Senior Software Developer jobs in Ontario

The Opportunity

We are hiring a Senior Software Developer to take ownership of how MTLI operates internally.

This role is responsible for automating workflows across every department, eliminating inefficiencies, and building a scalable operating system that supports high-volume project execution.

This is a hands-on role first. You will be expected to build systems directly, implement automation, and integrate tools—before growing into a leadership position with a team under you.

3. AI Implementation Across the Business

• Deploy AI tools to:
• Assist with proposal and scope generation
• Automate reporting and documentation
• Improve sales follow-up and communication
• Provide operational insights and dashboards
• Embed AI into daily workflows across teams

4. SOP Development & Standardization

• Convert workflows into repeatable, scalable systems
• Build and document SOPs across all departments
• Ensure consistency across projects, teams, and regions

5. Data & Performance Visibility

• Build dashboards for leadership:
• Revenue and pipeline
• Project performance and margins
• Operational efficiency
• Enable real-time visibility across the business

6. Continuous Improvement

• Identify inefficiencies and fix them quickly
• Test and implement new tools and technologies
• Continuously improve speed, accuracy, and scalability

7. Leadership Growth Path

• Start as a hands-on builder
• Over time:
• Hire and manage automation resources
• Build an internal systems team
• Grow into a true Head/Director-level role
