• Mentor other developers and help define engineering standards in a fast-evolving AI stack
• Drive improvements in performance, reliability, scalability, cost-efficiency, and observability of our AI features
• Lead technical discussions around prompt orchestration, inference infrastructure, and service architecture

What You Bring to the Table

• 6+ years of software development experience, ideally in high-scale SaaS or AI-enabled platforms
• Experience planning and leading technical initiatives that support business goals and empower other developers
• Fluency in modern languages like TypeScript, Python, or Go
• Experience with modern APIs and microservice architectures
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (bonus if it's Google Cloud!), and CI/CD best practices
• Familiarity with AI/LLM tooling and frameworks (e.g., Langchain, vector databases, prompt orchestration)
• Experience working in agile teams, writing clean code, and collaborating across disciplines
• A deep curiosity about AI's potential and a pragmatic mindset for shipping real products that work
• Enthusiasm for helping to build an elite technical team in Saskatoon, with the opportunity to shape it from the ground up
