Job description

Location : Toronto, ON (Hybrid, 3 days in office per week)

Type : Full-time

Application Deadline : July 25, 2025

At Tetra Trust, we don’t just write code, we write the future of digital asset infrastructure in Canada. We’re Canada’s first qualified custodian for digital assets, and we’re building something that’s never existed before : a secure, compliant, institutional-grade backbone for the digital asset industry.

We don’t believe in hype. We believe in high standards, hard work, and delivering what matters.

Who You Are

You're someone who’s done good work, maybe even great work, but you’re hungry for more. Not more perks. Not more fluff. More challenges. More ownership. More meaning . You’re a builder with a chip on your shoulder, and your best work is still ahead of you.

You know how to lead without ego.

You know when to lead and when to support, and you bring intention to both

And you know that excellence, the kind that actually matters, is built through consistency and accountability, not noise.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Senior Full Stack Developer / Technical Lead to step into a pivotal role on our growing engineering team. This isn’t a role for the faint of heart or the fringe contributor, it’s for someone who wants to build, lead, and leave their mark.

You’ll work side-by-side with our CTO to set the tone for our technical direction, while still staying deeply in the code. Think of it as a player-coach, someone who can bridge architecture and execution, code and communication, vision and reality.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading by doing, owning systems across the stack (frontend, backend, infra)
• Providing clarity, mentorship, and technical guidance to the team
• Translating vision into architecture and architecture into execution
• Collaborating directly with the CTO, and acting as a connective force between technical leadership and the engineering team
• Championing clean code, modern tooling, and scalable design
• Embracing AI-driven tooling and automation to work smarter
• Hiring, onboarding, and building the team you’ve always wanted to work on
• Stepping into a broader leadership role as the company scales

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need to have it all, but you do need to own where you’re at, take initiative to level up, and be the kind of teammate others trust to follow through

You might be our person if you have :

• 7+ years of full stack experience (React, TypeScript, backend systems)
• A working knowledge (or curiosity) for Golang, PostgreSQL, AWS
• People management experience, and the emotional intelligence to work effectively across all levels, managing up, supporting your team, and collaborating across functions
• A bias for action, ownership, and real outcomes
• Experience working in fast-moving, ever-changing environments

You’ll stand out if you’ve also worked with :

• Blockchain or Web3 technologies
• Secure systems in fintech or regulated environments
• Startups or scale-ups where you've worn a few hats, and worn them well

Our Tech Stack (for now, we’re evolving)

What’s in it for You

• High-Impact Environment Work closely with experienced, driven leaders who build with intention. You’ll gain constant exposure, hands-on learning, and opportunities to grow both technically and professionally
• Real Ownership Play a key role in shaping foundational systems and decisions. You’ll influence how things get done, who does them, and what the future looks like
• Competitive Compensation Receive a strong salary, performance-based incentives, and a benefits package designed to support you
• Accelerated Growth Expect to be challenged, supported, and stretched in ways that push your skills and career forward at a rapid pace

Before You Apply

Let’s be clear : Tetra isn’t for everyone. But if you're a high-output, high-trust professional with a fire in your gut and a mind that doesn't settle, we encourage you to apply before the application deadline. You don’t need to have it all figured out. But you need to want to.

This role is based in Toronto with a structured hybrid work model of at least 3 days in the office per week. This role requires a full-time office work model during the first month for training or more.
