Old Toronto, Canada Float Financial Solutions Inc. Full time
About Float Financial Solutions Inc.

At Float Financial Solutions Inc., we're on a mission to revolutionize the way businesses manage their finances. Our innovative platform empowers Canadian businesses to simplify their financial operations, unlock new opportunities, and focus on growth.

Our Product

Float is Canada's first finance platform designed to provide fast, flexible, and accessible financial solutions for businesses. Our integrated suite of products – including corporate cards, bill pay, reimbursements, and financial services – rethinks how companies access capital, streamline spending, and manage growth. Backed by world-class investors like Tiger Global, Golden Ventures, and Susa Ventures, we're disrupting the global B2B finance space.

About the Chief Innovation Officer Role

We're seeking an exceptional Chief Innovation Officer to lead our engineering team in building the best corporate card and spend management platform in Canada. As a key member of our leadership team, you'll have complete ownership of your area and be responsible for delivering against our product roadmap.

As our Chief Innovation Officer:

  • You will split your time between being a key hands-on contributor (which includes developing new features, maintaining and improving existing systems, and participating in design and code reviews), delivering against Float's product roadmap, and leading a team of talented engineers.
  • You'll own end-to-end engineering delivery outcomes for your product vertical, overseeing the product development process, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery of new features and improvements and partnering with others to prioritize and address technical challenges.
  • You'll represent engineering for your area of the product in all key meetings, collaborating with key stakeholders, including our co-founders, customers, and internal partners, to understand their needs, gather feedback, and incorporate it into the product roadmap and development process as appropriate.
  • You'll ensure the technical integrity of the product, code quality, and adherence to best practices. You'll be involved in coding, reviewing, debugging, and troubleshooting.
  • You'll gain a deep understanding of our customers and their challenges through our customer discovery stages and translate that knowledge into our product roadmap and technical design.
  • You'll be responsible for your product vertical's customer experience, quality and product development.
  • You'll help to recruit, develop and retain amazing talent to Float.

Your Week-to-Week Looks Like:

  • You'll lead a team of engineers through the product development lifecycle.
  • You'll ship high-quality code to production in an iterative fashion while meeting key product deadlines.
  • You'll work with your team to design high-throughput and stable systems.
  • You'll talk to customers to understand their needs.
  • You'll identify, analyze, and mitigate risks that could affect project timelines or product quality.
  • You'll develop, implement, and refine engineering processes and practices to improve efficiency, productivity, and quality.
  • You'll work with the engineering leadership team to scale Float's organization.

You'll Be Great in This Role If:

  • You've got the experience. To be successful in this role, we're looking for 7-10+ years of B2B SaaS, startup experience. Experience with business payments, banking, and finance is a bonus. You've led an engineering team at a growing startup, have experienced the growing pains of scaling a product and growing an engineering team, and want to join another early-stage company to do it all again.
  • You have previous experience leading teams of engineers, and partnering with product managers, product designers, product ops, data analysts, etc.
  • You care about the details with a strong data-driven metrics approach.
  • No stranger to an Agile environment, you've managed product boards, prioritized engineering decisions, and understand software concepts, backend systems, and API specs.
  • You love the craft of shipping software and take pride in the outcome.
  • You are ready to roll-up your sleeves to get building and want to see your technical design in our product.
  • You have an understanding of how long it takes to get a technical idea into a product and know who to work with and how to get it implemented – you are comfortable with overseeing all aspects of a project.

This Role Won't Be a Fit If:

  • You don't want to be in a player-coach role.
  • You are not a self-starter and do not like to work independently.
  • You aren't obsessed with your craft.
  • You don't like ambiguity.
  • You don't like regular feedback on your work.
  • You are uncomfortable with direct feedback.
  • You prefer stability over change.
  • You aren't comfortable ruthlessly prioritizing.
  • You don't like to work remotely or asynchronously.
  • You don't have a very strong work ethic.
  • You aren't a team player.
  • You aren't resilient.
  • You have an ego.
  • You aren't super passionate about helping Float build the best corporate card and spend management platform in Canada.

Perks of Working at Float:

  • Competitive compensation & total rewards: $160,000 - $200,000 per year, based on experience.
  • Small team = lots of autonomy to make an impact.
  • Opportunity to work with and learn from a world-class team.
  • A personal Float card with a monthly stipend to spend on what matters most to you.
  • A dog-friendly office.
  • Being able to say you helped build Canada's best corporate card and spend management platform.
