We’re partnering with a leading global financial services organization that is making a significant investment in its Toronto technology hub. We’re looking for senior engineering leaders for two high-impact leadership opportunities spanning enterprise platform modernization and next-generation AI innovation. These roles are ideal for leaders who are still deeply technical and have built, scaled and led strong engineering organizations.
The Opportunities
Depending on your background, you could lead one of two mandates:
Enterprise Platform Modernization
- Lead 4 full-stack engineering teams with 20+ engineers
- Modernize and transform critical, large-scale production platforms
- Balance legacy modernization with greenfield engineering
- Drive adoption of modern cloud, engineering and AI capabilities
- Lead across Java/Python, React and AWS/Azure environments
AI & Engineering Innovation
- Build next-generation AI-enabled products and platforms from the ground up
- Take AI/ML ideas and POCs through to scalable, production-grade systems
- Help shape engineering standards, architecture and technical direction
- Play a key role in building Toronto into a major AI innovation hub
What We’re Looking For
We’re interested in senior engineering leaders who bring:
- Significant experience leading multiple Software Engineering and/or ML Engineering teams- A strong hands-on technical foundation — you understand the technology, not just the delivery
- Experience building and operating complex, production-grade systems at scale
- Strong modern engineering and cloud experience
- Experience with Java and/or Python; React is highly valuable
- For the AI-focused mandate, meaningful experience delivering AI/ML capabilities into production
- A track record of attracting, developing and leading high-performing engineers
- The ability to operate across engineering, product, architecture and senior business stakeholders
We’re particularly interested in hands-on leaders coming from high-scale technology, fintech, financial services or other complex engineering environments.
