Job description

Lead Software Engineer/ Hands-on – Founding Toronto Team

We’re helping an AI-native SaaS startup build its Toronto engineering hub, starting with a founding technical leader who’s eager to scale both systems and teams.

This is a rare opportunity for a Staff Engineer or Engineering Manager who’s still hands‑on with code but ready to own architecture, mentor engineers, and help grow a high‑impact team from the ground up.

🔧 What You’ll Do

  • Drive technical direction, architecture, and design across backend, frontend, and ML systems
  • Stay hands‑on—review code, lead design sessions, and contribute to builds
  • Manage and mentor a growing team across backend, frontend, dev tools, and QA
  • Collaborate closely with the VP of Software and HQ team in Silicon Valley
  • Own delivery of key product features and infrastructure from the Toronto office
  • Lead hiring, onboarding, and shape engineering culture in a new hub
  • Help scale the team from 3 → 20+ engineers over the next 24 months

🌟 We like to speak with you if you offer :

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience
  • Offer 3+ years in a technical leadership or management role
  • Built or scaled cloud‑native SaaS platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Have deep expertise in backend systems, frontend architecture, or both
  • Experience building or integrating AI/ML infrastructure or LLM-powered products
  • Demonstrate a track record of leading cross‑functional teams in high‑growth or startup environments
  • Have been mentoring early‑career engineers and growing healthy engineering cultures before
  • (Bonus) : Have experience with developer tools, IDEs, or platforms for engineers

Quick Self-Check:

  • Are you still hands‑on but ready to grow and lead others?
  • Do you thrive in startup environments where speed and ownership matter?
  • Have you built scalable, production‑grade systems in the cloud?
  • Can you build trust across product, design, ML, and engineering teams?

If you answered “yes” to most of these, we’d love to hear from you. This is a unique opportunity to help build both a world‑class engineering system and a world‑class engineering team—from the ground up.
