Senior AI Developer

The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Senior AI Developer who can shape and ship production AI systems—and bring a team along with them. You’ll set the technical direction for the shared components and platform capabilities that underpin our AI-driven products. This isn’t a hands-off architecture role. You’ll own the hard problems: the orchestration patterns that hold up under real-world load, the developer experience that lets your teammates move fast with confidence, and the engineering vision that turns ambiguous requirements into concrete systems.

If you’ve delivered real agentic systems to production, you know the gap between a working prototype and something a team can operate reliably. You’ve closed that gap before. You’re ready to do it again—and help others do it too.

What You’ll Do

Platform Ownership:
Own the architecture and evolution of the shared components, libraries, and platform capabilities the whole AI team builds on. Set the bar for reliability, testability, and developer experience—not as a reviewer, but as the person who ships it.

Delivery Systems:
Design and build the CI/CD patterns, deployment pipelines, observability tooling, and developer workflows that make shipping agents to production predictable and repeatable. Fast teams need good rails.

AI Tooling Leadership:
Lead the team on AI tooling adoption—coding assistants, agentic development workflows, evaluation frameworks. Set the patterns that give teammates real leverage, not just access.

End-to-End Ownership:
Carry work from requirements shaping and solution design through deployment, monitoring, and iteration. Comfortable owning the full SDLC, not just the interesting parts.

Technical Vision:
Articulate a clear engineering direction to your team and stakeholders. Translate ambiguous problems into concrete plans. Build shared understanding across engineering and product so everyone’s rowing the same way.

Mentorship & Growth:
Actively grow the engineers around you. Run technical reviews, establish best practices, and create an environment where the team can move quickly—without constantly second-guessing their decisions.

What You Bring

7+ years of hands‑on software development, with deep proficiency in at least one modern backend or full‑stack language and breadth across the full SDLC.

Strong AWS experience—fluent with Lambda, ECS, S3, RDS, API Gateway, and Cloud Watch; able to design production‑grade cloud‑native architectures that are observable and operationally sound.

Deep grasp of SaaS architecture principles—you design systems others build on top of, and understand the tradeoffs between speed, scalability, and maintainability at each layer.

Proven track record building developer platforms and delivery systems—CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, testing frameworks, and the processes that let teams ship AI features rapidly and safely.

Expert‑level understanding of agentic system design: orchestration, tool use, memory, retrieval, evaluation, and agent‑to‑agent communication—with the judgment to make the right architectural calls under real constraints.

Hands‑on experience with production agentic tooling—orchestration frameworks (Lang Chain, Lang Graph, CrewAI), LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock), vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector), and evaluation/observability platforms (Lang Smith, Prompt Layer).

Demonstrated experience delivering production, client‑facing agentic solutions end‑to‑end—you’ve shipped agents real users depend on, navigated the hard operational problems, and iterated from prototype to stable production.

Strong understanding of database design and data persistence fundamentals (relational or document stores).

Personal Attributes

Clear communicator and technical leader—you can articulate a vision, align a team behind it, and enable others to execute with confidence and autonomy.

Opinionated about engineering quality, but pragmatic about tradeoffs.

Energized by hard problems at the intersection of AI and production systems.

Collaborative by default—you build teams up, not around them.

Location
This position will be hybrid 3x a week in our Oakville, ON office.

Compensation Range
$,300.
