Software Engineer, Full-Stack Applications – AI Innovation Teams
Location: Toronto
Fitch Ratings is seeking a Software Engineer to join our new AI Innovation teams in Toronto—where we're building the AI-powered platforms and applications that will transform financial analysis. This isn't about maintaining legacy systems or making incremental improvements. This is about being part of building what comes next: intelligent applications, full-stack platforms that seamlessly integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities, and user experiences that will fundamentally change how Ratings analysts work and how Fitch delivers insights to global financial markets.
We're at a defining moment. Fitch is making a major strategic bet on AI, investing heavily in Toronto as our innovation center, and we're building teams that combine exceptional full-stack engineers with world-class ML engineers.
