[Hiring] AI Developer @WSP

Role Description

As an AI Developer (LLM & Agentic Systems), you will design and develop AI-enabled applications and intelligent systems used in client-facing projects, supporting decision-making across mining, resources, infrastructure, and environmental domains. This role can be based anywhere in Canada and plays a key part in advancing our AI-enabled platforms, internal tooling, and next-generation data solutions.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable full-stack applications that integrate advanced AI and data capabilities.
• Develop backend APIs and cloud-native components that support scalable data and analytics workflows.
• Integrate LLMs, agentic workflows, and NLP techniques (e.g., entity recognition and entity resolution) into production-ready systems.
• Contribute to the design and evolution of knowledge-based and data-driven platforms.
• Develop and integrate data pipelines and knowledge-driven components (e.g., structured data, semantic layers, or knowledge graphs) into applications.
• Collaborate closely with analytics, data science, knowledge engineering, and digital product teams.
• Work directly with internal teams and clients to translate requirements into scalable, production-ready solutions.
• Implement secure, maintainable, and testable code aligned with industry best practices.
• Support CI/CD, Git workflows, and DevOps automation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience, including 2+ years leading the design, deployment, and scaling of LLM-based or agentic AI systems in production environments.
• Demonstrated experience designing end-to-end AI architectures, including data ingestion, retrieval, reasoning layers, and user-facing applications.
• Strong experience with LLM workflows, including prompt engineering, evaluation strategies, agent orchestration, and tool integration.
• Hands-on experience with embeddings, vector search, and RAG pipelines, including performance optimization and retrieval quality improvements.
• Proven ability to design and build scalable backend systems and APIs (Python – FastAPI preferred, or Node.js), including microservices architectures.
• Experience integrating structured and unstructured data into scalable AI applications.
• Experience applying NLP techniques (e.g., entity extraction, entity resolution) in real-world applications.
• Strong experience with cloud-native development (Azure preferred), including deployment, monitoring, and cost/performance optimization.
• Experience with DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and multi-environment deployments (dev, UAT, production).
• Nice to have: Experience with knowledge graphs and graph query languages (e.g., SPARQL, Cypher), microservices, Docker/Kubernetes, ETL pipelines, or engineering-heavy data environments.
