Intermediate Full Stack Engineer

High velocity, high intensity, high trust, high bar, high impact, and a will to win.

FutureFit AI could be the right next step in your career journey if reading those words resonates deeply with you, full stop. You live and lead with humility, pursue audacious goals, and are motivated by having a meaningful and positive impact on the people and the world around you.

First, an important note: Data shows that men on average apply for a role if they meet 3/10 requirements while women often only do so if it’s 10/10. We work hard to be clear and specific about what our roles include and demand and encourage you to apply if you see a strong (but not necessarily perfect) fit between you and the opportunity.

We’re looking for an Intermediate Full Stack Software Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you'll work across the stack to build scalable, secure, and user-centric web applications.

You’ll contribute to product development from design to deployment, collaborating with designers, product managers, and other engineers to solve meaningful problems. This is a hands-on development role with real ownership over services, infrastructure, and technical decisions.

• 3+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining production-grade web applications.

• Advanced proficiency in React (with hooks, functional components, and state management patterns like Context or Redux).

• Strong backend development experience with Node.js using modern JavaScript (ES6+) or TypeScript.

• Solid database experience with both MongoDB (document modeling, aggregation pipelines) and PostgreSQL (joins, indexes, query optimization).

• Comfortable with writing tests (unit, integration, and/or E2E) and maintaining test coverage.

• Authorization to work in Canada without sponsorship.

• Bonus: Hands-on experience deploying and managing applications in AWS, including but not limited to:

  • ECS or Lambda for compute

  • S3, CloudWatch, IAM, and Secrets Manager

• Bonus: Proficient with Git-based workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable web applications using React on the frontend and Node.js on the backend.

• Build and maintain RESTful or GraphQL APIs, with efficient data access patterns using MongoDB and PostgreSQL.

• Collaborate with product managers and designers to translate user needs into technical solutions with clean, maintainable code.

• Participate in code reviews to uphold engineering quality and share knowledge with peers.

• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure reliability and regression safety.

• Troubleshoot production issues and participate in root cause analysis and resolution.

• Contribute to improving team workflows, documentation, and development practices.

• Stay current with relevant technologies and advocate for appropriate adoption where it adds value.

Your alma mater isn’t our focus. Your grit, hunger, and drive are. If you’re one who learns continuously, tackles challenges head-on, and knows your strengths and gaps intimately, you’re our person.

• Work directly with the founding team

• Unlimited PTO

• Healthcare

• Career development budget

• Technology reimbursement

• Flexible schedules built on trust

We are open to remote candidates based in Canada, with a preference for Toronto where the majority of our engineering team is located. Interested applicants must have authorization to work in Canada without sponsorship.

We place a high value on weekly face-to-face collaboration and team building. While we don't expect you to be in office every day, the general expectation for Toronto-based team members is to come to office 2x/week. Our office is conveniently located at 325 Front St West (a short walk from Union Station).

The base salary range for this role is $120,000 - $140,000 CAD. It is variable based on applied experience and other factors identified by the hiring committee.

At FutureFit AI, we believe in designing intentional and rigorous hiring journeys to help you determine if this is the best role and organization for you, based on your unique skills, mindset, and experiences. We operate at high velocity with high intensity and want an accurate taste of what that feels like before you get through the door.

Every hiring journey at FutureFit AI consists of thoughtfully crafted steps including a performance challenge and rounds of interviews with team members. For this role, that might look like:

1. Online Application

2. Initial Screen with CTO

3. Algorithmic Coding Challenge (live on call)

4. Technical Design Challenge (live on call)

5. Final 1:1 Interview

6. Final Decision

This process generally takes around 4 weeks but may vary based on candidate availability.

In looking at a job posting, it’s often hard to get a basic picture of the company profile (size, stage, structure, etc.) which is why we are sharing it with you upfront. This helps you quickly decide and helps us focus any time we spend together on going beyond the basics:

1. Problem Domain: Future of Work / Workforce Development - important that the problem domain interests you even if you haven’t worked in the space before.

2. Industry: SaaS / AI - technology and data are at the core of what we build. 

3. Customers: We partner with workforce development agencies, government agencies, and employers/enterprises.

4. Structure: We are organized around the following key departments: Growth, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, Data, People & Culture, Finance & Operations.

5. Team: We are a team of 30-50 across US and Canada with main hubs in New York and Toronto. 

6. Funding: We built the company from 0 to 1 with no external capital (a rare feat for tech startups) and have subsequently raised one round of funding led by JP Morgan which fueled a significant growth trajectory for us.
