About the role

This is not a traditional management role.
You will work across large-scale ingestion pipelines, search systems, AI/LLM infrastructure, event-driven architectures, vector databases, analytics platforms, and real-time data processing.
You should be equally comfortable discussing high-level architecture with senior leadership and diving into a failing Kubernetes pod or optimizing a Spark job.

Responsibilities

Design and build scalable data platforms and distributed processing systems
Develop modern ingestion, transformation, and retrieval pipelines for structured and unstructured data
Build systems supporting AI/LLM applications, semantic search, RAG pipelines, vector search, and agentic workflows
Work hands-on with engineering teams to implement production-grade solutions rather than producing slideware
Partner with product and platform engineering teams to accelerate delivery of AI-native capabilities
Drive pragmatic engineering decisions balancing speed, maintainability, and operational simplicity
Mentor engineers technically through design reviews, architecture guidance, and pair debugging

Requirements

Strong Hands-On Engineering Experience

Nice to have

Experience with large-scale news, document, or regulatory data pipelines
Experience with search relevancy tuning and semantic retrieval
Exposure to governance, compliance, risk, or enterprise SaaS platforms
Familiarity with modern AI engineering workflows and agentic systems
Experience supporting both startup-speed execution and enterprise-scale operations
Python strongly preferred
Experience with Java, Go, or TypeScript is a plus

Compensation

$180,000 - $210,000 CAD
