About Croesus
Croesus provides wealth management software, portfolio rebalancing tools, and APIs.
The company has more than 200 employees across Montréal, Toronto, and Geneva offices.
Position
Lead a small Innovation team working on early-stage bets, prototypes, customer validation, AI-native products, and next-generation platform features.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not an engineering-manager-only position.
What you will do
- Own architecture and make technical design and build-versus-buy decisions; guide the team and contribute to code on the hardest problems.
- Improve the team's AI-powered development lifecycle across specification, CI/CD, testing, observability, and tooling.
- Lead developers and researchers, supporting growth, delivery, focus, and customer-facing research outcomes.
- Prototype and validate opportunities with customers, and advance promising work when appropriate.
What you will bring
- Deep current engineering expertise, including architecture and delivery of non-trivial systems and the ability to work in code.
- Breadth across C#/.NET, REST/WebAPI, TypeScript, Angular or React, and Python for AI/ML; deep in most areas and able to ramp up on others.
- Experience with microservices, modular monoliths, CQRS, event-driven systems, and REST/OpenAPI APIs.
- Practical AI-native experience or intuition across LLMs, agent frameworks, AI coding tools, evaluations, and current model capabilities.
- Knowledge of CI/CD, testing, observability, developer tooling, and development lifecycle improvement.
- Ability to lead a small team, work through ambiguity, make decisions, and iterate.
- Comfort working in a bilingual French/English environment.
How we work
- Hybrid work with two days per week in the office at the Laval or Montreal offices.
- Small teams, real ownership, short feedback loops, and security and reliability considered part of the engineering craft.
Benefits
- Benefits include à la carte vacations, profit sharing, sports and gym programs, telemedicine, group insurance, group RRSP, training, referral bonus, parking, and electric vehicle charging.
- The company also offers breakfast, employee events, and renovated office facilities.
Success measures
Within 90 days, learn the team and codebase, identify bottlenecks, improve at least one development loop, and become a trusted technical decision-maker.
Within 6 to 12 months, help the team ship faster without losing quality, raise the technical bar, validate bets with users, and bring research to customers.
