Founded in Montreal in 2018, nesto is a leading Canadian fintech company on a mission to offer a positive, empowering, and transparent property financing experience. What started as a digital mortgage broker has quickly evolved into Canada's leading direct‑to‑consumer (D2C) online lending platform. Through Nesto Cloud, our B2B, cloud‑native, end‑to‑end mortgage technology platform, we empower financial institutions, credit unions, and commercial real‑estate lenders with intelligent automation, real‑time compliance, and seamless integrations across the full lending lifecycle. Together, nesto and CMLS Financial form the Nesto Group, Canada's leading provider of mortgage technology and financing solutions, managing over $73 billion CAD in residential and commercial mortgages with 1,300+ team members across 12 offices nationwide.
Work Location
This role is open to candidates anywhere in Canada, with a preference for those in the EST time zone. Due to the nature of the role, this team participates in an on‑call rotation. This is a remote position, with the option to work from any of our offices across the country.
Why We Are Hiring
We’re building a new service delivery team to support major B2B partnerships – this is a ground‑floor opportunity to join a team of 3, building the function from scratch, reporting to the Director of Service Delivery. Over the next several months, the team will design and build the framework, tooling, and processes that our service runs on – everything from incident and change management to SLA reporting – before we go live. This is a build‑then‑operate role. The early months are about creating the playbook from scratch; once we go live, the team shifts into running and refining what we’ve built. This is for people who’d rather build the system than inherit one. Our current tech stack includes Datadog, Atlassian (Jira/Confluence), incident.io, and GCP.
What You’ll Be Doing
Build and execute the operational framework for incident management, change management, and SLA reporting – the structure our service runs on
Develop problem management practices as patterns emerge from incident management, so recurring issues get solved at the root
Own SLA reporting end‑to‑end – from data pipeline design to the monthly report that lands in front of enterprise partners
Act as the operational face of nesto to enterprise partners – running incident bridges, presenting SLA reports, defending change decisions
Use AI as a core part of how you work – drafting runbooks, analyzing incident patterns, generating reports, building internal tooling. We expect this to be a force multiplier, not an occasional aid.
Participate in an on‑call rotation to keep the service reliable
What Success Looks Like
By our launch milestone: The incident management, change management, and SLA reporting frameworks are built, documented, and validated with our launch partner. You've run tabletop exercises and dry runs, and the team is ready to operate under contractual SLAs from day one.
6 Months Post‑Go‑Live: We’re running the operation you built, refining it with real incident and change data. Problem management practices are emerging from patterns. You’re presenting monthly SLA reports to enterprise partners with confidence.
What You Bring
8+ years of relevant experience , with at least 3 years specifically in service delivery
Hands‑on expertise across incident, change, and problem management, plus SLA reporting – you’ve owned these, not just participated
Experience operating under a contractual SLA with financial penalties – not just internal targets
A balance of technical depth (SRE‑style) and process design – you can read a system architecture diagram and write the runbook for it
Client‑facing SaaS experience – comfortable presenting to, negotiating with, and pushing back on enterprise customers
Strong, assertive communication – you can hold the line in a difficult client conversation without escalating it
Nice‑to‑Have
Experience in a regulated, compliance‑heavy industry (banking, fintech, insurance, healthcare).
Familiarity with our stack: Datadog, Atlassian suite, incident.io
Background in SRE, sysadmin, technical account management, or business analysis.
Track record of using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, custom agents) to ship operational work faster – not just experimentation
ITIL certification or equivalent grounding in service management framework
Bilingual in French and English
This Role Might Be for You If
You're energized by building service delivery processes from scratch and thrive when there's no playbook to follow.
You're highly organized and process‑oriented, and you know how to turn contracts and frameworks into reliable, repeatable operations
You stay steady and adaptable when scope is still taking shape and things need to be figured out as you go
You work independently and take ownership – you don't need someone checking in every two hours
You bring a design‑minded approach to building recent solutions
You Shouldn't Apply If
You need a fully defined, stable environment to do your best work – this role is about building from the ground up
You prefer to operate within an existing system rather than create one
You're uncomfortable being the operational face of nesto in front of enterprise customers, including during incidents
You see AI tools as optional or experimental rather than core to how modern service delivery gets done
What We Offer
Comprehensive Health Coverage: Top‑tier extended health, dental, and vision coverage, featuring 100% drug coverage.
Health & Wellness Spending Account: A $1,500 combined annual flex fund for things like gym memberships or extra medical needs.
Generous Paid Time Off: 4 weeks of vacation plus 8 personal floater days.
Retirement Savings: Access to a group RRSP/DPSP plan featuring competitive company‑matching contributions.
Telemedicine Services: Access via Dialogue and coverage for licensed practitioner services.
