The posting

We’re looking for our next Team Lead, Software Engineering - 12 month contract. Could It Be You? We are hiring a hands-on Team Lead to lead the engineers of one squad — coordinating the development, improvement, and delivery of full-stack solutions, owning a specific system within the squad's portfolio, and reinforcing SDLC health. You will stay close to the code while growing people, setting technical direction within your domain, and partnering with People & Culture (P&C) on people processes. Need more details? Keep reading…  

Technical delivery: Bring deep, senior-level full-stack expertise; stay involved in code reviews, architectural design, development/QA, and troubleshooting and production support alongside the team.

Mentorship & tech: Provide direct technical mentorship, stay current on industry trends, and evaluate new technologies that benefit the team.

Ownership: Make sensible day-to-day technical decisions within agreed standards; own a specific system or feature area and keep the team's development process running smoothly.

Vision & communication: Operate with clear purpose; identify and collaborate with stakeholders; explain complex topics to technical and non-technical audiences; write clear documentation.

People & culture: Build an engaged, inclusive team; give timely, constructive feedback; own performance reviews, hiring, and career development in partnership with P&C.

Governance: Ensure your team's adherence to policies and standards, suggest squad-level process improvements, and collaborate with governance teams within your domain.

AI expectations

AI-assisted workflow: Use AI coding assistants/agents fluently and coach the team to do so safely; treat review of AI-generated code as a larger effort than writing it, keeping humans accountable for what ships.

Standards & guardrails: Set and enforce code-review standards for AI-generated code as a control layer; ensure it meets the same security/quality bar, aligned with secure-dev practices and Questrade IT/cyber policies.

Capability building: Prioritize AI fluency, systems thinking, and output-evaluation judgment when developing and hiring engineers; adapt practices as tooling evolves.

  So are YOU our next Team Lead, Software Engineering? You are if you…

Senior-level, hands-on full-stack experience with deep expertise in at least one core stack, plus a track record of mentorship, code review, and design contribution.

Experience leading or coordinating delivery within a squad; strong communication and sound judgment on localized technology decisions.

Fluency with AI-assisted development and the judgment to review, evaluate, and govern AI-generated code.

A people-first mindset and comfort partnering with P&C on performance, hiring, and development, and with IT/cyber governance on policy adherence.

Nice to have: prior formal people-leadership experience and background in regulated financial services or a compliance-sensitive domain.

  Compensation Information:

Base salary range: $120,000 to $145,000

The final compensation package will be commensurate with the successful candidate's experience, skills, and geographic location (Canada).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
