Software Engineer / AI Enabler - Java or TypeScript - Toronto - 220,000 CAD Help Build the Future of AI-Accelerated Engineering We are a leading global e-commerce platform undergoing a major transformation. As AI reshapes how great software is built, we’re creating a new group of engineers who will multiply the impact of entire teams. This role is for hands-on software engineers who love using GenAI tools, shipping real product features, and helping an organisation become truly AI-first. Not research. Not modelling. Real engineering — accelerated by AI. What You’ll Do Build great products, faster • Join a product engineering team and contribute directly to customer-facing systems. • Work across modern stacks such as TypeScript/Node.js/Next.js or Java/Spring Boot, running on AWS/Azure/GCP. • Use GenAI every day to accelerate design, development, debugging, testing, documentation and operations. Create the tools that scale AI across the organisation • Build and evolve AI-powered internal tools (coding assistants, review helpers, documentation agents, testing bots). • Integrate APIs like OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI, Claude into real products and workflows. Act as an engineering multiplier • Coach teams on effective GenAI usage — what works, what doesn’t, and how to use AI safely. • Share patterns, anti-patterns, and best practices across the engineering organisation. • Help shape AI-first standards, playbooks and ways of working. Experiment, learn, improve • Run small, data-informed experiments to validate new tools and workflows. • Measure the impact and turn successful approaches into repeatable standards. What You Bring Deep Software Engineering Capability • 5 years building production systems in large, evolving codebases. • Strong experience with TypeScript/Node.js/Next.js or Java/Spring Boot. • Skilled in writing maintainable, well-tested and well-structured backend or full-stack features. Strong Applied GenAI Experience You’ve used GenAI in real engineering work — not theory, not research: • Daily usage of tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codeium, Replit Agent, ChatGPT for coding. • Built features or internal tools using OpenAI/Anthropic/Azure OpenAI/Vertex AI. • Experience with LLM integration, prompt engineering, RAG, tool/function calling, or AI-powered automation. Mindset & Influence • Curious, growth-oriented, comfortable learning in public. • Strong communicator who can introduce new tools, handle scepticism, and help others level up. • Pragmatic: understands GenAI strengths and limitations, and knows how to apply guardrails (reviews, tests, policies). Why Join Us? • A highly international engineering organisation with 50 nationalities. • Modern offices with collaborative spaces, social areas and flexible working environments. • Hybrid flexibility, relocation support, learning budgets, and a culture that encourages experimentation. • Real influence: your work will shape how hundreds of engineers build software. If you want to help build AI-first engineering at scale, we’d love to speak with you.
