Dayforce is delivered as a software-as-a-service solution targeted at organizations and HR teams.

📋 Description

• Own the hardest technical problems in our consumer-facing product – setting the bar for how code ships, how architecture decisions get made, and how AI-augmented engineering works in a regulated environment. • Product performance and reliability – own architectural decisions that move latency, uptime, and client-facing quality metrics. • Technical direction for AI-augmented engineering – define tools, workflows, standards for AI-generated code, and how productivity is measured. • Engineering craft and release safety – testing standards and observability practices that let the team ship weekly in a SOC 2 environment. • Cross-cutting problem solving – shared abstractions, state management, platform tech debt, resolved without stalling delivery. • Team capability and growth – mentorship, design feedback, and code review that raises the ceiling of what the team can do. • Product partnership – pressure-test requirements before they become expensive commitments; advocate for technical quality as a driver of client experience.

🎯 Requirements

• Significant experience building consumer-facing software at scale, with architectural judgment from systems that serve real users under real load. • Full-stack depth – you move between frontend, backend, and infrastructure when the problem demands it. • Experience in a regulated industry (financial services, healthcare, or similar) – SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance as part of engineering quality, not friction. • Track record of leading technical decisions: writing RFCs, driving alignment, knowing when to push for consensus vs. make the call. • Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) and a formed perspective on how they change team dynamics. • Experience governing AI-generated code quality in production – you’ve thought about when AI output is good enough and when human craft is required. • Experience mentoring senior engineers; your leverage at this level is as much about team capability as your own code. • You think in systems – understanding how technical decisions ripple through product quality and end-user experience. • Degree in CS/Software Engineering or equivalent practical depth.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation including equity program. • Comprehensive group health and dental benefits and life insurance at little to no cost to you. • Lifestyle Spending Account for all your wellness needs. • Flexible paid time-off policy with unlimited vacation days, and flexible sick and mental health days. • Paid parental leave for eligible employees with a top-up. • Generous Group RRSP matching and an optional TFSA program. • Training opportunities and tuition support year-round.
