Agentic AI Platform Engineer 

Overview

We are building a next-generation Agentic AI Platform to enable enterprise-scale adoption of autonomous AI systems across the bank.
We are seeking a hands-on Agentic AI Platform Engineer with deep experience in Python, Generative AI frameworks, and containerized deployments on Kubernetes (OCP, Azure, AWS).

This is a 100% coding role, focused on designing, developing, and deploying production-grade AI platform components — from LLM orchestration to secure, scalable, multi-agent systems.

Responsibilities

  • Design, code, and deploy Python-based microservices and frameworks enabling orchestration of LLM-driven agents.
  • Build and maintain containerized AI workloads using Docker and Kubernetes (OpenShift, EKS, AKS).
  • Develop APIs, SDKs, and Python libraries that power GenAI and agentic workloads across RBC business lines.
  • Implement end-to-end orchestration for agent workflows, integrating frameworks such as LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or Haystack.
  • Integrate and operationalize MCP-Context-Forge for context management, orchestration, and inter-agent communication.
  • Embed observability, monitoring, and governance into all platform services (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
  • Ensure secure and compliant AI operations through Kubernetes-native policies, RBAC, and network isolation.
  • Collaborate closely with data scientists, AI researchers, and DevOps teams to productionize models and agent workflows.
  • Prototype, benchmark, and deploy LLM pipelines on multi-cloud environments (OCP, Azure, AWS).
  • Continuously enhance developer experience by contributing to internal Python SDKs, deployment automation, and CI/CD pipelines.

Required Qualifications

  • Expert-level Python developer — strong track record of building frameworks, SDKs, or orchestration systems.
  • Hands-on experience coding and deploying GenAI / LLM-powered applications using LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or custom agent frameworks.
  • Deep expertise in containerization and Kubernetes:
  • Proficient in Docker, Helm, and Kubernetes manifests (Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets).
  • Experienced with OpenShift (OCP), Azure AKS, and/or AWS EKS for production-grade deployments.
  • Familiar with Kubernetes networking, security (RBAC, NetworkPolicies), and monitoring.
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and automation tools such as GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or Jenkins.
  • Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry).
  • Hands-on experience with microservices design, API development, and event-driven orchestration.
  • Solid understanding of LLM system design, context management, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures.
  • Comfortable working across hybrid and multi-cloud environments with secure service connectivity.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience developing Python SDKs, internal APIs, or developer tools for enterprise platforms.
    • Familiarity with model serving frameworks (KServe, Ray Serve, BentoML) and distributed AI orchestration.
    • Knowledge of service mesh architectures (Istio, Linkerd) and policy enforcement in Kubernetes.
    • Experience integrating MCP-Context-Forge or similar orchestration technologies.
    • Background in financial services, particularly in secure AI deployment or regulated environments.

    • The pay range that the employer reasonably expects to pay for this position is between CA$60.00 and CA$85.00
