Scribendi is seeking a Senior Full-Stack Developer to join our engineering team. In this role you'll build and maintain scalable systems using PHP (Laravel), JavaScript (Next.js, jQuery), MySQL, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, Python, and Smarty—contributing to both new development and modernization of legacy applications.
This is a role for a fearless self-starter with strong communication skills, a solid work ethic, and the ability to participate in all aspects of the software development lifecycle—from architecture to deployment to mentoring. You'll also have the opportunity to collaborate on AI agent-driven features that support Scribendi's mission to enhance the writing and publishing process with intelligent automation.
This role is being offered as fully remote or hybrid, with our head office based in Chatham, ON.
What you will do
Scribendi is a global leader in academic and professional editing, helping researchers and professionals communicate complex ideas with clarity and impact. Since 1997, we've worked with clients across disciplines to support meaningful research and thought leadership. We act as thinking partners in the academic process, offering critical feedback, intellectual engagement, and expert insight to elevate our clients' work. In 2018, Scribendi launched Scribendi.ai, our AI and machine-learning brand, to develop tools to improve our customer experience and enhance the skills of our human editors.
In 2023, Scribendi was acquired by the Japanese corporation M3, Inc. via its subsidiary Edanz. Since 1995, Edanz and its team of expert editors and research consultants have helped thousands of researchers all over the world publish successfully in international journals.
Together, Scribendi and Edanz serve a global network of researchers, institutions, and organizations that value credibility, clarity, and academic expertise.
