The position

Job description

  • This role offers a unique opportunity to shape how enterprises harness the power of AI in real-world applications
  • As a bridge between our core North product and our clients’ engineering teams, you’ll be at the forefront of solving complex problems and securely integrating AI into critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, and telecommunications
  • We’re looking for Software Engineers with Applied AI experience who can own the design, build, and deployment of agentic workflows powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), from early prototypes to production-grade AI agents, to deliver concrete business value in enterprise workflows
  • You’ll work closely with customers on real-world business problems, often building first-of-their-kind agent workflows that integrate LLMs with tools, APIs, and data sources
  • While our pace is startup-fast, the bar is enterprise-high: agents must be reliable, observable, safe, and auditable from day one
  • Work closely with our enterprise customers to translate high-value, ambiguous business problems into well-framed agentic workflows with clear success criteria and evaluation methodologies
  • Lead the design, build, and delivery of LLM-powered agents that reason, plan, and act across tools, APIs, and sensitive enterprise data sources, with enterprise-grade reliability and performance
  • Build and ship features for North, our AI workspace platform, working across the full product lifecycle from conceptualisation through production
  • Take ownership of scoping and shaping use cases end-to-end, flexing into whatever technical area the problem demands (including frontend) to drive the most effective solution
  • Contribute to shared frameworks and patterns that enable consistent, high-quality delivery across customers and teams
  • Drive clarity in ambiguous situations, build alignment, and raise engineering quality across the organization
  • Travel up to 20–40% to work on-site with customers and partners

Benefits

  • Six weeks’ paid vacation
  • Equity / stock options
  • RRSP, 401(k), and Pension Scheme contributions
  • Coverage for 100% of your insurance premiums across health, dental, vision, and travel
  • Additional coverage for accessing mental health providers/services
  • Six months of fully paid parental leave, including adoption and surrogacy
  • Financial support for egg freezing and IVF in Canada and the UK
  • A monthly fitness and wellness allowance
  • Globally dispersed company that supports a remote work culture
  • A $2,000 annual education benefit for professional development
  • A weekly stipend for meals when working remotely and catered lunch when working from one of our global offices
  • A monthly arts and culture allowance
  • A monthly quality time allowance

Preferred experience

  • You have experience owning the full scope of a use case end-to-end
  • You thrive in fast-paced and ambiguous environments and can execute well even when priorities are shifting
  • You’re deeply familiar with the LLM stack: frontier models, vector databases, and orchestration frameworks
  • You’ve built and deployed highly performant RAG and agentic applications, including agents that plan and execute multi-step tasks using patterns like ReAct or Plan-and-Execute
  • You’re experienced working directly with customers and can lead technical discussions with enterprise stakeholders, translating ambiguous business needs into concrete technical specs
  • You have hands-on experience building and deploying production-grade software in Python; you write clean, testable, observable, scalable code
  • You have a proven ability to build robust evaluation frameworks, moving well beyond trial and error, to measure agent accuracy, safety, and latency
  • Experience setting architectural standards for AI and agentic systems across distributed teams
  • Experience flexing into unfamiliar technical areas, such as frontend, when the problem calls for it
  • Experience with enterprise security, compliance, or auditability requirements for AI systems
  • Exposure to regulated or sensitive industry environments (finance, healthcare, telecoms)
  • If any of the above doesn’t line up exactly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply
