About the Role

We’re looking for someone to join a dynamic and innovative team to build production‑grade AI systems that help boost velocity across Software Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, and IT Services teams.

• Prototype, build, and own production‑ready (scalable, observable, secure) AI solutions, leveraging leading LLMs and agentic AI platforms.
• Drive adoption of solutions through demos and user training.
• Improve productivity throughout the entire SDLC process with AI solutions, from Requirements and Design phase to Coding and Testing to Deployment and Runtime Operations.
• Improve AI‑driven testing, troubleshooting, incident triaging, root cause analysis, and automation of repetitive workflows with verifiable outcomes.
• Build agentic automation, orchestrate multi‑step workflows that plan tasks, call tools/APIs, and execute autonomously with clear guardrails.
• Implement RAG pipelines, ingest documents, create embeddings, index vectors, retrieve and re‑rank results, and ground outputs with citations.
• Develop system prompts, templates, and structured outputs (e.g., JSON) with versioning and evaluation.
• Set up tracing, relevance/factuality evaluations, and dashboards for cost, latency, and quality metrics.
• Contribute to best practices, patterns, and internal enablement materials.

Core Competencies

• Agent frameworks: Hands‑on experience with frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, ADK, and AgentFlow for scalable agent workflows.
• Experience with designing interfaces, MCP integration, context engineering, long/short memory, planning, and control flows.
• LLM integration: Experience building with Vertex AI/Gemini, AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, and Anthropic APIs.
• Retrieval expertise: Embeddings, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, pgvector), hybrid search, and re‑ranking.
• Observability, caching, batching, and token budgeting for performance.
• SDLC excellence: Strong software engineering practices with AI‑driven design, testing, and CI/CD integration.
• Practical experience with cloud providers, identity/permissions, secrets, reliability, Kubernetes/serverless, message queues, and various common cloud capabilities.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in software engineering, data/ML engineering, or platform engineering; 2+ years building solutions with LLMs.
• Proficiency in Java, Python, and/or TypeScript; experience building production services and integrations.
• Excellent knowledge of cloud platforms (GCP/AWS), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and modern CI/CD.
• Strong communication skills and a product mindset—able to translate operational pain points into robust solutions.
• For candidates located in Quebec, bilingualism is required considering the necessity to interact on a regular basis with English‑speaking colleagues across the country.
• No Canadian work experience required however must be eligible to work in Canada.
