Application process:

Click the yellow “Apply” button at the top right of this page to get started. You’ll be asked to upload your resume (no cover letter required) and respond to a few short questions about your experience and approach to the role. You’ll receive a direct link to your application so you can return and edit your responses any time before submitting.

Once the posting closes, we’ll review responses using a de-biased sift process: all answers are anonymized, randomized, and scored by multiple team members. We also screen for inappropriate use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT), and candidates whose responses appear to be AI-generated may not move forward.

To help us understand the diversity of our applicant pool, we ask for optional demographic information. These responses are confidential, not linked to your application, and will not be seen by the hiring team.

If your responses rank in the top 10–20% of applicants, we’ll review your resume. While we value your background, we place greater emphasis on your answers to the sift questions than on your formal credentials.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an in-person interview at our Toronto office (virtual accommodations available). Finalists will complete a technical assessment and participate in a second interview. Before making an offer, we’ll connect with your professional references to learn more about your working style and contributions.

We aim to complete the process within six weeks of the posting close date. Regardless of the outcome, you’ll hear back from us once the process is complete. Thanks for your interest in joining TAF!
