Senior Software Engineer: Agentic AI & Distributed Systems (Remote)

iTMethods Inc.; Canada; Hybrid; CAD 110,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

iTmethods is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for the Reign engineering team, embracing AI governance for regulated enterprises. This remote Canada-based role focuses on delivering end-to-end software from design through merged code and shaping architectures that solve complex problems.

You will work with distributed systems, design for testability and observability, and leverage AI coding agents to plan, call tools, and act with limited supervision in production.

Qualifications

• You deliver against goals and measure outcomes rather than output.
• You maintain design patterns and keep the codebase consistent as it grows.
• You work on architecture design from proposal to agreement.
• You design for testability and observability in production.
• You have built and operated distributed systems and understand trade-offs.
• You use AI coding agents as a core part of your work and can explain what they got wrong.
• You recognize code patterns and understand how architecture drifts over time and what it takes to correct it.

Responsibilities

• Deliver the goals the team defines, end to end, from design through merged code.
• Propose and design systems that solve problems.
• Build agentic LLM systems, where models plan, call tools, and act with limited supervision, and make them safe to run in production.
• Work with the team on architecture design. Read the decisions, challenge them where you see a problem, and write your own when the work needs one.
• Review the work of other engineers and of AI agents, and ask for the same on yours.
• Participate in the planning and execution of software roadmaps.
• Communicate progress and the current state of work clearly throughout the development lifecycle.
