Full-Stack Engineer – Hybrid in Toronto

We are building a vertical SaaS platform that helps tattoo artists and studios manage their day-to-day business operations through a single platform. The product streamlines appointment bookings, scheduling, deposits, payments, client communication, flash drops, and administrative workflows, replacing fragmented processes traditionally managed through social media messages, paper calendars, and manual payment tracking. The platform is designed to accommodate different artists and studios, allowing them to configure booking rules, deposit policies, availability, and client workflows based on how they operate their businesses. We are developing the platform as a full-stack web and mobile product, with engineers owning features end-to-end from database migrations and backend services through to user-facing interfaces. Key areas include scheduling and booking, payment processing, client management, messaging, workflow customization, and mobile experiences for artists. The system is designed for reliability and rapid iteration, with production features released incrementally behind feature flags and continuously refined based on feedback from artists and studio owners.
