Job Description What is the opportunity? As a Lead AI Application Developer at RBC, you will help build the next generation of ML, GenAi autonomous and semi-autonomous AI platform and solutions for Cyber, Fraud, Risk & Security. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers to design, develop, and deploy production-grade AI and ML systems, gaining exposure to large language models, machine learning, data engineering, and modern cloud technologies. With access to advanced AI tools and a collaborative environment, you’ll contribute to projects that drive detective/preventive controls, automation, increase operational efficiency, and support regulatory compliance. What will you do? Design, build, and deploy robust scalable backend services for Agentic AI applications build using Python, LangChain, LangGraph, and related frameworks. Build AI solutions using LLMs and RAG systems (OpenAI, Cohere, Claude, Llama), vector search (pgvector, Milvus, Pinecone), and advanced context engineering pipelines (LangChain, Semantic Kernel) to ensure AI actions are context-aware, secure, and aligned with real-time enterprise data. Deploy, manage, and optimize ML/Agentic applications on OpenShift Container Platform (OCP), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS) using Helios on Actions CI/CD pipeline. Apply and advocated for best practices in secure coding and MLOps CI/CD automation (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, GitHub Actions, Jenkins), traceability (Langfuse) and observability (Prometheus, Grafana). Develop and deploy APIs (REST, GraphQL, FastAPI, gRPC) ensuring high availability, scalability, resilience, and security. Engineer and maintain scalable data pipelines and workflows using PySpark, SageMaker, Airflow, JupyterHub, RunAI. Contribute to code reviews, collaborate with data scientists and engineers, front and backend engineers and ML engineers, and maintain clear technical documentation.
