Canada's largest outdoor and fashion e-commerce retailer
Altitude Sports operates a mature e-commerce platform serving outdoor and fashion customers across Canada, built on AWS, Kubernetes, and Python with strong analytics tooling (Power BI, Tableau, Google Analytics). The engineering hiring mix—split between junior, senior, and leadership roles—paired with active projects in CI/CD automation, test automation, and personalization, signals investment in platform stability and customer experience. Key pain points around technical debt, cross-team dependencies, and product resilience indicate a company scaling beyond early-stage infrastructure.
Notable leadership hires: Delivery Director, Product Lead, Team Lead
