Our products are trusted by buy-side and sell-side institutions worldwide, and we are actively investing in our technology and data platforms to build new revenue-generating solutions powered by open-source, big data, cloud, and emerging AI capabilities. You will join a collaborative, globally distributed engineering team that values technical rigour, pragmatic decision-making, and delivering measurable impact — working a hybrid schedule of 2 days per week from our Toronto office, with flexibility for the remainder of the week.

- Design, develop, and optimise PostgreSQL schemas and SQL solutions to support complex, data-intensive financial requirements.
- Lead technical design reviews and architectural decisions, translating intricate financial-risk business requirements into well-structured, maintainable engineering plans — collaborating with product managers and risk specialists across functions.
- Drive engineering excellence by establishing and evolving practices in testing, code review, CI/CD, observability, and secure development; mentor engineers and shape platform-wide standards.
- Apply emerging technologies, including agentic AI and AI-enabled tooling, to improve engineering productivity through code generation, automated testing, documentation, and workflow automation.
