Location: St. Thomas, Ontario (In-House)
Position Type: Full-Time
Primary Tech Stack: PHP, MySQL, Laravel, Vue.js, WooCommerce
Our View on AI (and Why You’ll Still Matter A Lot)
AI is changing how software gets built, and we’re leaning in hard. Over the next two years, boilerplate code will be churned out by models, freeing talented engineers like you to do the fun, high-impact work that machines can’t.
At TagsforHope, we’re makers first. We design and manufacture our own products, write the software that powers our factory, and even connect that code to custom hardware on the production floor. In other words, we don’t just spin up another storefront, we invent the tools that run it.
That’s why AI won’t replace you here at TagforHope. Instead, you’ll wield AI as a co-pilot to:
-
Prototype faster: Use generative models to scaffold features in hours, not weeks.
-
Automate the tangible: Blend code with firmware and robotics that drive a lights-out manufacturing line.
-
Elevate UX: Let AI handle the routine while you craft delightful, highly personalized customer journeys.
If you’re excited to push what’s possible, writing the code that teaches machines how to make things, we want to meet you. Come help us build the factory of the future (and save some animals while you’re at it).
