The roleWe are working on some of the hardest problems in enterprise automation, with an engineering team that includes staff-level talent from Robinhood, Glean, Google, Netflix, and Meta. The system handles high-volume financial data and complex accounting workflows, and every execution has to be accurate and reliable, because the output is a company's books.
This is a general engineering role in our Toronto office, and general is the point: the work will vary and span the stack. You will also have a real hand in defining the culture and charter of the Toronto engineering team.
What you'll do- Work across the stack; the scope is general and will vary with what the product needs
- Help define the culture and charters of the Toronto office
What we're looking for- 2 or more years building product at high-growth companies
- Familiarity with web development, relational databases, and distributed systems
- Experience with TypeScript, React, Redux, or similar frameworks
- Cares deeply about culture
Nice to have- Experience with data pipelines, mission-critical systems such as fintech, or complex workflow engines
Where and how you'll workThis role is based in our downtown Toronto office, near Union Station. We value in-person collaboration and are in office four to five days a week for our on-site roles.
Why join Maxima- The work. Agentic accounting is a category being defined right now, and Maxima is one of the companies defining it. The product does the accounting work itself, so what you build, sell, or deploy shows up in a customer's books
- The people. Founders who ran the finance org at Rubrik and built the close systems at Twitter and Netflix. Engineers from Robinhood, Glean, Google, Netflix, and Meta. Controllers and accountants on the team who have closed books themselves. Small teams in San Mateo and Toronto that work in the same room, say what they think, and hold a high bar
- The benefits. Competitive salary, 401(k) for US employees, unlimited PTO, lunch in the office, and commuter benefits
- The process. A person reads every application, and we tell you where you stand at every stage
