The Opportunity

We are seeking a senior, hands-on Full Stack Lead Developer to support a large-scale CIAM initiative for a major Canadian financial institution. The role sits within a broader technology team delivering secure authentication capabilities for customer-facing and call-centre applications, including functionality connected to a wider agentic AI transformation.
This is a lead role, but it is not a purely managerial position. The successful candidate must be comfortable designing, coding, troubleshooting and improving applications directly, while coordinating approximately three offshore developers and maintaining effective follow-the-sun delivery handoffs.

Key Responsibilities

Design, build and enhance full-stack applications using Java, Spring Boot and Angular.
Develop secure, scalable and maintainable back-end services and front-end experiences for customer and call-centre use cases.
Integrate applications with CIAM services, authentication flows, REST APIs and secured API endpoints.
Troubleshoot issues across development, test and UAT environments, including hands-on diagnosis and code-level remediation.
Use Git and modern software development practices to manage source code, reviews, releases and deployment readiness.
Work with DB2 and related application data components as part of the end-to-end solution.
Provide day-to-day technical direction to offshore developers, review work quality and coordinate effective handoffs.
Collaborate with client technology leads, architects and delivery stakeholders in an Agile environment.
Communicate progress, risks and technical decisions clearly in a client-facing consulting environment.

Required Experience and Skills

Advanced hands-on experience with Java and Spring Boot for enterprise back-end development.
Strong Angular experience building modern single-page or customer-facing applications.
Demonstrated full-stack engineering capability across application design, development, integration and troubleshooting.
Practical experience with Git, REST APIs, API security and modern software delivery practices.
Experience leading or coordinating developers while remaining highly hands-on.
Strong communication skills and confidence working directly with senior client and consulting stakeholders.
Eligibility to work in Canada and ability to attend the Toronto office two days per week.

Preferred Experience

Previous work on CIAM, access management, authentication or authorization initiatives.
Experience with call-centre authentication, out-of-band authentication or customer identity verification journeys.
Banking, financial services or other regulated enterprise experience.
Experience coordinating onshore and offshore teams in a follow-the-sun delivery model.

What Success Looks Like

The candidate contributes production-quality code quickly, resolves issues directly and improves application performance, reliability and security.
Offshore developers receive clear direction and effective handoffs, while client stakeholders see a credible senior engineer and dependable technical lead.
