Internal Tools Developer

Our client is a fast-growing, VC-backed tech startup based in Winnipeg — a Y Combinator alumni and one of the fastest-growing companies in Canada. They've built proprietary AI and computer vision technology that watches live TV and automatically delivers contextually-aware commercials, content, and games to bars and restaurants across North America. With a team of ~80–90 people in Winnipeg and a rapidly expanding partner network, they're looking to sharpen the sales infrastructure behind the growth.

The role

This is a unique position sitting at the intersection of software engineering, process improvement, and product thinking. You'll embed directly with internal teams to understand how they work, identify where they're slowing down, and build the tools and automations that unblock them — solo, start to finish, with real ownership.

This role has clear growth opportunities. If you want visible, tangible impact and hate being handed tickets, this is the role.

Example projects you'd work on

• Lead generation scrapers targeting specific venue types for the sales team

• LLM-powered email triage tools that identify common inbound questions and surface templated responses

• Partner onboarding automations to help account managers get new partners up and running faster

• Internal dashboards and reporting tools that teams actually use

What you'll do

• Embed with internal teams to understand workflows, surface inefficiencies, and identify automation opportunities

• Scope, design, and build custom software solutions that make teams faster and more effective

• Integrate solutions with AI/LLM tooling, external APIs, CRMs, and internal platforms

• Manage your own project timelines and set realistic expectations with stakeholders

• Continuously evaluate available tools — AI, automation platforms, data management — to find best-fit solutions

• Maintain solutions that are secure, performant, and built to scale

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of software development experience with a track record of building and shipping real tools — we care more about what you've built than how long you've been building

• Self-starter with an ownership mentality — you identify problems before you're asked to and see projects through without being managed

• Strong product and analytical thinking — able to translate messy, undefined problems into clear scoped solutions

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; comfortable running discovery sessions with non-technical teams

• Hands-on experience integrating with APIs, CRMs, and third-party services

• Familiarity with AI/LLM tooling (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain) — you know what's out there and when it's the right tool for the job

• Broad technical knowledge — you know when to build vs. when to buy

Nice to haves

• Experience with automation platforms (Zapier, Make, n8n)

• Familiarity with CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot)

• Experience with web scraping, data pipelines, or workflow automation tools

• Background in business operations, sales, or customer success workflows

• Experience building internal dashboards or admin tooling

Stack

• JavaScript / TypeScript / React

• AI/LLM APIs

• Salesforce / HubSpot integrations

• Zapier / Make / n8n

• AWS (S3, CloudFront)

• Firebase

• Bash / scripting

They are pretty tool/tech agnostic — you will ultimately decide what's best for the job.

• 100% employer-covered health benefits

• Flex-time & unlimited vacation

• Catered lunches 3x/week
