Description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Software Engineer, AI Systems based in Canada. This is a high-impact engineering role focused on building the core backend systems that power next-generation AI-driven products. You will work at the intersection of distributed systems, backend engineering, and applied machine learning, helping design and scale agent-based architectures in production environments. The role involves shaping how LLMs interact with structured data, APIs, and real-world workflows to deliver reliable, production-grade AI capabilities. You will contribute across the full stack of AI systems—from orchestration and tooling to evaluation and deployment. This is a deeply technical position suited for engineers who thrive in ambiguity and enjoy building foundational infrastructure. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to translate complex business workflows into intelligent, automated systems. \n Accountabilities: Design and build scalable AI agent systems and orchestration frameworks that power LLM-driven product experiences across production environments. Develop robust backend services integrating LLMs with structured datasets, internal APIs, and platform workflows to enable intelligent automation. Build and maintain infrastructure for prompt iteration, evaluation pipelines, observability, and performance monitoring of AI systems. Define and implement architectural standards for reliable, secure, and scalable AI-native systems in production. Partner with product and engineering teams to translate domain workflows into AI-enabled features and user-facing capabilities. Contribute to platform modernization efforts including tooling, developer frameworks, and distributed system improvements. Ensure systems are production-ready by focusing on reliability, latency, maintainability, and scalability across services. Requirements 10+ years of experience in backend engineering, data engineering, or equivalent roles in production environments. Strong expertise in designing and building scalable backend systems, APIs, and distributed architectures. Hands-on experience with LLMs, agent frameworks, prompt engineering, or generative AI applications in production. Proficiency in Python (or similar backend languages) with strong software engineering fundamentals. Experience working with cloud infrastructure, microservices, and distributed system design. Familiarity with building internal tooling, developer platforms, or AI/ML infrastructure is a strong asset. Strong ability to operate across the stack, from infrastructure-level design to product integration. Excellent collaboration skills with the ability to navigate ambiguity in fast-moving technical environments. Bonus: Experience in fintech, SaaS, or regulated industries, and contributions to AI or data infrastructure projects. Benefits Competitive base salary ranging from $215,000 – $250,000 CAD annually Equity participation through stock options Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance coverage Flexible remote-first work environment across Canada Opportunities for high-impact ownership in foundational AI systems Collaborative, fast-paced engineering culture focused on innovation Professional growth in cutting-edge AI and distributed systems development. \n How Jobgether works: We use an AI-powered matching process to ensure your application is reviewed quickly, objectively, and fairly against the role's core requirements.
