• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (preferably Azure), CI/CD pipelines, and modern software architecture principles.
• Proven experience building production applications that leverage Large Language Models (LLMs), including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or similar AI technologies.
• Knowledge of AI concepts such as agentic workflows, RAG architectures, prompt engineering, Model Context Protocol (MCP), evaluation frameworks, and AI governance.
• Strong systems-thinking, architectural design, stakeholder management, and technical communication skills.
• Ability to balance technical excellence with pragmatic delivery while guiding teams through complex design decisions.
• Experience with XR, VR, AR, Unity, training platforms, consulting environments, or regulated industries is considered an asset.
• Must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

Benefits

• Opportunity to work at the forefront of AI, immersive technologies, and digital transformation.
• Significant influence over product architecture, technical direction, and engineering best practices.
• Hands-on role combining technical leadership with active software development.
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial engineering culture focused on innovation and continuous improvement.
• Exposure to cutting-edge AI technologies, cloud platforms, and enterprise-scale software solutions.
• Opportunity to contribute to products that enhance learning, onboarding, and workforce performance.
• Professional growth through challenging technical initiatives and cross-functional collaboration.
