Senior Software Engineer, Applied AI

Badger SA | ARC AI

On-site | George, WC

Build AI systems that do more than demo well.

About The Role

ARC AI builds AI agents as products: systems that operate autonomously across business functions, handle real customer interactions, and deliver measurable outcomes in a regulated insurance environment. This is not an experimentation function. We ship.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who has built and operated AI agent systems in production. Someone who knows what it takes to move an agent from prototype to live deployment, and who understands that evaluation, not iteration speed, separates reliable AI products from expensive demos.
