Founding Engineer

Build the future of fundraising at Triple

Job Summary

Triple is the first AI search engine for fundraising. We help universities, hospitals, and charities find the right donors. A fundraiser can search: “Canadian tech leaders worth $10M+ who donated $25K+ to hospitals last year,” and instantly see the best prospects.

To make this possible, we've built a massive dataset of people and a system that uses AI for contextual entity resolution at scale.

We're hiring a Founding Engineer as our first full-time engineering hire. You'll work directly with the CEO to build the core product, make foundational technical decisions, and ship features used by real customers.

This is a full-time role based in Toronto. Salary and equity will be discussed during the interview process.
