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.

About the Senior Full Stack Developer role

This might just be the best Developer opportunity in Canada (if we do say so ourselves). Float is looking for exceptional Senior Full Stack Developers to build simple, elegant, and highly intuitive products for our SMB customers. Developers hired will play a critical role in building products used every day for Float's growing customer base.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for building and enabling credit products for our customers that are dependent on their financial profile, real-time account balances, monthly spending, and working capital needs. You’ll have the opportunity to enable the growth of a diverse cross‑section of Canadian businesses through your work.

You will work with small cross‑functional teams (squads of 5‑8 people in product, engineering, design and ops) and will have extreme ownership over your product vertical. Squads will have everything they need to move quickly, be innovative, decisive and quickly ship high‑quality products and features.
