Original job description

About Netlight

Netlight is an award-winning tech consulting firm dedicated to transforming the world's most ambitious digital companies. We believe that lasting impact comes from shared expertise, which is why we've built a culture where our 2,000+ consultants actively collaborate, learn from one another, and grow together. Every Netlighter benefits from personalized mentorship, dedicated coaching, and access to our collective knowledge. We've created a network where trust, accountability, and diverse perspectives thrive, where challenging work fuels both professional development and meaningful relationships. Our success isn't just measured in client outcomes, but in how we grow as individuals and as a firm. At Netlight, personal growth and organizational growth are inseparable. Every consultant shapes our culture and, in turn, is shaped by it.

About the Role

As a Software Engineering Consultant at Netlight, you will join a collaborative, ambitious, and mutually supportive environment where you define your own journey. You’ll partner with industry-leading clients to solve real business challenges, tackle a variety of technical domains, and grow alongside a brand-new Toronto team.

A Day in the Life at Netlight

As a Software Engineer on our team, you will:

Design and build robust, scalable software systems in close collaboration with engineers, product managers, and designers.
Own the end-to-end lifecycle of software development, from system design and implementation to testing, deployment, and monitoring.
Develop high-quality, scalable solutions for complex challenges across distributed systems, APIs, data, and user-facing applications.
Use and build with AI day-to-day - from AI-assisted coding to designing and shipping AI-powered features - to move faster and deliver more value to clients.

What Makes Netlight Different

At Netlight, instead of predefined roles, we tailor positions to fit individuals. On the basis of your experience, strengths, interests and market demand; You take charge of your career path by defining the roles you take on with a variety of clients.
Netlight is a highly engaged network organisation where you engage with peers, seniors, mentors, coaches, EDGE networks, and social circles.
We build solutions across diverse domains- backend, frontend, cloud, mobile, data engineering, infrastructure, product, UX/UI, and more.
We have a flat organizational structure with no traditional bosses. We foster collaboration, autonomy, and shared responsibility, empowering everyone to contribute and shape their own career path.

Qualifications we are looking for

Bachelor’s degree in engineering or equivalent.
1-4 years’ experience in software engineering.
Fluent in English (spoken and written).
Based in Toronto; this is a 100% in-person role.

Curiosity about multiple industries and technologies.
Tech agnostic mindset with proficiency and experience in: C++, Java (Spring Boot), Python (FastAPI, Django), Cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), SQL.
Proficiency with using and building with AI: comfortable working with AI coding assistants/agents, and experience integrating AI or LLM capabilities into products.
Strong Communication Skills.

We offer

The unique opportunity to be part of building a local company and leading the development of an emerging Netlight office: driving the growth of one of our 15 offices further. This is the opportunity to engage in a perfect sweet spot between a scale-up and an established company
Competence development is core and realized through a culture of knowledge sharing, feedback, professional coaching and mentorship
