Staff Software Engineer

We're hiring a Staff Software Engineer to be a technical leader across our entire platform. In this role, you'll set architectural direction, mentor engineers, and build critical systems yourself - from our core ledger and money movement infrastructure to the product features that customers interact with daily.

This role is a hybrid role at our downtown Toronto office (Bay and Bloor).

Why We Exist

Small businesses have been underserved by traditional banks. Most businesses operate globally, yet moving money across borders is still painfully hard. Banking fees are opaque, while the process and time to send or receive money internationally is decades old. The tools offered to businesses are only suitable for companies with finance and treasury teams of 20. Loop exists to change that.

We're building the banking infrastructure for businesses that operate globally by default. Multi-currency accounts. Seamless international payments. Modern systems to manage company finances. The things that should have existed years ago.

* Lead architectural decisions across the full platform - backend, frontend, infrastructure * Build end-to-end features while setting technical direction for the team * Architect our core ledger, money movement systems, and customer-facing product * Partner with product and leadership to shape technical strategy * Make technical decisions that balance innovation with reliability * Own resolution of complex technical issues across the stack * Mentor engineers and raise the bar for technical excellence * Stay hands-on - you'll write code, not just draw diagrams
