IT Engineer

Float is on a mission to simplify finance for Canadian businesses, empowering them to eliminate complexity and unlock new opportunities. Through our innovative platform, Float enables businesses to streamline financial operations and optimize cash flow, so they can focus on what matters most: growth. 

As one of Canada’s fastest growing companies and top-rated startups in 2024 and 2023, Float is customer-obsessed, passionate and entrepreneurial, with a team that includes leaders from Uber, Shopify, Top Hat, TouchBistro, Bill, Stripe, and Ada.

At Float, everyone is an owner, bringing their unique perspective to our team and product. Your voice is important, and we take having a culture based on feedback seriously. We openly share our thoughts and differing opinions so we can continue to improve. We do our best to keep our decision-making decentralized so that all team members feel ownership in our success.

Float is Canada's complete business finance platform, combining modern financial services and software to help businesses spend, save, and grow. Trusted by 6000+ Canadian companies, Float provides high-limit corporate cards, automated expense management, next-day bill payments, high-yield accounts and fast, friendly support—all built in Canada, for Canada. Float is backed by world-class venture and fintech investors, including Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives and OMERS Ventures, partners behind our $70 million Series B raise. 

Our team is a collection of ambitious, collaborative and mission-driven people from all walks of life but with one goal: helping Canadian companies not just survive but thrive. And we’re looking for bold innovators to help shape the future of business finance in Canada.

We use technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to support parts of our hiring process. This may include AI-assisted scheduling and candidate communications, and AI-generated interview notes, guides or summaries to help our team focus on the conversation. All hiring decisions are made by our hiring team.

We’re looking for an IT Engineer to join Float and own the internal systems, workflows, and support operations that keep our teams moving. This role is critical to how Float scales: you’ll support the day-to-day technology experience our employees rely on, while also building the processes, automations, and systems foundations that reduce manual work and improve reliability over time.

This is not a pure help desk seat. You’ll be hands-on in employee support, Mac administration, SaaS tooling, onboarding and offboarding, and access management—but your success will come from how effectively you turn recurring operational work into documented, scalable, increasingly automated systems. You’ll play a key role in helping Float mature its IT function over the next 12 months, especially across workflow automation, process standardization, and internal systems quality.

• Own employee onboarding and offboarding workflows across key systems, with a strong bias toward end-to-end automation and operational reliability

• Administer and improve Float’s core internal tooling, including identity, productivity, MDM, collaboration, and access systems

• Provide onsite and remote support for Mac hardware, software, office systems, and employee productivity issues

• Build and maintain practical automations that reduce manual work, improve consistency, and help the IT function scale

• Partner closely with teams like People and Recruiting to design clear, durable support and provisioning processes

• Document business-critical IT workflows so they are repeatable, understandable, and not dependent on tribal knowledge

• Support office technology, WiFi, and AV systems to ensure a reliable in-office experience

• Collaborate with security and risk partners to strengthen endpoint hygiene, access controls, and operational compliance

• You Put Customers First, Always. You care deeply about the employee experience and understand that internal systems quality affects how well the whole business performs.

• You Act Like an Owner. You do not wait to be told every next step. You take responsibility for outcomes, build structure where it is missing, and move work forward with good judgment.

• You Think Big and Move Fast. You can handle urgent support needs, but you also look for root causes, recurring patterns, and opportunities to automate or redesign how work gets done.

• You Constantly Learn and Grow. You are curious, adaptable, and eager to learn new systems, tools, and ways of working—including AI-enabled workflows that create real leverage.

• You Raise the Bar. You care about clarity, operational quality, and building processes that scale. You do not settle for recurring chaos when a better system can be built.

• You Win as a Team. You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike, build trust across functions, and make it easier for others to do great work.

You’ll likely thrive here if you enjoy turning messy operational realities into cleaner systems, balancing immediate support with longer-term improvement, and working in an environment where ownership and adaptability matter more than hand-holding.

• Years of experience. 5+ years in IT support, systems administration, or internal IT engineering roles, ideally in fast-moving environments where you had meaningful ownership

• Automation and scripting depth. Hands-on experience using scripting or programming languages such as Python to automate internal workflows and reduce manual operational work

• Internal systems range. Strong experience with tools like Google Workspace, Okta, MDM platforms, collaboration tools, and access management systems

• Endpoint and office support. Solid hands-on experience supporting Apple hardware, employee productivity tooling, WiFi, and office technology environments

• Process and systems thinking. A track record of documenting, standardizing, and improving business-critical internal workflows like onboarding, offboarding, and provisioning

• Judgment and communication. Strong stakeholder communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues, trade-offs, and risks in simple, practical language

• AI-enabled working style. Credible examples of using AI in real workflows to improve speed, clarity, troubleshooting, or automation outcomes

• You prefer highly defined tasks and close day-to-day direction over independent ownership

• You enjoy reactive support work but not building systems, documentation, or automation to reduce it

• You are not comfortable working in a hybrid Toronto-based role with regular in-office support expectations

• You struggle to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders or to influence cross-functional process changes

• You are uncomfortable with ambiguity, changing priorities, or wearing multiple hats in a lean environment

• You view AI as optional, theoretical, or not relevant to how modern internal operations should work

• Work at one of Canada's fastest-growing fintech companies

• Make a real impact in a high-autonomy, high-growth role

• Collaborate with an ambitious and supportive team

• Competitive compensation, equity options, and benefits

• Hybrid work model – we are based in Toronto with in-office days for connection and collaboration

• Enjoy catered team lunches every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

• Bring your pup to our dog-friendly office

• Thrive in a high-trust, high-performance culture where your work truly matters

At Float, you’ll thrive if you’re bold, curious, and eager to make a real impact. We're building something special—and having a lot of fun along the way. If you’re excited to build, grow, and win together, we’d love to meet you.

We’re committed to building a workplace that’s welcoming and accessible for everyone. If you need any accommodations during the hiring process or once you join Float, just let us know!
