Senior Software AI Engineer β€” Agentic Platforms

Full-Time, Permanent | Downtown Toronto | Hybrid

Our client, a global enterprise, is building an internal AI platform β€” a multi-tenant, model-agnostic environment spanning a web app, a desktop agent client, an AI App Store, and a skills/tool ecosystem over the company's knowledge.

They're looking for a Senior AI Engineer to help design and build the agent infrastructure at the core of it: orchestration engines, the desktop agent harness, tool/skill registries, and the policy layers that make it all safe to run at enterprise scale.

What you'll do

  • Build and extend multi-agent orchestration (LangGraph, Microsoft Agent Framework, Deep Agents) β€” stateful graphs, checkpointing, sub-agents, human-in-the-loop, long-running execution.
  • Work directly with frontier LLM SDKs at the agent-loop level (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) β€” not just chat completions.
  • Own the model-agnostic routing layer: provider routing, cost/token accounting, graceful degradation as models churn.
  • Build MCP integration, sandboxing/process isolation, and a permission system (ALLOW/ASK/DENY) enforced across runtimes.
  • Build retrieval, grounding, and citation pipelines that hold up in production.
  • Build eval infrastructure β€” regression gates, tracing, and diagnosability for agent failures.

What we need

  • 7+ years building production software, with recent, substantial work on LLM-based systems used by real users.
  • Strong TypeScript (Node.js, async, strict typing) and working proficiency in Python (FastAPI, Pydantic).
  • Production depth in LangGraph, Microsoft Agent Framework, or Deep Agents.
  • Direct experience with at least one frontier provider SDK at the agent-loop level.
  • Hands-on with tool calling, MCP (or comparable), streaming (SSE/WebSocket), structured output.

Nice to have

  • Google ADK, Semantic Kernel, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, Pydantic AI, Mastra.
  • Sandboxing/isolation experience (gVisor, nsjail, Firecracker, Seatbelt, Bubblewrap).
  • Electron/desktop app engineering, vector search, regulated-industry experience (insurance, banking, financial services).
