We're seeking a Software Engineer to join our Engineering team, working across the mid to senior range. You'll build the product that helps people get to better jobs faster and cheaper, with a focus on those facing the biggest barriers to opportunity, and you'll own features end to end across our full stack.

You'll join one consolidated engineering team, reporting to an Engineering Manager, and own features end to end rather than working within narrowly segmented frontend or backend roles. We work with high velocity and a high bar, and we trust engineers to make calls and move independently, especially through ambiguity, in unfamiliar parts of the codebase, when requirements are incomplete.

We're hiring across the mid to senior range. If you're mid-level, you'll grow quickly with meaningful ownership from day one. If you're senior, you'll set technical direction, raise the bar on quality, and lift the engineers around you.

This role is hands-on and high-impact from week one. You won't sit on the sidelines learning for a quarter. You'll be shipping early and owning more as you go. Here's roughly what that looks like:

• Strong full-stack experience building and shipping production web applications, roughly 5+ years for senior-level candidates; strong mid-level candidates are also welcome

• Strong, hands-on experience with React and TypeScript

• Professional backend development experience; candidates who are stronger on the backend than the frontend are a particularly good fit here

• Experience with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or another comparable database technology

• Proven ability to take an ambiguous problem and execute with limited direction, owning a feature end to end from design through production

• Comfortable working in unfamiliar domains and independently finding solutions, without constant direction

• Located in Canada or the United States, with Eastern time zone strongly preferred; candidates outside Eastern time should be able to maintain 5 to 6 hours of daily working overlap with the team

• Node.js experience

• Backend-leaning full-stack expertise

• Experience at an early-stage or fast-scaling startup where you wore several hats

• Exposure to data-intensive products, recommendation/matching systems, or AI/ML-backed features

• Interest in workforce development, economic mobility, or other mission-driven work

Your alma mater isn't our focus. Your grit, hunger, and drive are. If you learn continuously, tackle challenges head-on, and know your strengths and gaps intimately, you're our person.

Remote (CA/US). Toronto-based candidates are welcome to work from our office at 325 Front St West if they prefer, but it's optional, not a hybrid requirement. Eastern time zone is strongly preferred; candidates elsewhere should have at least 5 to 6 hours of daily overlap with the team.

Approximately 2-3 trips per year to Toronto for team-building, our August all-hands, and an end-of-year event.

At FutureFit, we use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to make our hiring process more efficient, consistent, and equitable—never to replace human judgment. We use AI in the following ways:

• Screening support: AI may help us compare applications against the skills and experience required for a specific role. These skills are defined by the hiring team for each position. A human reviews each application, with the AI assessment as just one input.

• Interview support: In some interviews, we may use an AI notetaker to summarize the discussion so interviewers can focus on being present in the conversation.

• Insights, not decisions: AI provides data points to support our team’s evaluation but does not make or recommend final hiring decisions. Every hiring decision is made by people.

We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, perform essential job functions, and receive other benefits and privileges of employment. Please contact us to request an accommodation.
