Job Description
About the role

We are building an AI-centric engineering platform where brands operate as self-reliant, B2B-style customers. You will own product features end-to-end across the full stack - leveraging AI agents to multiply delivery throughput - while architecting robust, highly-available systems on a stable, brand-agnostic platform.

This is a full-time IN-OFFICE position in Vaughan.

What you will do

  • Own delivery of product features end-to-end: design, build, verify against acceptance criteria, and ship to production.
  • Build and operate 3rd-party and B2B integrations on the platform, delivering brand- and customer-specific features on top of a shared core.
  • Use AI coding agents and automated verification to accelerate delivery, working within engineering quality gates and independent review.
  • Set technical patterns and unblock yourself and others across a fast-moving, multi-workstream environment.


Requirements

Must-haves - technical
  • Full-stack, production-grade. Senior/staff experience building software end-to-end: .NET / C# REST APIs and Next.js / React front-ends with server-side rendering and real-time streaming (Server-Sent Events).
  • Architecture at scale. Proven design and operation of highly-available, high-throughput systems.
  • Data. Hands-on with MongoDB, Redis (sessions, caching, sorted-set/leaderboard patterns) and PostgreSQL; chooses the right store per workload.
  • Event-driven systems. Building producers/consumers on an event hub / Apache Kafka; event-schema design and real-time aggregations.
  • 3rd-party and B2B integrations. Designing and delivering integrations against external and game-provider APIs, and building brand-/customer-specific capabilities on a stable, brand-agnostic platform.
  • API security. OAuth-based auth, request signing (HMAC), idempotency, replay protection, and audit logging.
  • AI-assisted delivery. Demonstrated use of AI coding agents/tooling to multiply throughput, and fluency working within automated verification (testing against acceptance criteria, regression, edge cases).
  • Hands-on production monitoring. Operating production monitoring and issue triage (Sentry or equivalent); treats observability and CI/CD as part of "done."
  • Experience with containerization using Docker, including writing Dockerfiles, building images, and working with a container registry.
  • Experience deploying and operating containerized workloads on Kubernetes, including deployments, services, config and secrets, health probes, and resource limits.
  • Experience with networking fundamentals - DNS, TLS, HTTP, load balancing, and reverse proxies - and troubleshooting requests end-to-end across distributed systems.
  • Experience with a public cloud platform (Azure preferred), including compute, identity and access management, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience owning features end-to-end, from ambiguous requirements through deployment and production support.
  • Experience with a CDN or edge platform (Cloudflare preferred) and diagnosing edge-versus-origin failures.
  • Experience with observability tooling (Grafana, Loki, Sentry) and production incident analysis.
  • Demonstrated ability to learn unfamiliar technologies quickly, with strong ownership and attention to detail.


Must-haves - delivery & ownership

  • Proven track record of delivering robust solutions within tight, fixed timeframes - quality and speed together, not one at the expense of the other.
  • Handles competing priorities across multiple workstreams without dropping commitments.
  • End-to-end ownership of deliverables, from an ambiguous problem statement through to production.
  • A can-do operator who embraces uncertainty and figures things out as they go - self-sufficient, decisive with incomplete information, and escalates judiciously rather than by default.


Benefits
  • Exposure to cutting-edge AI and automation technology that is actively transforming how marketing and operations are run at scale
  • Genuinely interesting projects with modern tooling, and the freedom to bring your own ideas to the table
  • A collaborative, high-performance culture where ambition, accountability, and innovation are valued and rewarded
  • Clear paths for development, progression, and advancement as the business scales
  • A competitive salary plus discretionary bonus
  • Comprehensive health benefits, including extended healthcare, dental, and vision coverage.
  • On-site leisure facilities to switch off and recharge during the day.
  • Fantastic company events
  • On-site leisure facilities and on-site parking
