About Float

Float is on a mission to simplify finance for Canadian businesses, empowering them to eliminate complexity and unlock new opportunities. Through our innovative platform, Float enables businesses to streamline financial operations and optimize cash flow, so they can focus on what matters most: growth.

As one of Canada’s fastest growing companies and top-rated startups in 2024 and 2023, Float is customer-obsessed, passionate and entrepreneurial, with a team that includes leaders from Uber, Shopify, Top Hat, TouchBistro, and Ada.

At Float, everyone is an owner, bringing their unique perspective to our team and product. Your voice is important, and we take having a culture based on feedback seriously. We openly share our thoughts and differing opinions so we can continue to improve. We do our best to keep our decision-making decentralized so that all team members feel ownership in our success.

Our Product

Float is Canada’s complete business finance platform, combining modern financial services and software to help businesses spend, save, and grow. Trusted by 5000+ Canadian companies, Float provides high-limit corporate cards, automated expense management, next-day bill payments, high-yield accounts and fast, friendly support—all built in Canada, for Canada. Float is backed by world-class venture and fintech investors, including Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives and OMERS Ventures, partners behind our $70 million Series B raise.

Our team is a collection of ambitious, collaborative and mission-driven people from all walks of life but with one goal: helping Canadian companies not just survive but thrive. And we’re looking for bold innovators to help shape the future of business finance in Canada.

AI Use in Our Hiring Process

We use technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to support parts of our hiring process. This may include AI-assisted scheduling and candidate communications, and AI-generated interview notes, guides or summaries to help our team focus on the conversation. All hiring decisions are made by our hiring team.

About the Role

This role sits within Float’s Frontend Platform group, focused on building high-quality user experiences across web and mobile. Today, the work is weighted toward frontend foundations and design systems, with ongoing responsibility for maintaining and evolving Float’s mobile application.

We are hiring across multiple levels for this role. Our interview process is designed to assess candidates objectively based on scope, judgment, and growth potential, and we will level accordingly. As Float continues to grow, there are significant opportunities to expand ownership, lead foundational initiatives, and take on broader technical responsibility over time.

This is not a mobile-only role. It’s designed for developers who are comfortable across frontend surfaces and who want to be force multipliers for product teams.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build and maintain frontend systems using TypeScript and React.
• Contribute to and evolve Float’s design system, improving parity between design and implementation.
• Maintain and enhance the mobile application using React Native, ensuring reliability and release health.
• Own mobile build, testing, submission, and post-release monitoring workflows.
• Partner closely with Product and Design to deliver consistent, high-quality user experiences.
• Enable other engineers through shared components, patterns, and documentation.
• Raise frontend and mobile standards through clear ownership and technical judgment.

What Success Looks Like (6–12 Months)

• Design system adoption and parity improves meaningfully across the organization.
• Mobile releases are predictable, reliable, and no longer a single point of failure.
• Other engineers can confidently contribute to frontend and mobile work using shared foundations.
• UI quality, consistency, and developer experience noticeably improve.
• You are trusted as an owner of frontend and mobile foundations.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience with modern frontend development (TypeScript, React).
• Production exposure to React Native or native mobile platforms.
• Familiarity with mobile release workflows, testing, and monitoring.
• Interest in design systems and developer experience.
• Comfort owning foundational work and leading through influence.
• Bonus: experience building shared UI platforms or enabling teams at scale.

Our Hiring Philosophy

• Values > Aptitude > Skills
• Slope > Intercept
• Collective Bar Raising

We hire for character, curiosity, and learning velocity before credentials. Titles matter less than impact, and every hire is expected to raise the bar for Float as a whole.

Why You Should Join

• Work at one of Canada’s fastest-growing fintech companies
• Make a real impact in a high-autonomy, high-growth role
• Collaborate with an ambitious and supportive team
• Competitive compensation, equity options, and benefits
• Hybrid work model – we are based in Toronto with in-office days for connection and collaboration
• Enjoy catered team lunches every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
• Bring your pup to our dog-friendly office
• Thrive in a high-trust, high-performance culture where your work truly matters

In Short

At Float, you’ll thrive if you’re bold, curious, and eager to make a real impact. We\'re building something special—and having a lot of fun along the way. If you’re excited to build, grow, and win together, we’d love to meet you.

We’re committed to building a workplace that’s welcoming and accessible for everyone. If you need accommodations during the hiring process or once you join Float, just let us know. You can reach out to Vic ([e-mail]), and we’ll work with you to make sure you have what you need to succeed.
