Job description

About SureSwift Capital

SureSwift Capital is a private equity firm with a diversified digital portfolio, seeking a seasoned, front-end-leaning full-stack developer to build and modernize software across a portfolio of SaaS businesses. Our focus is transformation via AI enablement, and this role sits at the center of it: someone who thinks differently about how software gets built, leveraging AI as a core part of their workflow, not just a tool.

About the Role

The successful candidate will work across different web technology stacks as a true generalist, ramping quickly in unfamiliar environments and using AI to accelerate development, reduce friction, and ship high-quality features faster. They will own feature development end-to-end while maintaining the stability and performance of existing production systems. This role works closely with the cross-functional team and reports to the Portfolio Leader (or designate).

The ideal candidate is a hands-on builder who is equally comfortable extending legacy production applications and shipping polished new features, with a genuine eye for how software looks and feels to the user.

What You’ll Do

Feature Development & Delivery

• Own feature development end-to-end, from UI design through backend implementation, QA, and deployment.
• Partner with the Portfolio Leader and business teams to prioritize and deliver features for existing applications.
• Build new features, fix bugs, and optimize performance across diverse tech stacks.
• Set and uphold a high bar for how things look and feel to the user.

AI-Augmented Engineering

• Develop repeatable approaches and best practices for AI-assisted development.
• Own AI as a core part of the development workflow to accelerate delivery and reduce friction.
• Apply and champion AI-powered code generation and agentic tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) throughout the build process.

Legacy Systems & Code Quality

• Take ownership of understanding and extending legacy production systems while maintaining stability and performance.
• Drive modernization of existing applications without disrupting customers.
• Establish robust test coverage, regression checks, and safe deployment workflows.

What You Bring

Required

• Demonstrated experience with modern AI coding tools (especially agentic solutions like Claude Code) as a core part of the workflow.
• Product-First AI Mindset: Focus on business value, user experience, and applying use of development via models directly to solve practical end‑user challenges.
• Experience modernizing and extending existing legacy production applications while maintaining stability.
• Proven track record of technically leading engineering workstreams, taking ownership of the development lifecycle, and mentoring junior‑to‑mid level developers.
• Proven history of delivering high-quality, maintainable software within production environments, emphasizing robust testing, rigorous security auditing, and proactive dependency management.
• Experience with modern frontend and backend technologies, including PHP, CodeIgniter, MySQL, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, Docker, and AWS.
• UI/UX design sensibility or formal design experience.
• Ability to communicate with executive leadership effectively on project status.

What We Offer

• Flexible scheduling, focus on deliverables
• Extended health and dental benefits from day one
• Annual salary $140,000- $190,000 CDN
