Senior Software Engineer

Title : Senior Software Developer (Python)

Location : Canada (Remote)

Type: Full-Time

Salary:

A fast-growing SaaS team is hiring a Senior Software Developer to help build its next-gen AI platform — an internal assistant designed to streamline workflows, surface contextual insights, and scale across an existing multi-product suite.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on backend development, LLM integration, and data pipelines. You’ll work closely with product, design, and AI specialists to ship features that improve user experience and power real-time intelligence for thousands of users.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build new backend features and APIs for the company’s AI assistant
• Integrate external data sources into a unified AI knowledge base
• Implement and optimize LLM-powered features (RAG, embeddings, agent workflows)
• Collaborate on architecture and design decisions with product and engineering
• Maintain clean, modular code and enforce best practices through code reviews
• Support early adopters and provide engineering feedback to improve performance
• Contribute to infrastructure decisions and deployment workflows

What They’re Looking For

• 5+ years of backend development experience (Python + FastAPI)
• Strong cloud infrastructure skills with Azure, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm
• Experience with databases like MongoDB, PostgreSQL, or Neo4j
• Solid understanding of LLMs, vector stores, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agentic AI systems
• Familiarity with writing testable, well-architected code and applying SOLID, DRY, KISS, YAGNI principles
• Strong collaboration and communication skills — able to work closely with product and design
• Comfortable wearing many hats in a fast-moving product environment
• Autonomous, proactive, and driven to ship high-impact features fast

Tech You’ll Be Using

• Python, FastAPI, uvicorn
• Azure, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm
• MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Neo4j
• LLMs, vector embeddings, RAG pipelines, agent frameworks
• GitHub Actions, modern CI/CD workflows

Why This Role Stands Out

• You’ll work on a cutting-edge AI initiative already being rolled out across real customers
• High product ownership, fast release cycles, and real impact on user workflows
• A lean, product-led team where engineering drives innovation
• Strong support from leadership to invest in AI-native tooling and infrastructure
