• Leverage analytics and experimentation data to inform product decisions
• Implement and improve experimentation frameworks, analytics instrumentation, and growth tooling
• Use AI tools and automation to improve engineering velocity and team effectiveness
• Drive technical quality through testing, code reviews, operational excellence, and thoughtful architecture
• Mentor junior engineers through collaboration, feedback, and example
• Balance speed and quality while maintaining strong customer outcomes

Qualifications

• 2–5 years of software engineering experience building customer-facing web applications
• Strong professional experience building backend systems and customer-facing applications with Ruby on Rails
• Working knowledge of React, TypeScript, and modern frontend development practices
• Ability to contribute effectively across the stack while maintaining a backend-first focus
• Strong product sense and ability to evaluate tradeoffs through both customer and business lenses
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools to improve engineering workflows and productivity
• Experience partnering cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Data teams
• Strong communication skills and the ability to operate effectively in ambiguity
• Ability to collaborate in person at the Toronto hub on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Bonus Points

• Experience with experimentation platforms and A/B testing frameworks
• Experience with feature flagging systems
• Experience using analytics tools to evaluate product outcomes
• Experience building internal tooling that improves product velocity or experimentation workflows

AI-First Expectations

• Measure and improve the effectiveness of AI-enabled workflows
• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive work and improve engineering efficiency
• Share best practices and help teammates improve their use of AI tooling
• Contribute to a culture of experimentation and continuous learning
