Software Engineer Jobs in Toronto

100+ software engineer jobs in Toronto from 23 employers. Get referred by a verified employee instead of applying cold.

Who is hiring software engineers in Toronto

RefOpen currently lists 109 live software engineer roles in Toronto, posted by 23 different employers, 57 of them in the last seven days. The companies posting most often right now are Lyft, Robinhood and Capital One. Every one of these is a real opening pulled from the employer's own careers page or an aggregator, not a reposted listing.

What the roles are called

Job titles in this market cluster around Staff Software Engineer, Manager, Systems Engineering, Associate, Software Engineer, New Grad Card Expansion and Senior Staff Software Engineer. Titles vary far more than the work does, so it is worth searching the family rather than one exact phrase: a "Staff Software Engineer" at one company and a "Manager, Systems Engineering" at another are frequently the same job at the same level.

Why a referral matters for software engineer roles in Toronto

Toronto is a competitive market for this function, and with 23 employers hiring at once the same candidates are applying to many of them. A cold application lands in an applicant tracking system alongside hundreds of others and is filtered before a human sees it. A referral is submitted from inside the company, which puts the application in front of a recruiter as a named recommendation rather than another row in a queue.

How to get referred in Toronto

Create a RefOpen profile, find the software engineer role you want in Toronto, and request a referral from a verified employee at that company. You do not need an existing connection there. If nobody takes up your request, the cost is refunded in full, so the downside of asking is nothing.
