Description


Toast is recruiting on behalf of this company, a well-established AI-focused startup, to advance cutting-edge sensor integrations, real-time data processing, and data-fusion algorithms. As the Senior Software Developer, you will join a small, collaborative scrum team that values technical excellence, flexibility, and continuous learning. The role is remote-friendly (with generous relocation support for those who prefer Kelowna, BC) and offers the autonomy to design a workday that suits your life.

 

Key Responsibilities


  • Design, develop, and maintain production-quality C++ (11–20) and Python (3.10+) code for sensor, vision, and streaming systems.

  • Refine and extend DevSecOps / MLOps pipelines to support rapid, secure delivery of AI solutions.

  • Optimize GPU-accelerated media pipelines (GStreamer, FFmpeg, DeepStream, CUDA) for embedded NVIDIA Jetson platforms.

  • Contribute to system-level architecture decisions, ensuring robust networking and distributed-system performance.

  • Document technical designs and mentor teammates in best practices that balance rigour with business impact.

  • Champion inclusive collaboration by sharing knowledge openly and valuing diverse perspectives.

     

Requirements


  • 8+ years professional software-development experience, including modern C++ and Python.

  • Hands-on expertise with embedded Linux (NVIDIA Jetson / L4T), computer-vision, and soft real-time systems.

  • Proven track record delivering secure, maintainable code in small, multidisciplinary teams.

  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker / containerd) in dev and production.

  • Strong grasp of networking in distributed environments; GPU programming experience is an asset.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related field.

  • Ability to satisfy Canadian High-Level Security Clearance requirements (citizenship/permanent-resident status, Canadian residency for 10 years, travel and dual-citizenship disclosures).

     

Benefits


  • Salary CAD $119 000 – $135 000 plus a 10% “Okanagan Relocation Top-Up” for employees who move to Kelowna.

  • Six weeks fully flexible paid vacation (5 weeks + 1 week during the December holidays).

  • Flexible hours and remote-work options—including support for school drop-offs, appointments, and caregiver responsibilities.

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage starting on day one.

  • Annual training & professional-development budget.

  • Quarterly company-paid travel to Kelowna for remote staff and an additional CAD $6000 yearly travel stipend to use as you choose.

  • An inclusive culture that explicitly supports women in tech through equitable pay, schedule autonomy, and mentorship opportunities.
