About

The Role
This is an entry level position where you will have the opportunity to learn and grow from our amazing team while working on some very cool AI projects. Insight Canada is building the best professional services practice in the country, and we’re looking for an AI Software Engineer I who loves to code and learn fast. You’ll contribute to building data-intensive services, ML/GenAI features, and reliable pipelines—primarily in Python, SQL, C#, and Scala—under the mentorship of senior engineers.

You’ll ship real solutions: writing Spark jobs, standing up APIs, integrating vector search, and wiring CI/CD so your code reaches production safely.

If you enjoy turning ambiguous requirements into clean, well-tested software—and want to grow quickly by pairing with experienced teammates—this role is for you.

Code data pipelines & jobs:
Implement and maintain ETL/ELT tasks in PySpark/Scala/SQL on Lakehouse platforms (e.g., Microsoft Fabric, Databricks) using Delta/Parquet best practices.

Contribute to AI features:
Package and expose model inference endpoints in Python (FastAPI) or C# (ASP.NET); add unit/integration tests and basic performance checks.

GenAI & RAG building blocks:
Add embeddings, vector indexes (e.g., Azure AI Search), prompt templates, and guardrails to support retrieval-augmented generation under guidance.

APIs & integrations:
Build and document REST endpoints; integrate with events/queues (Service Bus/Event Hubs/Kafka) and storage services.

Be AmbITious:
This opportunity is not just about what you do today but also about where you can go tomorrow. When you bring your hunger, heart, and harmony to Insight, your potential will be met with continuous opportunities to upskill, earn promotions, and elevate your career.

What We’re Looking For

0–2 years of professional experience (co-op/internships and strong personal projects count).

Proficiency in Python and SQL; working knowledge of C# or Scala (willingness to learn the other).

Exposure to Spark (PySpark/Scala) or notebook-based development; familiarity with Microsoft Fabric or Databricks is a plus.

Practical Git skills (branches, PRs, code reviews) and experience with Docker and basic CI/CD.

What You Can Expect
We’re legendary for taking care of you, your family and helping you engage with your local community. We want you to enjoy a full, meaningful life and own your career e of our benefits include:

Freedom to work from another location—even an international destination—for up to 30 consecutive calendar days per year.

But what really sets us apart are our core values of Hunger, Heart, and Harmony, which guide everything we do, from building relationships with teammates, partners, and clients to making a positive impact in our communities.

Join us today, your ambITious journey starts here.
