Job Description

SRED.io is redefining how companies fund innovation.

We’re a fast-growing startup building a cutting-edge, AI-powered platform that helps Canadian businesses unlock SR&ED funding for their most ambitious tech and scientific projects. By combining advanced NLP technology with deep expertise from top-tier SR&ED professionals, we’re transforming a traditionally complex, documentation-heavy process into a seamless, intelligent experience.

Our mission is simple: eliminate the friction of SR&ED claims so companies can focus on what matters most — building, experimenting, and pushing innovation forward.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Lead the design, development, and delivery of scalable product features in a fast-moving startup environment.
  • Take ownership of technical decisions, architecture, and engineering best practices across the platform.
  • Mentor and support developers through code reviews, collaboration, and hands-on technical leadership.
  • Work closely with founders, product, and design teams to turn business needs into practical technical solutions.
  • Drive product execution from concept to deployment, balancing speed, quality, and long-term scalability.
  • Help shape and evolve the engineering culture as we continue to grow.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 7+ years of software development experience, including experience in a Senior or Lead Developer capacity.
  • Strong computer science fundamentals and the ability to solve problems with both technical depth and practical common sense.
  • Proven experience building and scaling products within startups or smaller tech companies where ownership and adaptability are essential.
  • Experience leading projects, mentoring developers, and driving technical initiatives end-to-end.
  • Tech stack flexibility — we value strong engineering fundamentals and adaptability over experience with a specific framework, our current stack is MEAN stack.
  • Comfortable working hands-on across different parts of the stack when needed.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in a small, high-performing team.
  • Self-driven, pragmatic, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities.

Why SRED.io?

  • Impactful Work: Help businesses access critical funding and innovation opportunities, making a real difference for companies across Canada.

  • Growth Opportunities: As we scale, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for personal and professional growth. At SRED.io, we believe in promoting from within!

  • Innovative Product: Work with cutting-edge AI and NLP technology that’s reshaping an entire industry. Be part of a company that’s changing the game.
