Position Overview:
We are looking for a Senior Java Developer to join our team in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) on a hybrid basis. This role focuses heavily on backend architecture and feature development using Java and Spring Boot (accounting for roughly 80-90% of your time). For the remaining 10-20%, you will jump into the frontend with React and TypeScript to help us ship complete, end-to-end features. Operating on Toronto time, you will work on a document-heavy application utilized across web, mobile, and Microsoft Office apps, as well as by our integration partners. Your day-to-day will involve building robust public and internal REST APIs, optimizing core document workflows, and integrating practical AI features powered by AWS-hosted Large Language Models (LLMs).
Key Responsibilities:
API Development: Design, build, and maintain stable, scalable public and internal REST APIs using Java and Spring Boot across web, mobile, and MS Office platforms.
Core Systems: Own and evolve service features managing complex document handling, access permissions, notifications, and real-time data syncs.
AI Integration: Contribute to our AI roadmap by connecting document workflows with intelligent searches, conversational chat assistants, and automated insights leveraging LLMs on AWS.
Full-Stack Coverage: Develop and refresh UI components in React and TypeScript whenever full-stack feature delivery calls for it.
Workflow Automation: Incorporate practical AI tools into your daily workflow to handle repetitive tasks-from boilerplate and test generation to internal processes-and share what works with the team.
Code Quality & Delivery: Write clean, automated tests, engage in thoughtful peer code reviews, and ship production-ready code through our CI/CD pipelines across development, staging, and production environments.
Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate directly with Product, QA, and other developers to spot potential constraints early and map out well-scoped, secure features.
Required Qualifications:
Experience: 3+ years of professional software development experience, with Java as your primary, go-to language.
Backend Ecosystems: Hands-on experience building out production-grade REST APIs within the Spring Boot framework (including Spring Security, Maven, or equivalents).
Frontend Foundations: Working knowledge of React and TypeScript-enough to comfortably build, alter, or debug user-facing screens without needing hands-on guidance.
Databases: Solid experience working with MongoDB or equivalent NoSQL / SQL database management systems.
AI Tooling: Familiarity with AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) or experience working directly with LLM API integrations.
Engineering Practices: Clear understanding of Git branching workflows, code review etiquette, automated testing strategies, and modern CI/CD pipelines.
Collaboration: A proactive communication style-you raise roadblocks early, actively propose architecture adjustments, and enjoy helping teammates solve complex problems.
Communication: Full professional fluency in written and spoken English.
Location & Schedule: Based in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and fully comfortable working a hybrid schedule matching the Toronto (Eastern) time zone.
Why Join Us?
Impactful Work: Build real-world AI capabilities on top of large language models and enjoy the freedom to use advanced developer productivity tools daily.
Transparent Compensation: A straightforward salary structure accompanied by performance-tied bonuses.
Continuous Learning: Access to dedicated budgets for external courses/conferences, structured internal training, and technical workshops.
Hybrid Flexibility: A healthy balance of remote work flexibility and in-person team collaboration in the GTA, with flexible core working hours.
Comprehensive Benefits: Robust health insurance plans along with 20 days of paid time off (PTO) annually.
North American Scale: Direct exposure and collaboration with fast-paced, product-led companies across the continent.
