Job Description:

Department Overview

At TD, we are transforming how Canadian businesses bank. Our Digital Business Banking team builds and evolves TD’s next-generation platform for Small Business, Commercial, and Corporate clients.

As a Staff Solution Engineer, you will provide hands-on technical leadership for secure, scalable, and resilient digital banking capabilities. You will shape solution direction, guide engineering teams, and help reduce delivery and operational risk across a critical enterprise platform.

What You'll Do

Shape Solution Direction and Technical Strategy

• Lead solution design for large-scale digital banking capabilities from concept through delivery and production support.

• Translate business goals into secure, scalable, maintainable, and cost-effective technology solutions.

• Set technical direction across squads and ensure solutions align with enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, and operational standards.

Provide Hands-On Engineering Leadership

• Provide deep technical leadership across modern web, API, microservices, cloud-native, and event-driven architectures.

• Review designs, code, integration patterns, and implementation approaches to improve quality, reliability, and maintainability.

• Act as a trusted technical advisor to product, architecture, cybersecurity, infrastructure, operations, and delivery partners.

Deliver Reliable Payments and Banking Capabilities

• Design and support business-critical capabilities across payments, wire transfers, EFT, bill payments, file transfers, customer servicing, and entitlements.

• Improve client and colleague experience by increasing platform stability, reducing incident risk, and supporting faster delivery of priority business outcomes.

• Lead complex production investigations, root cause analysis, and long-term remediation for critical customer-facing services.

Advance Platform Reliability and Observability

• Strengthen observability, alerting, logging, and service health management across applications, databases, APIs, and integration services.

• Drive performance tuning, capacity planning, availability improvements, and resiliency engineering for high-volume banking platforms.

• Promote proactive operational practices, including incident prevention, post-incident learning, service-level objectives, and measurable reliability improvements.

Accelerate Modernization and Innovation

• Advance modernization through cloud-native platforms, containerization, API-first design, event streaming, automation, and reusable engineering patterns.

• Champion DevOps, automated testing, Infrastructure as Code, and AI-assisted development to improve delivery speed and engineering quality.

• Identify opportunities to simplify architecture, reduce technical debt, and improve long-term platform sustainability.

Lead Through Influence and Build Engineering Maturity

• Mentor engineers and raise the quality of technical design, delivery practices, and production readiness across teams.

• Influence decisions across product, architecture, cybersecurity, infrastructure, business, and vendor partners without relying on direct reporting authority.

• Create clear technical guidance, reusable patterns, and practical guardrails that help teams deliver consistently and safely.
