Title: Senior AI/ML Backend Developer

Position Type: Contract/ Full Time

Location: Remote across Canada

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior AI/ML Backend Developer to build and scale production‑grade AI agent systems using AgentCore runtime and the Strands agent framework. You’ll design robust retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, high‑throughput data processing services, and integrate AWS Bedrock foundation models in low‑latency, reliable APIs.

What You’ll Do

Architect, build, and optimize AI agents using AgentCore runtime and Strands for task orchestration, tool usage, and multi‑step reasoning.
Design and deploy RAG pipelines (chunking, embeddings, vector stores, ranking) with strong observability and evaluation.
Implement scalable Python microservices and data processing (ETL/ELT) with async I/O, queuing, and backpressure.
Integrate AWS Bedrock models (e.g., Anthropic/Meta/Amazon) with safe‑guardrails, prompt orchestration, and cost controls.
Productionize agents with CI/CD, IaC (Terraform/CDK), Amazon EKS or ECS/Fargate, and automated testing.
Establish evaluation & governance for agents/RAG (accuracy, latency, hallucination, drift, PII handling).
Collaborate with Product, Data, and Security to hit performance SLAs and compliance standards.

What You’ll Bring

6–10+ years backend engineering; 3+ years AI/ML apps/agents in production.
Hands‑on with AgentCore runtime and Strands agent framework (or equivalent agent frameworks).
Deep RAG experience (vector DBs like Pinecone, OpenSearch/KNN, Milvus, or pgvector).
Strong Python (FastAPI, asyncio, typing, pydantic), API design, and testing (pytest).
Cloud‑native on AWS (EKS/ECS, Lambda, SQS/Kinesis, Step Functions); AWS Bedrock familiarity.
Data processing at scale (Spark/Flink or Dask preferred), and feature/log pipelines.
Security & compliance mindset (PII handling, key management, IAM, audit trails).
