Beyond technical leadership, you’ll actively mentor and empower the team—multiplying their skills and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role: Part Architect, Part Builder, and Part Mentor. You’ll lead by example, designing a scalable data enrichment service, and guiding engineering teams toward better patterns, tooling, and practices.

NOTE: Candidates must reside in Canada.

  • You’ll join a culture that values autonomy and trust. We empower experienced engineers to make decisions, move quickly, and see their work make a measurable difference. No ivory towers.
  • You’ll shape and drive the architecture of new services that unlock meaningful insights and help our customers do their most important work.

  • Minimum 8+ years of professional experience in Software Engineering.
  • Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience designing, delivering, and optimizing solutions on cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), with demonstrated expertise in scalability, performance, observability, and cost optimization.
  • Proficiency in several of C#/ASP.Net Core, Python, PowerShell, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Open Telemetry, SQL, and ElasticSearch
  • Demonstrable depth and breadth of expertise across multiple domains (e.g. systems design, networking, distributed systems, cloud-scale development and operations, architecture, performance-optimized algorithms).
  • Proven ability to establish credibility with all levels, with technical and non-technical audiences, and to influence teams to support change management initiatives.
  • Strong aptitude for learning and teaching others about new technologies.
  • A proven track record of shipping pragmatic solutions, balancing technical vision with delivery.
  • Excellent mentorship and leadership skills, with the ability to guide and challenge senior developers.
  • Clear and confident communication: you can explain tradeoffs, document patterns, and build trust across Engineering, Product, and UX.
  • Comfortable leading by example: rolling up your sleeves to prototype ideas and prove out new patterns, then scaling those patterns widely through evangelism and mentorship.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation).

    • Nice To Have

  • Experience with domain‑driven design and modular architecture.
  • Understanding of AI systems, including LLM architectures, token generation and MCP frameworks.
