We're looking for a creative, ambitious full stack developer who is early in their career and ready to jump into a startup at the very early stage. This is the opportunity to build a product from ground zero, in a highly collaborative small team. We don't have all the answers, and you'll be a key part of figuring it out. 

We are venture-backed, and co-founded by repeat entrepreneurs who you'll work directly with as one of the first engineering hires. If your ambition is to eventually build your own startup, there is no better place to learn and grow.

We are building a platform that exists at the intersection of new standards and technologies like OpenAI's AppsSDK, MCP, MCP UI  and the Agentic Commerce Protocol. You need to be incredibly passionate about building AI-native products. You don't need to be an expert, but have the passion and side-projects to demonstrate you want to learn. This will start as an optionally remote or hybrid role, but as the team grows it will transition to hybrid in optionally Toronto or Calgary - we currently have offices in the Yorkville area in Toronto.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Run experiments/prototypes on new standards (AppsSDK, MCP, Agentic Commerce Protocol).
  • Work closely with co-founders, tech team and early users, and iterate fast.
  • Ship features end-to-end across frontend, backend, and data.
  • Build AI-native experiences (LLMs, tools, agents) with strong safety and evals.
  • Design APIs/data models and integrate third-party services.
  • Own infra + CI/CD (Docker/Kubernetes), observability, and performance.
  • Write tests and raise the bar on code quality and security.
  • Share learnings via lightweight docs; help with on-call and post-mortems.

Required Skills:

  • 1-3+ years of experience building front and back-end systems.
  • Ideally, familiarity with some or all of Python/Django, React, Kubernetes, Docker
  • Experience leveraging AI to rapidly deliver code
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Ability to think out of the box
  • Excitement for working in a start-up environment with a high level of ambiguity and change
  • Experience thriving on a small team where you can make a big impact. You are confident in your toolkit and experience, and you also love to pick up new skills and knowledge.

Compensation and Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation
  • Health & Extended Benefits Plan
  • Equity participation through employee stock option grants
  • Flexible vacation policy

Other Job Details:

Experience comes in many forms, many skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way. If the job description gets you pumped but your background isn't exactly what we've described above, or if you strongly believe you bring qualifications beyond what we've outlined that would help you excel in this position, please consider applying.
