ABOUT FLOAT Float is on a mission to simplify finance for Canadian businesses, empowering them to eliminate complexity and unlock new opportunities. Through our innovative platform, Float enables businesses to streamline financial operations and optimize cash flow, so they can focus on what matters most: growth. As one of Canada’s fastest growing companies theglobeandmail.com and top-rated startups in 2025 linkedin.com, 2024 linkedin.com and 2023 lnkd.in, Float is customer-obsessed, passionate and entrepreneurial, with a team that includes leaders from Uber, Stripe, Shopify, Top Hat, Ada, Doordash, Snowflake, and Wealthsimple. At Float, everyone is an owner, bringing their unique perspective to our team and product. Your voice is important, and we take having a culture based on feedback seriously. We openly share our thoughts and differing opinions so we can continue to improve. We do our best to keep our decision-making decentralized so that all team members feel ownership in our success. OUR PRODUCT Float is Canada’s intelligent financial operating system, combining modern financial services and software to help businesses spend, save, and grow. Trusted by more than 10,000 Canadian companies, Float provides high-limit corporate cards, automated expense management, next-day bill payments, high-yield accounts, and industry-leading support, all built in Canada, for Canada. Float recently announced our $85 million Series C floatfinancial.com, and is backed by world-class investors, including Inovia Capital, Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, OMERS Ventures, and Silicon Valley Bank. Our team is a collection of ambitious, collaborative and mission-driven people from all walks of life but with one goal: helping Canadian companies not just survive but thrive. And we’re looking for bold innovators to help shape the future of business finance in Canada. AI USE IN OUR HIRING PROCESS We use technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to support parts of our hiring process. This may include AI-assisted scheduling and candidate communications, and AI-generated interview notes, guides or summaries to help our team focus on the conversation. All hiring decisions are made by our hiring team. ABOUT THE ROLE This role sits on one of Float’s product-focused engineering squads, responsible for building end-to-end experiences used daily by thousands of Canadian businesses. You’ll work across the stack to deliver intuitive, reliable, and scalable product features that directly impact customers’ financial workflows. We are hiring across multiple levels for this role. Our interview process is designed to evaluate candidates objectively based on scope, judgment, and learning velocity, and we will level accordingly. As Float continues to grow, there are meaningful opportunities to expand ownership, deepen technical impact, and take on broader responsibility regardless of starting level. This role is well-suited for developers who enjoy product thinking, end-to-end ownership, and balancing speed with quality in a high-autonomy environment. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING - Build and evolve end-to-end product features across backend, frontend, and APIs. - Partner closely with Product and Design to deliver simple, intuitive user experiences. - Translate customer needs into thoughtful technical solutions that scale. - Make principled trade-offs between speed, quality, and long-term maintainability. - Own features in production, including iteration, reliability, and improvement over time. - Contribute to shared standards, tooling, and practices that raise engineering quality. - Work within a small, empowered squad with clear ownership over a product vertical. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE (6–12 MONTHS) - You ship meaningful product features that are used and valued by customers. - Your work improves the clarity, usability, or reliability of core product flows. - You take ownership of a meaningful slice of the product and execute with confidence. - You collaborate effectively across Product, Design, and Engineering. - Your judgment and execution raise the bar for your squad and peers. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR - Experience building full stack product features in a modern web environment. - Comfort working across backend, frontend, and APIs (depth may vary by individual). - Strong product and customer intuition — you care about what you’re building and why. - Ownership mindset for features in production. - Curiosity, adaptability, and a desire to keep improving your craft. - Bonus: experience with Python/Django, TypeScript/React, AWS, or fintech products. OUR HIRING PHILOSOPHY We hire for character, curiosity, and learning velocity before credentials. Titles matter less than impact, and growth is expected as scope and ownership increase. WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN - Work at one of Canada's fastest-growing fintech companies - Make a real impact in a high-autonomy, high-growth role - Collaborate with an ambitious and supportive team - Competitive compensation, equity options, and benefits - Hybrid work model – we are based in Toronto with in-office days for connection and collaboration - Enjoy catered team lunches every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - Bring your pup to our dog-friendly office - Thrive in a high-trust, high-performance culture where your work truly matters IN SHORT At Float, you’ll thrive if you’re bold, curious, and eager to make a real impact. We're building something special—and having a lot of fun along the way. If you’re excited to build, grow, and win together, we’d love to meet you. We’re committed to building a workplace that’s welcoming and accessible for everyone. If you need any accommodations during the hiring process or once you join Float, just let us know!
