We’re looking for our next Team Lead, Software Engineering - 12 month contract. 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.

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. Provide direct technical mentorship, stay current on industry trends, and evaluate recent technologies that benefit the team.

Ownership: Make sensible day-to-day technical decisions within agreed standards; explain complex topics to technical and non-technical audiences; 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. 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; So are YOU our next Team Lead, Software Engineering? 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. 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.
