Who we are

Imagine a world where your birthplace doesn’t limit your dreams. 🌍 That’s what Passage is here to create. We aren’t just a bridge of financial support; we connect families all around the world to life-changing opportunities. We believe in a future where deserving students can pursue their dreams & ambitions—even if their parents don’t have money.

Our mission is bold but simple: by 2030, we aim to dismantle the barriers preventing brilliant minds from accessing the opportunities they deserve. Starting with financial barriers, we’re offering loans to international students and refugees, helping them pursue better education in Canada and unlock a world of possibilities—not just for themselves, but for their families and future generations, too.

It’s important to note that we maintain an in-office working policy, and we require candidates to either reside in Toronto or be open to commuting into the office a few days a week.

Who you are

You’re a mission-driven, ambitious individual who wants to win by doing good. You’re passionately curious about the world, empathetic toward others, and driven to create meaningful impact. You’re not afraid of a problem and see it as an opportunity. You’re a builder.

You likely have a strength in either frontend or backend development. If you're more experienced in frontend, we value your eye for design and your talent for creating engaging user experiences. If backend is your area of expertise, we look for your ability to architect complex services and manage databases effectively. In both cases, we count on you to contribute thoughtfully to product decisions.

What you will do

Solve complex problems end-to-end.
Design, develop, and maintain complex software applications.
Lead the technical design and architecture of software systems.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop new features and products.
Write clean, maintainable code in accordance with best practices.
Participate in code reviews and provide feedback to improve overall code quality.
Exhibit a strong sense of ownership in all aspects of your work.

Nice to haves

8+ years of varying experiences as a Software Engineer.
Proficient in Python, Django, TypeScript, and React.
Experience with cloud platforms such as GCP is a plus.
Deep knowledge of software design patterns and architecture.
Strong understanding of database design and development.
