Software Developer jobs in Maple Ridge, BC

Who We Are

We are a custom software consultancy that builds and maintains production systems for real businesses. Our delivery model is structured, PM-led, and standards-driven. We prioritize predictable execution, clear ownership, and low rework over experimentation or heroics.

This role is for developers who want to focus on delivering reliable software in established systems with clear expectations and boundaries.

The Role

You will work as an individual contributor on active production codebases. Tasks are defined, sequenced, and prioritized by a Product Manager. Your responsibility is to implement assigned work accurately, on time, and in accordance with established technical standards.

This role is execution-focused. You will not be responsible for scoping, prioritization, or client communication.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Implement features, fixes, and improvements based on defined requirements
• Deliver assigned work items on schedule with minimal rework
• Write clean, readable, and maintainable code that follows team standards
• Estimate task-level work and communicate changes early when assumptions shift
• Flag unclear requirements, risks, or edge cases before implementation begins
• Participate in code reviews and incorporate feedback promptly
• Collaborate with other developers to maintain consistency across projects

How We Expect You to Work

• Make practical tradeoffs to deliver work within defined scope and timelines
• Prefer simple, maintainable solutions over clever or over-engineered ones
• Communicate progress, blockers, and risks clearly and early
• Follow established workflows, standards, and review processes
• Take ownership of the quality and completeness of your assigned work

What Success Looks Like

• Tasks are completed on time and meet acceptance criteria
• Code requires minimal revision during review
• Estimates are realistic and improve over time
• Issues and risks are raised early, not discovered at the deadline
• You can be trusted to execute independently once onboarded

Required Experience

• 3–5 years of professional software development experience
• Experience working in existing production codebases you did not design
• Strong working knowledge of PHP and JavaScript
• Experience with Laravel, Vue.js, or similar modern frameworks
• Experience working with relational databases (MySQL or equivalent)
• Comfortable with Git-based workflows and code reviews
• Experience implementing defined requirements rather than open-ended specs

This Role Is NOT Responsible For

• Product scoping or pricing
• Client communication
• Work prioritization or sequencing
• Defining system-wide architecture
• Managing other developers

This Role Is NOT For You If

• You want ownership over product direction or architecture
• You prefer greenfield-only work
• You need heavy mentorship or constant guidance
• You dislike working within defined standards and processes
• You expect to negotiate scope or priority

Why Join Us

• You’ll join a small but growing consultancy where individual contributions matter
• You’ll work with a tight-knit team that values professionalism, trust, and follow-through
• You’ll operate in a structured, PM-led delivery environment with clear priorities
• You’ll spend your time building software, not managing clients or chasing scope
• Expectations, standards, and ownership boundaries are clearly defined
• You’ll be trusted to execute independently and measured on outcomes

Application Process

A short video introduction (2–3 minutes) is required. Please cover:

• Your current role and the types of systems you’ve worked on
• A project where you implemented features in an existing codebase
• How you prefer tasks to be defined and reviewed

Clear, direct communication matters more than polish.
