Senior Software Engineer
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
The Role
We're looking for a senior engineer to build and own AI-powered product features end to end, from schema and API design through to shipping in production and iterating on real usage. You’ll lean on AI coding tools like Claude and Cursor to move fast across the stack.
This is an AI-native engineering role. We expect AI to be a core part of how you work, a genuine multiplier for how much you can design, build, and ship. We care far more about how you build than which stack you've used. If you write clean, reliable code and can take an ambiguous problem to a shipped, maintained feature, we want to talk to you.
What you will find in our current tech stack: TypeScript, Python, Node.js, GCP, Kubernetes, React, PostgreSQL, Clickhouse and Temporal.
What you’ll do
Design, build, and ship fullstack features independently, from technical design through deployment and monitoring
Raise the bar on code quality. Ship reliable, exceptionally clean code across our entire stack, covering everything from APIs and databases to frontend components.
Design pragmatic data models and database schemas that hold up as the product grows.
Use AI coding tools as a core part of your workflow to ship more, faster, without dropping quality.
Turn complex product challenges into concrete, shippable technical plans.
Collaborate with product managers, designers, engineers and customers to create and improve our products
What you’ll bring
4+ years of experience building and shipping production software, with a track record of owning features end to end.
Hands-on experience as an AI-native Engineer and ability to get high-quality, production-ready output
Experience with relational databases and solid schema design instincts: you can model a domain sensibly and reason about tradeoffs.
Understanding of modern cloud infrastructure
Experience with Kubernetes will be a great plus.
Fluency in at least one modern language: TypeScript, Python, Go, or similar.
True fullstack ownership: comfortable across backend, data, and frontend, since you'll own it all.
Clear communication and a collaborative, low-ego approach to code review and design.
Work Location
- We appreciate the flexibility of hybrid work, and we also value the energy that comes from being in the same room. Our team gathers at our office in downtown Toronto up to three times a month. If you're able to join us in person on those days, we'd love to hear from you.
What is in for you
Competitive Compensation: The estimated base salary range for this role in Canada is $160,000 CAD - $210,000 CAD with most new hires joining near the midpoint. Actual salaries may vary within the range, or above or below it, based on factors such as experience, skills, location, and business needs.
Equity
Comprehensive Health Benefits from day one, for you and your dependents
Time Off: 20 vacation days + 5 flex days around EOY holidays

Above all, every decision is made by real people, drawing on genuine understanding, and rooted in our values and culture.
