About us

Broadsign is a growing software company with a mission to make buying, selling, and delivering out-of-home media easier than ever. Our software is operated by some of the most successful out-of-home businesses and powers impactful, compelling campaigns seen across the world.
Come join us as a Junior/Intermediate Software Developer (Java) in Montreal.

About the role

The R&D department is at the center of the action at Broadsign. Your main focus will be to design and develop new features on both the front- and back-end of our software suite. And, because you’re a technology enthusiast, you’ll probably want to tweak and maintain our existing feature set as well! You’ll get to participate in sprints where you’ll be encouraged to share your ideas and knowledge with your team. Basically, you’ll be working in a dynamic and peer-driven environment where you’ll play with all the latest and greatest hardware and software!

What you need to perform this job

• 2-4 years of professional software development experience.
• Good knowledge/experience with Java development, but you have a strong interest in working with Kotlin and TypeScript.
• Experience with Git version control and CI/CD practices.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.

What to Expect

• Feature Development & Evolution: In this role, you will develop and maintain our Media Player Application (Android and TypeScript). This isn't your typical consumer app; it’s a mission-critical system designed for high availability with minimal human interaction.
  While our current stack leverages Kotlin, TypeScript, WebView/Chromium, and Jetpack, we believe a strong foundation in Java is the perfect springboard for success here.
  We are looking for Java developers who are excited to apply their expertise to Android environments and evolve their skills into Kotlin and TypeScript. You’ll be part of a DevOps culture that prioritizes clean, secure code and dedicated Innovation Days to explore new ideas.
• Collaboration & Agile Practices: You will join a high-performing Agile team comprising a Product Manager, a QA Analyst, and a group of driven developers. Success is built on collaboration; you will actively participate in code reviews, offering and receiving constructive feedback to uphold our high standards. You will contribute to technical design discussions and help shape the future architecture of our applications as we continue to innovate in the DOOH space.
• Quality & Performance Optimization: Quality is at the core of what we do. You will identify, debug, and fix defects and implement unit and integration tests using JUnit and Jest. Because our software runs on a diverse range of hardware globally, you will focus on optimizing applications for maximum stability and performance, even on low-spec devices.

What we bring to the table

• Flexible work environment—work from home or the office 
• Comprehensive Benefits: Complete company insurance plan (health, dental, vision, travel) effective from day one (100% employer-paid).
• Health Spending: $500 annual Health Care Savings Account (HCSA) for additional health-related expenses.
• Virtual Healthcare: Unlimited access to the Telus Health virtual platform.
• Wellness: $500 annual Wellness fund for mental/physical health and office-related expenses.
• Retirement Savings: Group RRSP with 50% employer matching up to 4% of your salary.
• Paid Time Off: Minimum 3 weeks vacation, 5 floater days, 5 sick/personal days, and 2 volunteer days.
• Family Support: Parental leave salary supplement (including up to 23 weeks top-up for maternity leave).
• Financial Perks: Transportation reimbursement for travel to a Broadsign office.
• Growth: Training & development opportunities with a yearly budget to support professional growth, 3 paid training days/year

At Broadsign, we value the varied social identities that make up our community. We recognize talent comes in different forms and encourage applications that reflect different backgrounds and experiences. Our promise is to be an inclusive employer and partner, open to learning, with thoughtful strategies and practices that amplify the different voices of our industry.
