Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Litmus sits in a distinct corner of the SaaS ecosystem where cloud software meets edge deployments and industrial data. For SaaS engineers, that intersection matters because product reliability is shaped not only by application code, but also by networking, device constraints, and the realities of running software close to machines. A senior Golang role here signals work on infrastructure that supports real time data flows and production grade integrations rather than purely web layer features.
From a career standpoint, the role builds durable SaaS experience in distributed systems, API design, and operational robustness. Exposure to patterns like message brokers, time series storage, and security controls such as OAuth2 and RBAC tends to translate across modern SaaS platforms, especially those serving data intensive or regulated customers. The emphasis on testability, design documentation, and code review also aligns with the engineering practices expected in mature SaaS environments.
This position is best suited to an engineer who prefers ownership over narrowly scoped tickets and who enjoys collaborating across product and engineering functions to turn requirements into reliable services. It will appeal to someone comfortable working close to Linux and infrastructure concerns while still delivering platform capabilities that product teams can build on.

Job Description
Who is Litmus
Litmus is building the data foundation that powers industrial AI.
AI doesn’t work without real-world, contextualized data - Litmus makes that data usable. As AI adoption accelerates, most industrial environments still can’t access or use their operational data. We solve that gap.
We’re a growth-stage software company helping manufacturers access, structure, and use real-time data from machines, systems, and sensors at the edge. Our platform sits at the intersection of edge computing, AI, and industrial operations, enabling some of the world’s largest companies to run operations in real time, reduce downtime, and optimize production.
Backed by leading investors and trusted by global manufacturers and partners like Google, Microsoft, Dell, Oracle, and Mitsubishi, Litmus is powering the shift toward software-defined manufacturing.
Why join Litmus
Build the infrastructure that makes industrial AI possible
AI is moving beyond the cloud and into the physical world. At Litmus, you’ll build the infrastructure that enables real-time data to power AI and machine learning systems in production environments.
Work on problems where software meets the real world
Most AI systems fail without access to real-world data. You’ll build the layer that makes them viable in production. We solve challenges at the intersection of distributed systems, real-time data, and industrial constraints — where reliability, scale, and performance are non-negotiable.
Have real impact, fast
You’ll work on systems used by real customers in production, with direct impact on product and company trajectory. As a scaling company, we move quickly. You’ll have ownership, visibility, and the ability to shape both product and company as we scale.
Join a high-performance team
We’re building a team that holds a high bar and pushes each other to improve. You’ll work alongside experienced operators, engineers, and leaders who have done this before and are building again at scale. We hire people who take ownership, move quickly, and care about outcomes. No passengers.
Our culture
At Litmus, the team is collaborative, curious, and low ego. People are scrappy, take ownership, and look for ways to make an impact. We value empathy just as much as execution, whether that’s in how we build, how we communicate, or how we support each other.
We’re a growing company, so things move quickly and not everything is perfectly defined. If you enjoy figuring things out, working closely with others, and making steady progress, you’ll do well here.
Responsibilities
Participate in planning and design sessions for projects, in collaboration with Product, Program Management, UX, and other stakeholders.
Qualifications
Salary is commensurate on experience, background, location and qualifications. Base salary range for this position is $120,000 to $150,000 CAD.
