Minerva is looking for an exceptional technical entrepreneur to join as a Member of Technical Staff: someone with a combination of business and technical chops to operate with full ownership and autonomy. This role is for a high-agency builder who can own products, systems, customer outcomes, and business initiatives end to end.

You will operate with a high degree of freedom across the full technical stack: platform, backend, frontend, data systems, applied ML, integrations, infrastructure, testing, and customer-facing delivery. We care less about specific languages or frameworks and more about your ability to learn prodigiously, conceive and apply product vision, make sound technical decisions, iterate quickly from concepts into reliable production systems, and turn real customer problems into revenue-generating products.

What you’ll do

You will own entire domains of product and technical initiatives from ambiguity to production. That includes designing architecture, writing and reviewing code, validating systems, integrating with customers, debugging issues, and iterating quickly based on feedback.

You will work directly with customers to understand requirements, support deployments, identify opportunities, and turn operational friction into product improvements. This is a role for someone who wants founder-level scope, not a narrow engineering lane.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for people with gold medal mentality: former or current founders, seed-stage CTOs, founding engineers, or unusually high-caliber builders looking to join a high growth organization and apply a technical founder skillset.





You should have

- A track record of bringing technical products from zero to one and iterating with customers to revenue generation
- Strong full-stack engineering judgment across backend, frontend, data, infrastructure, and applied AI/ML systems
- The ability to come up with technical vision, make independent decisions and own the consequences
- Excellent communication skills with both technical teams and customers
- High grit, urgency, and follow-through
- Strong product and business instincts, not just coding ability
- An experimental mindset and the patience for repeated iterations in the face of failure
- Comfort operating without heavy process, hand-holding, or narrow job boundaries
- Excellent communication and presentation skills in English, fluent in the translation between technical and business speak

Specific languages, frameworks, or toolchains are not the focus. We use the right tools for the problem and expect solid innovators to adapt quickly. A successful member in this role will have versatility across languages, frameworks, patterns, and approaches and apply the right tools for the right circumstances to achieve business objectives.

Compensation and upside

Compensation will include a competitive base salary, equity, and additional bonuses proportionate to the revenue outcomes of owned and successfully delivered business initiatives.

This role is designed for someone who wants meaningful ownership, autonomy, and ROI on their efforts.

Candidates based in the Toronto area will be preferred, with in-office presence 2-3 days per week.
