Sr Full Stack Developers
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 26, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 23, 2026.
Our client is seeking senior software engineers who will join as the 2nd and 3rd full-time employees in their growing Toronto engineering hub. The venture spun out of research on corporate commuting at Stanford and the CEO has over a decade of experience innovating in the transportation technology space in varied global contexts. With an oversubscribed seed round in Q1 2024 and a rapidly expanding user base, it’s time to accelerate the product roadmap and harden the platform for scale.
Their product enables employers to craft commuter benefit programs without the corresponding back-office overhead typical of outdated incumbent solutions. They offer commuters an app-based, gamified, user-friendly mobility solution that reduces commuting costs, enables novel, multi-modal commuting options, and promotes active, open-air commutes.
This is an early-stage engineering opportunity with a team at the forefront of transportation and mobility innovation. The environment will be dynamic, fast-paced, and offer significant growth opportunities. The role comes with 2 thematic responsibilities:
Individual technical contributions: Developing production-grade backend, frontend, and infrastructure systems. Leading architecture and systems design decisions. Ensuring site reliability and scalability.
Technical leadership: Conducting code reviews and providing technical feedback. Mentoring and supporting engineering team members. Participating in the recruitment and selection process for the growing team.
Our client prioritizes both core/transferable engineering skills and specific experience with the existing stack when hiring. The tech stack is presently:
Backend: Python/Django REST framework (DRF), Redis, PostgreSQL
Frontend: React/React Native, Redux, TypeScript
Infrastructure: AWS, Heroku
Containers: Docker
The role will be remote-first and distributed until the team establishes their workspace in downtown Toronto, at which time it will become a hybrid role requiring 2 days/week in the office.
