Full-Stack Software Engineer - AI-First Development Team
TempStars \| Mississauga, ON \| Hybrid (1-2 days in-office)
This Is a Bleeding-Edge AI Engineering Role
We're not experimenting with AI coding tools—we're living in them. Our CEO builds sophisticated AI-powered systems daily using Cursor, Claude Code, and cutting-edge tools. We're looking for someone who wants to push boundaries together, not someone who needs convincing.
About Us
TempStars is Canada's leading digital marketplace connecting dental offices with dental professionals for temporary staffing and permanent hiring. Think "Uber for dental temping" combined with a specialized job board. We're lean, profitable, and sustainable—your code ships and matters.
What Makes This Different
We're practitioners, not tourists—leadership writes code daily with AI tools
We're on the frontier: autonomous agents, intelligent workflows, AI-powered analytics
You'll collaborate with engineers as deep into AI development as you are
Exploration is expected—trying new tools and sharing discoveries is part of the job
Responsibilities

Who This Isn't For
If you prefer to "just code it yourself"—we're all-in on AI-augmented development
If you're skeptical AI tools are ready—we're already shipping production code with them
If you accept AI output without critical review—we need engineers who evaluate and improve
