Role Overview
You would write the software that makes Mazlite's sensors work: the cloud services behind them, the interfaces people use to read them, the computer vision and machine learning applied to the data they produce, and the integration with the PLCs and industrial controllers they sit beside. It is the uncommon software job where the thing you ship ends up running on a factory floor.
This is a hybrid technical leadership role. You would own projects end to end, shape the architecture, and mentor the developers around you, reporting directly to Mazlite's co-founder and CTO.
The salary band is published below, along with four weeks of vacation from your first year and a yearly equity award in the company share ownership plan.
Key Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end development of software projects, from design to deployment
Architect and build scalable systems across cloud, front-end, and backend environments
Contribute to industrial automation solutions, including PLC-integrated systems
Optimize components related to computer vision, machine learning, data processing, data transfer, and other critical pipelines
Develop and drive comprehensive testing and quality control strategies and systems
Mentor and support junior developers through code reviews, guidance, and best practices
Manage project timelines, priorities, and technical direction
Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and stakeholders
Ensure security, reliability, and performance across all systems
Help define and maintain development standards and system architecture
Requirements
5+ years of professional software development experience
Strong understanding of software architecture and system design
Experience across several of these:
Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or similar)
Front-end frameworks (Angular, React, or similar)
Backend languages (C++, Python, Rust, or similar)
Deployment pipelines and DevOps practices
Containerization (Docker, or similar)
Linux-based operating systems
Experience with performance tuning, memory management, or optimizing high-throughput systems
Solid grasp of security principles and best practices
Experience mentoring or leading other developers
Strong problem-solving and communication skills
Canadian citizenship or permanent residency (see "Why this role requires Canadian citizenship or permanent residency" below)
If you meet most of this but not all of it, apply anyway. We would rather read your application and decide than have you decide for us.

Nice to Have
Familiarity with industrial automation, PLC systems, and robot programming
Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (OPC UA, MQTT, MODBUS, etc.)
Experience integrating software with hardware or industrial systems, such as industrial cameras or custom circuitry
Experience developing and deploying machine learning models
Knowledge of networking, embedded systems, or IoT
Background in high-reliability or real-time systems
An existing Government of Canada security clearance, or having held one
Work Environment
Hybrid role based in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)
Mix of remote work and on-site collaboration depending on project needs
Why Join Mazlite?
Your code runs on hardware in working plants, not only in a browser
The team is small enough that the architecture you choose is the architecture that ships
The work spans cleared defence programs and commercial manufacturing, which is a combination very few software roles offer
You report to the co-founder and CTO, so a technical decision does not travel far to get made

Why this role requires Canadian citizenship or permanent residency
This is a bona fide occupational requirement for this role, not a preference. Two things drive it: part of the work is carried out under an NRC IRAP grant, whose terms set this condition, and part of it is performed under security clearance for United States Department of War and Canadian military programs, which cannot be granted to someone who is not eligible to hold that clearance.
We ask about status for that reason and no other. The answer is read by a person, is never used to score or rank an application, and goes no further than the shortlist presented to Mazlite. If you are unsure whether you qualify, apply and say so - the question is there to start a conversation, not to end one.
Compensation and Benefits
CAD 130,000 to 140,000 a year
A yearly equity award in the company employee share ownership plan (ESOP)
Four weeks of vacation, starting in your first year
Unlimited sick days. The policy is that you do not come to work when you are sick
Travel opportunities, for those who want them
