Job description

Based in Canada, Paramount Commerce is a fintech company focused on making payments simpler and more secure. We’ve been helping reshape online payments since the early 2000s, enabling people to pay directly from their bank accounts, without relying on credit cards or e-wallets.

Security, risk management, and reliability are at the core of what we do. We build payment solutions that are seamless, backed by strong safeguards and meaningful data.

As we continue to grow across Canada and prepare for global expansion, we’re looking for curious, thoughtful people who enjoy solving complex problems and pushing ideas forward. If you’re excited about building the future of payments - and want to be part of a team that’s shaping what’s next - we’d love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

You'll lead a high-performing team responsible for the entire merchant platform. Your mission is to build the robust, scalable, and intuitive systems that define our merchant experience. This is a critical, hands-on leadership role where you will drive the technical strategy for how we onboard, manage, and retain our merchants.

This isn't just about managing a team; it's about architecting the future of our merchant-facing technology and fostering a culture of technical excellence. You will be at the centre of our most critical growth initiatives, enabling seamless engagement and loyalty through superior engineering.

What You'll Do

  • Technical Delivery: Own day-to-day technical execution for your squad. Lead solution design, break down complex problems, and ensure the team consistently ships high-quality, scalable software across the merchant platform.
  • Hands-On Engineering: Stay active in the codebase. You'll write code, lead by example in reviews, and be the go-to resource when teammates hit a tough technical problem.
  • Technical Direction & Architecture: Drive pragmatic architecture decisions for your squad's work. You'll set the technical direction, evaluate trade-offs, and ensure the team builds things that last — without over-engineering.
  • Mentorship & Team Elevation: Actively grow the engineers around you. Through pairing, code reviews, and direct feedback, you'll build a team that holds a high technical bar and keeps raising it.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership: Work closely with other Engineering Leaders and Product Managers to translate merchant needs into a well-scoped, actionable technical plan the team can execute against.


Who You Are

  • A Hands-On Technical Leader: You have 5+ years of software development experience (preferably in Java or Go) and at least 1 year in a tech lead or senior technical capacity. You still love writing code — and you're good at it.
  • A Tech-Forward Builder: You're comfortable across our core stack — Java and Go on the backend, React on the frontend, PostgreSQL for data, and AWS or GCP in the cloud. You make pragmatic decisions and know how to build for scale and reliability.
  • A Systems Thinker: You have a solid grasp of distributed systems, performance, and what reliability actually means in production. You design with the long term in mind, without over-engineering for problems you don't have yet.
  • A Multiplier: You make the people around you better. You give clear, candid, and kind feedback. You unblock teammates without creating dependency, and you build a culture where everyone holds a high bar.
  • An Autonomous Driver: You don't wait to be told what to do. You identify the next problem, gather the right context, and move — keeping the team focused and productive in the proc

Fiers membres de Paiements Canada, nous sommes étroitement liés à l’évolution du paysage financier et veillons à ce que nos solutions demeurent conformes, fiables et tournées vers l’avenir. La sécurité, la gestion du risque et l’intégrité des données sont au cœur de tout ce que nous développons. Nous concevons des solutions de paiement fluides, réfléchies et évolutives.

Alors que nous poursuivons notre croissance au Canada et préparons notre expansion vers de nouveaux marchés, nous recherchons des personnes curieuses, réfléchies et axées sur les données, qui aiment résoudre des problèmes complexes de bout en bout et faire progresser des idées du concept à l’exécution dans un environnement rapide et itératif.

L’opportunité

Vous dirigerez une équipe hautement performante responsable de l'ensemble de la plateforme marchande. Votre mission sera de concevoir des systèmes robustes, évolutifs et intuitifs qui définissent l'expérience de nos marchands. Il s'agit d'un rôle de leadership essentiel et pratique où vous définirez la stratégie technique pour l'intégration, la gestion et la fidélisation de nos marchands.

Au-delà de la gestion d'équipe, il s'agit d'architecturer l'avenir de notre technologie destinée aux marchands et de cultiver une culture d'excellence technique. Vous serez au centre de nos initiatives de croissance les plus cruciales, permettant un engagement et une fidélisation sans faille grâce à une ingénierie de pointe.

Ce que vous ferez

  • Gestion des livrables techniques : Assumer l'exécution technique quotidienne de votre escouade (squad). Diriger la conception des solutions, décomposer les problèmes complexes et veiller à ce que l'équipe livre constamment des logiciels évolutifs et de haute qualité pour l'ensemble de la plateforme marchande.
  • Ingénierie pratique : Maintenir une implication active dans la base de code. Vous rédigerez du code, servirez d'exemple lors des revues de code et serez la référence lorsque des coéquipiers ou coéquipières rencontreront un problème technique difficile.
  • Orientation technique et architecture : Prendre des décisions d'architecture pragmatiques pour le travail de votre escouade. Vous définirez l'orientation technique, évaluerez les compromis et vous assurerez que l'équipe conçoive des solutions durables, sans suringénierie.
  • Mentorât et perfectionnement d’équipe : Faire activement progresser les ingénieurs et ingénieures qui vous entourent. Grâce au jumelage (pairing), aux revues de code et au retour d’information direct, vous bâtirez une équipe qui maintient et élève constamment un haut niveau d’exigence technique.
  • Partenariat interfonctionnel : Collaborer étroitement avec les autres leaders en ingénierie et les chefs de produit pour traduire les besoins des marchands en un plan technique bien défini et exploitable que l'équipe pourra exécuter.


Qui vous êtes

  • Un leader technique pratique : Vous possédez plus de 5 ans d'expérience en développement logiciel (de préférence Java ou Go) et au moins 1 an d'expérience à titre de leader technique ou de capacité technique senior. Vous aimez toujours écrire du code — et vous excellez dans ce domaine.
  • Un bâtisseur axé sur la technologie : Vous maîtrisez notre pile technologique de base (core stack) — Java et Go pour le backend, React pour le frontend, PostgreSQL pour les données, et AWS ou GCP dans le cloud. Vous prenez des décisions pragmatiques et savez concevoir pour l'évolutivité et la fiabilité.
  • Un penseur de systèmes : Vous avez une solide compréhension des systèmes distribués, de la performance et de ce que signifie réellement la fiabilité en production. Vous concevez en pensant au long terme, sans faire de suringénierie pour des problèmes qui ne sont pas encore présents.
  • Un catalyseur : Vous permettez aux personnes qui vous entourent de s'améliorer. Vous donnez un retour d’information clair, franc et constructif. Vous débloquez vos coéquipiers et coéquipières sans créer de dépendance et vous bâtissez une culture où tous et toutes maintiennent un haut niveau d’exigence.
  • Un moteur autonome : Vous n'attendez pas qu'on vous dise quoi faire. Vous identifiez le prochain problème, rassemblez le contexte pertinent et agissez — en maintenant l'équipe concentrée et productive.


En résumé, vous savez diriger une fonction Opérations clients de haut niveau et en faire un levier stratégique pour l’entreprise.
