Croesus provides innovative, high-performance, and secure wealth management solutions that include portfolio management systems, portfolio rebalancing tools, and application programming interfaces (APIs). These solutions empower wealth management professionals to improve their productivity, enhance their client relationships, make informed decisions, and maximize the management of their assets under management. Croesus’s mission is to provide a superior experience to its clients, users, partners, and employees and to positively impact the community.

With more than 200 employees in its Montréal, Toronto, and Geneva offices, Croesus has won several industry awards for being a high-quality solution provider and an outstanding employer. Croesus is building the next generation of wealth management software the way a startup would: small teams, short loops, real ownership, with the trust and reach of the incumbent behind us. The Innovation team is where the company experiments.

We take the hardest, least-defined bets, prototype them, and put them in front of real customers to find out what's real. Some of those bets are AI-native. What's constant is that we're operating before there's a defined product, a defined customer, or a defined metric, and we're comfortable there.

Not someone who runs a process, but someone who sets the technical bar by being the best engineer in the room, and who is genuinely obsessed with how valuable software gets built. If you look at a slow, handoff-heavy way of building software and can't stop yourself from redesigning it in your head, keep reading. Set the technical bar, and go deep where it counts (approx half your time) You're the technical center of gravity for the team.

You own the architecture of what we build, across AI-native products and conventional platform work alike,



and you make the hard build-vs-buy and design calls. You lead by raising the ceiling, not by writing every line.

Reinvent how the Innovation team builds: the AI-powered SDLC (approx a third of your time) Your job is to make the Innovation team ship dramatically faster at the same quality by pushing AI and automation through how we work day to day: spec, CI/CD, testing, observability, tooling. If something ships faster, we use it. You'll define what agentic development actually means in practice within the team and strip out the manual steps and dependencies that slow us down. you're the one discovering the better way of building, not the one running the company-wide rollout.

This is about how we build, so it applies to everything we do, AI product or not. You directly lead our innovation developers and researchers: their growth, their focus, their delivery. With research specifically, your job is to push the work past interesting: framing it so experiments actually reach real customers and teach us something.

You handle the manager basics without letting them crowd out the engineering, because the engineering is why you're here. You've architected and shipped non-trivial systems, and you can still go all the way down into the code when the problem earns it. Comfort across our stack, not just one corner of it: C# / .NET (.NET Core, REST/WebAPI) on the backend, TypeScript with Angular (our standard) and React (common on the Innovation side)



on the frontend, and Python for the AI/ML work (RAG, agentic workflows, LangGraph, MCP-based tool integration).

You are AI-native in how you think and build. LLMs, agent frameworks, AI coding tools, evals: these are part of how you work, not a track you context-switch into. This holds whether the product you're building is "an AI product" or not.

A genuine point of view on the development lifecycle itself (CI/CD, testing, observability, developer tooling) and on how AI is rewriting it. You frame the problem, make the call with what you have, and iterate. Comfortable working in a bilingual (French/English) environment.

You've already made at least one concrete improvement to how we build (a slow loop removed, a tool introduced, a workflow rethought), and you've become the person the team routes its hardest technical calls to. The team ships noticeably faster with no drop in quality, and the technical bar on what we put in front of customers is visibly higher. The research work is landing with customers, not sitting in a findings doc.

AI is part of the toolkit; And we build in a regulated industry, so security and reliability are part of the craft here, not a gate someone else owns at the end. Your calls matter, and you'll see them in front of customers fast. À la carte vacations ~ Annual salary + Corporate profit-sharing plan ~ Hybrid work, 2 days a week in office (Laval & Montreal offices) ~ Sports program ~ Gym available at our Laval head office ~ Telemedicine + group insurance (super useful for the family ) ~ Proximity to Montmorency & Mcgill metro ~ Ongoing training and development plan ~ Referral bonus ~ Indoor and outdoor parking & electric car recharging ~ Beautifully renovated and spacious office ~
