Full Job Posting

Who you are

  • You are a hands-on builder first. You have recently designed, built, and shipped production AI applications yourself, and you still enjoy writing code, reviewing pull requests, and solving production issues alongside the team.
  • You bring strong technical depth. You have hands-on experience with Python, FastAPI, JavaScript (Vue.js or React.js), SQL, Redis, and Azure Cloud services, including Azure OpenAI / AI Foundry and API Management. You are comfortable with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions and QA automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.
  • You know modern AI engineering. You have built solutions using large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), prompt and context engineering, tool calling, and agentic frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, LangSmith, or equivalent. It’s an asset if you have experience with Databricks, LLM evaluation, and observability for AI agents in production (e.g., Splunk, OpenTelemetry).
  • You build for the enterprise. You design for security, scalability, reliability, and compliance, and you understand what it takes to run AI safely in a regulated environment.
  • You are ready to grow as a people leader. You mentor engineers, set technical direction, and raise the engineering bar. You are excited to grow into leading a team of engineers and QA specialists as the function scales.
  • Your influence makes a difference. You build trusted relationships with business and technology partners, translate business needs into practical AI solutions, and explain complex ideas clearly to non-technical audiences.
  • You're digitally savvy. You are curious, adapt quickly to new tools and trends, and take ownership of outcomes in a fast-moving space.
  • You live your values. You bring high standards, genuine care to your relationships, and want to grow with an employer that shares your values and brings out your best.
  • What CIBC Offers
  • At CIBC, your goals are a priority. We start with your strengths and ambitions as an employee and strive to create opportunities to tap into your potential. We aspire to give you a career, rather than just a paycheck.
  • We work to recognize you in meaningful, personalized ways including a competitive salary, incentive pay, banking benefits, a benefits program, defined benefit pension plan, an employee share purchase plan, a vacation offering, wellbeing support, and MomentMakers, our social, points-based recognition program.
  • Our spaces and technological toolkit will make it simple to bring together great minds to create innovative solutions that make a difference for our clients.
  • We cultivate a culture where you can express your ambition through initiatives like Purpose Day; a paid day off dedicated for you to use to invest in your growth and development.
  • Subject to plan and program terms and conditions
  • What you need to know
  • CIBC is committed to creating an inclusive environment where all team members and clients feel like they belong. We seek applicants with a wide range of abilities and we provide an accessible candidate experience. If you need accommodation, please contact [email protected]
  • CIBC is committed to clarity in our hiring process. All roles posted are opportunities we’re actively recruiting for, unless stated otherwise.
  • You need to be legally eligible to work at the location(s) specified above and, where applicable, must have a valid work or study permit.
  • We may ask you to complete an attribute-based assessment and other skills test (such as simulation, coding, French proficiency).
  • We use artificial intelligence tools during the recruitment process. Our goal for the application process is to get to know more about you, all that you have to offer, and give you the opportunity to learn more about us.
