One of Canada’s Most Trusted Investment Brands.

At Picton Mahoney Asset Management (PICTON Investments), being alternative isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.

Founded by industry pioneer David Picton, we’ve spent 20 years challenging conventional wisdom and redefining the investing landscape. As one of Canada’s most trusted investment brands, we are proudly independent—privately run, 100% employee-owned, and deeply committed to delivering results for our clients.

Thinking Alternatively is in Our DNA. 

With a team of 207 bold thinkers—one-third dedicated solely to investment management—we are specialists, not generalists. Managing $16.6 billion (as of December 31, 2025) for institutional and retail clients, we navigate markets with conviction, resilience, and a forward-thinking approach.

We’re more than investors — we’re innovators. We challenge traditional investment mindsets, constantly pushing the boundaries to achieve our mission: To bring greater certainty to investors. 

Our success is built on four guiding principles:

• Treat investors’ money like our own.
• Redefine the way investors invest.
• Be human—always approachable.
• Succeed together, one investment at a time.

These aren’t just words—they define how we think, how we invest, and how we work. 

Now, we’re entering our next chapter. We’re transforming our brand and reshaping the way the world invests. If you think alternatively, embrace an entrepreneurial spirit, and thrive in a dynamic, bureaucracy-free environment, join us and be part of what’s next.

Thriving in Our Entrepreneurial Culture

At PICTON Investments, you’ll thrive in our creative and dynamic workplace, where collaboration and support are at the core of everything we do. At our firm, you’ll have the opportunity to take on significant responsibilities, work in a flexible environment, and tackle challenging projects from the outset. Our culture is designed for ambitious professionals who want to make an immediate impact while continuing to push boundaries and achieve our greater mission. You’ll be empowered with a high level of responsibility, trust, and flexibility, providing an exciting and creative space for you to help reshape how the world views alternative investments. With competitive total rewards, performance-based bonuses, and a clear path for career growth, you’ll have everything you need to develop both now and over the longer term.

The Opportunity

PICTON Investments is currently seeking a Senior Full Stack Developer who builds software end-to-end. You’ll design and deliver cloud-native systems that power analytics, reporting, and investment workflows, while ensuring the user experience is intuitive, responsive, and built to scale.

We value engineers who think long-term, challenge assumptions, and take accountability for outcomes- not just code.

The expected annual base salary for this role is $110,000 – $130,000, with the final number depending on your experience, skills, and education. On top of that, you’ll be eligible for our discretionary bonus program.

At PICTON, being employee-owned means we take care of our team and offer opportunities for top performers to participate in our equity ownership program over time. Eligible employees get access to a full benefits package, including profit sharing, health and wellness coverage, life and disability insurance, paid time off and holidays, learning and development programs, and more, many of which are fully covered or subsidized by us.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work across the stack to help design, build, and evolve modern web applications that support core business workflows.

• Build and maintain backend services and APIs that are scalable, reliable, and easy to evolve over time.
• Develop applications using modern backend frameworks (e.g., .NET, Node.js), applying clean, pragmatic engineering practices.
• Build user-facing features with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js), collaborating closely with design and product partners.
• Turn product ideas and designs into thoughtful, accessible user interfaces using modern HTML, CSS, and design systems.
• Work cross-functionally with product, design, data, and platform teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
• Integrate applications with cloud services, with an emphasis on performance, security, and scalability.
• Contribute to engineering best practices such as CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and operational reliability.
• Participate in architectural discussions, code reviews, and technical planning, offering thoughtful input and learning from others.
• Take ownership of features from idea through production, balancing delivery speed with long-term maintainability.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a full-stack engineer who enjoys solving problems across the frontend and backend and working collaboratively with others.

• Strong experience building and shipping production software.
• Experience designing and implementing APIs and backend services.
• Experience building backend services using modern frameworks (e.g., .NET, Node.js).
• Experience building frontend applications using modern frameworks (e.g., React, Next.js).
• A good understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS fundamentals.
• Experience working in a cloud environment (Azure experience is a plus, not a requirement).
• Comfort integrating frontend applications with RESTful APIs, JSON data, and common authentication patterns.
• Familiarity with modern development workflows, including CI/CD and automated testing.
• Ability to translate business requirements into clear, maintainable technical solutions.
• A collaborative working style grounded in ownership, clear communication, and high standards.
