We are currently seeking an AI Engineer to join our team.
The AI Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and delivering high‑quality AI technology solutions, including agentic AI applications, retrieval‑based intelligence, automation components, and secure system integrations. This role blends software engineering with modern AI development approaches to create reliable, safe, and scalable capabilities that improve user experience, operational efficiency, and decision‑making across the organization.
Here’s what would be included as a part of your typical day
- AI Technology Design & Development: Design and implement AI technology solutions, including agent behaviors, retrieval‑augmented intelligence, and integration of models into applications and workflows. Build secure and reliable components, and integrations to support AI‑driven interactions and decisioning. Apply strong software engineering practices, including testing, performance optimization, telemetry, and documentation
- AI Application Implementation: Translate business requirements into functional AI components, ensuring clarity, feasibility, and alignment to enterprise technical standards. Develop and refine prompts, reasoning logic, and decisioning flows within agentic applications. Troubleshoot issues in AI behavior, grounding, retrieval, and integration layers.
- Data Access & Retrieval Engineering: Implement secure data access strategies across structured and unstructured sources. Build and maintain retrieval pipelines (e.g., search/query components, embedding‑based retrieval, document ingestion pipelines). Ensure data usage aligns with privacy, security, and compliance requirements.
- Security, Quality & Compliance: Ensure all AI components adhere to identity and access controls, data security requirements, auditability, and content safety guidelines. Maintain awareness of regulatory expectations (including OSFI and FCAC) as they relate to AI‑enabled solutions. Conduct code reviews, implement automated testing, and validate AI outputs for accuracy and safety.
- Team Support and Collaboration: Work closely with internal IT groups, including Cyber Security, Data, Cloud Infrastructure, Architecture, Software Development, and IT Operations to ensure successful, secure, and scalable operationalization of AI technology solutions. Partner with business stakeholders, product teams, and subject-matter experts to ensure AI solutions are aligned with desired business outcomes and deliver measurable value.
- Research & Continuous Improvement: Stay current with advancements in AI engineering patterns, tooling, and development practices. Recommend improvements to frameworks, automation, and engineering processes to enhance solution reliability and scalability. Participate in internal knowledge‑sharing and technical learning activities.
