What you will do
- Own architecture, build-versus-buy decisions, and technical design across AI-native and conventional software.
- Guide designs, unblock developers and researchers, and contribute code to the hardest problems.
- Improve the team's development lifecycle using AI and automation across specifications, CI/CD, testing, observability, and tooling.
- Define agentic development practices and remove manual steps and dependencies; share proven patterns with DevEx.
- Lead developers and researchers, supporting growth, focus, delivery, feedback, and blocker removal.
- Shape research experiments so they reach real customers and generate useful learning.
- Prototype and validate opportunities, then hand off, stop, or advance promising work.
What you will bring
- Deep, current engineering expertise and experience architecting and shipping substantial systems, with the ability to work directly in code.
- Comfort with C#/.NET and REST/WebAPI, TypeScript with Angular or React, and Python for AI/ML; depth in most areas and ability to ramp up on others.
- Experience across microservices, modular monoliths, CQRS, event-driven systems, and clean REST/OpenAPI APIs.
- AI-native use of LLMs, agent frameworks, coding tools, and evaluations, with sound judgment about model capabilities.
- A point of view on CI/CD, testing, observability, and developer tools, plus ability or strong motivation to improve team delivery.
- Leadership to develop a small team, comfort with ambiguity, and ability to make decisions and iterate.
- Comfort working in a bilingual French-English environment.
Work arrangement
- The posting describes hybrid work with two office days each week at the Laval and Montréal offices.
