You are an AI Native Development Lead with experience building cloud-native solutions and deep expertise in designing and deploying agentic systems, especially for enterprise environments. You are a critical thinker that thrives in ambiguity, delivering concrete results by designing, building, and running custom AI agents that augment workflows and scale across modern infrastructure. You’ll help shape the playbook for how enterprises adopt and scale AI-native development globally.

The Work:

• Embed directly with clients — acting as both technologist and trusted advisor.
• Partner with stakeholders to define use cases, rapidly prototype, and deploy agentic workflows that are robust, secure, and operational in complex enterprise domains.
• Design and develop enterprise-ready AI agents encompassing retrieval, orchestration, policy-based routing, tool invocation, evaluation harnesses, and lifecycle observability.
• Develop abstraction layers across AI providers (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, etc.) to enable seamless integration and enablement.
• Leverage containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), microservices, serverless, event-driven architectures, CI/CD, and observability to deliver scalable AI-native systems.
• Tailor and deploy agentic applications across verticals — e.g., finance, healthcare, retail — addressing domain-specific processes via intelligent automation.
• Conduct design workshops, POCs, and code-with sessions to shape data-driven agent workflows with stakeholders, fostering trust and adoption.
• Define and use key metrics, test harnesses, and evaluation plans to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost effectiveness.
• Craft reusable patterns, documentation, and best practices to influence internal assets and client roadmaps.

Location requirements: This role will require a minimum of 3 days per week in the office. Preferred location: Montreal, Quebec or Mississauga, Ontario.

Here’s What You Need:

• Minimum of 3 years development experience with cloud-native systems (APIs, microservices, containerization, serverless).
• Minimum of 1 year expertise in designing and deploying agentic solutions (agents, orchestration, context design, RAG, workflows) in production environments.
• Minimum of 3 years experience with AI platforms — OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, plus open-source models — including building abstraction layers to manage multi-provider pipelines.
• Minimum of 5 years experience programming in Python, Java, or equivalent; familiarity with evaluation tooling, logging, monitoring, and agent observability.
• Minimum of 5 years experience deploying to production — CI/CD, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm), monitoring, and debugging.
• Minimum of 5 years experience with client communication and collaboration, including being capable of leading technical workshops and delivering under ambiguity.
• Bachelor’s degree or completion of a college program in a related discipline.
• English is required for this position as this role will regularly interact with English-speaking stakeholders across Canada.
