Department Overview
At TD, we are transforming how Canadian businesses bank. Our Digital Business Banking team builds and evolves TD’s next-generation platform for Small Business, Commercial, and Corporate clients.
As a Staff Solution Engineer, you will provide hands-on technical leadership for secure, scalable, and resilient digital banking capabilities. You will shape solution direction, guide engineering teams, and help reduce delivery and operational risk across a critical enterprise platform.
What You'll Do
Shape Solution Direction and Technical Strategy
Lead solution design for large-scale digital banking capabilities from concept through delivery and production support.
Translate business goals into secure, scalable, maintainable, and cost-effective technology solutions.
Set technical direction across squads and ensure solutions align with enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, and operational standards.
Provide Hands-On Engineering Leadership
Provide deep technical leadership across modern web, API, microservices, cloud-native, and event-driven architectures.
Review designs, code, integration patterns, and implementation approaches to improve quality, reliability, and maintainability.
Act as a trusted technical advisor to product, architecture, cybersecurity, infrastructure, operations, and delivery partners.
Deliver Reliable Payments and Banking Capabilities
Design and support business-critical capabilities across payments, wire transfers, EFT, bill payments, file transfers, customer servicing, and entitlements.
Improve client and colleague experience by increasing platform stability, reducing incident risk, and supporting faster delivery of priority business outcomes.
Lead complex production investigations, root cause analysis, and long-term remediation for critical customer-facing services.
Advance Platform Reliability and Observability
Strengthen observability, alerting, logging, and service health management across applications, databases, APIs, and integration services.
Drive performance tuning, capacity planning, availability improvements, and resiliency engineering for high-volume banking platforms.
Promote proactive operational practices, including incident prevention, post-incident learning, service-level objectives, and measurable reliability improvements.
Accelerate Modernization and Innovation
Advance modernization through cloud-native platforms, containerization, API-first design, event streaming, automation, and reusable engineering patterns.
Champion DevOps, automated testing, Infrastructure as Code, and AI-assisted development to improve delivery speed and engineering quality.
Identify opportunities to simplify architecture, reduce technical debt, and improve long-term platform sustainability.
Lead Through Influence and Build Engineering Maturity
Mentor engineers and raise the quality of technical design, delivery practices, and production readiness across teams.
Influence decisions across product, architecture, cybersecurity, infrastructure, business, and vendor partners without relying on direct reporting authority.
Create clear technical guidance, reusable patterns, and practical guardrails that help teams deliver consistently and safely.
