last year, Dejero and its employees contributed thousands of dollars to 12 local and international charities. In addition, through Dejero’s Day of Doing Great Things and employees’ annual paid volunteer day, we encourage our team to go out into the community and volunteer for local organizations.
- You have a say in the projects you get to work on based on your passions and interests. Our team attacks technical challenges together and all code is peer-reviewed to leverage the strengths that each team member brings to the table.
