About Forum:

Delivering Extraordinary Outcomes™ through Investment.

Forum Asset Management is a North American investor, developer, and asset manager with a 30+ year track record of delivering long-term value through real estate, private equity, and infrastructure investments. We are a purpose-driven firm committed to sustainability, responsible investing, and making a positive impact in the communities where we invest.

With over $4 billion in AUM, Forum is one of Canada's most dynamic investment platforms. In 2024, we completed the country’s largest real estate transaction through our acquisition of Alignvest Student Housing, making us the largest owner and developer of Purpose-Built Student Accommodations (PBSA) in Canada. Our open-ended Real Estate Income and Impact Fund (REIIF) is now over $2.9 billion, backed by a $4.0 billion+ development pipeline that spans coast to coast.

Forum is also building one of the fastest-growing self-storage platforms in Canada, focused on acquiring, developing, and operating institutional-grade storage facilities in undersupplied urban markets.

Forum is a values-led, high-performance organization. We embrace agility and innovation, and we strive to foster a team culture grounded in integrity, collaboration, humility, and results.

Position Overview:

We are seeking two (2) Full Stack Developers to join our tech team and build the applications and agentic systems that teams across Forum run on.



This role owns the entire development journey from design to deployment — you’ll build reliable and scalable systems that play a key role in shaping Forum’s operational strategies.

Reporting to the Tech Team Lead, you’ll join a lean, high-output tech team, working directly with data engineers to turn Microsoft Fabric-hosted data into production-grade tools used by business teams across a $3.9B investment platform. This is a hands-on, in-office role with high visibility. You’ll act as a trusted advisor and technical authority, and support Forum’s commitment to firm-wide AI adoption by collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to design enterprise-grade AI systems that drive measurable business value. Forum is large and financially solid, and set for rapid growth across the firm and its platform companies: startup pace with institutional stakes.

Key Duties and Responsibilities:

- Design and develop full stack web applications, dashboards, and tools that solve complex business problems.
- Build robust and performant agentic systems and LLM-powered solutions that connect with our enterprise data platform and third-party APIs, including embedded access controls and guardrails.
- Use AI-native development workflows — agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) and MCP-connected agents — as your default toolchain.




- Collaborate with data engineers to consume structured and unstructured datasets and surface meaningful insights in user-facing tools.
- Partner with business teams to rethink established processes and introduce AI-native approaches (e.g., agentic skills and workflow automation).
- Own code quality end-to-end: testing, deployment, debugging, and documentation.

Candidate Profile:

- 2–3+ years of full stack software development experience with a track record of shipping enterprise-scale AI solutions.
- Proficient in JavaScript/TypeScript and Python.
- Hands‑on experience developing and deploying agentic AI systems in a production workplace.
- Demonstrated fluency with AI-assisted coding workflows (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor).
- Strong knowledge of REST APIs, relational and non‑relational databases, and cloud platforms (Azure preferred).
- Proof of pace: you have personally shipped through a high‑tempo period — a peak season, a launch, a major event — and can show what you built and what it produced.
- An entrepreneurial builder mentality: you ship fast, take ownership end-to-end, and are comfortable turning loosely defined problems into reliable, scalable solutions.
- Excellent communication skills: you can convey complex technical insights to non-technical stakeholders.
- Work experience in the real estate, private equity, or asset management industry is a plus.

Culture and Pace at Forum:
