Job description

Our Toronto based client is looking for a Full Stack Developer (Java / React / AI-Powered Systems) to join their team. Location: Toronto, ON (downtown.). Hybrid: 2 days/week on-site. Contract Duration: 12 months. Are you an engineer who lives in the IDE, thrives on shipping clean code, and loves seeing your work hit production? We are looking for a Full Stack Developer to join a tight‑knit, high‑impact team building a next‑generation, AI‑driven Client Management Platform. We aren’t looking for slide‑deck architects or high‑level delegates—we want active, hands‑on coders who write unit tests, debug in KVM environments, review AI‑generated code, and take true ownership of their software.

Advantages

• Build Modern AI Tech: Work on a "one-stop-shop" platform that ingests live data streams (Outlook, Zoom, Symphony, Bloomberg) and leverages AI to auto-generate intelligence, summaries, and action items for business teams.
• True "You Build It, You Own It" Culture: Experience full-cycle engineering. You’ll own your code from initial commit through CI/CD, testing, and production deployment.
• Lean, High-Visibility Team: Join a nimble 5-person engineering pod with global support, where your code directly impacts the business every single day.
• Collaborative Hybrid Environment: Downtown Toronto location with initial 2 days/week in‑office collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Writing & Reviewing Code: Hands‑on development in Java (Java 21) microservices and React / JavaScript front-ends.
• Integrating AI: Working with OpenAI APIs and GitHub Copilot—evaluating, debugging, and optimizing AI‑driven components.
• Managing Data: Architecting RESTful APIs and querying/optimizing PostgreSQL databases.
• Linux & DevOps: Navigating Linux environments, checking DB data, and managing deployments via automated CI/CD pipelines.
• Quality & Reliability: Writing robust automated unit and integration tests, tackling tech debt, and participating in pair coding and code reviews.

Qualifications

• Hands‑on Experience: 3 to 6+ years of active, day‑to‑day software development experience (5 years is the sweet spot!).
• Core Stack Proficiency: Strong expertise in Java (multithreading, microservices architecture) and modern JavaScript / React.
• Database & API Skills: Solid hands‑on experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred) and RESTful API design.
• Practical Linux & Infrastructure: Comfortable using basic Unix/Linux commands to inspect systems, check DB state, and debug KVM testing environments.
• AI Tooling Awareness: Experience with or strong curiosity about OpenAI integrations and Copilot, including the ability to debug and evaluate AI‑generated code.
• Mindset: A pragmatic problem-solver who values secure engineering, automated testing, and safe, regular production releases.
• Nice‑to‑Haves:
  • Experience in financial services, banking, or trading platforms (e.g., Bloomberg, Symphony integrations).
  • Exposure to modern DevOps practices and internal deployment tooling.

Summary

If you’re ready to solve real‑world problems, work directly with modern AI tools like GitHub Copilot and OpenAI integrations, and take features from concept to production, we want to talk to you.
