Original job description

Positions title: Python & AI Engineer

Number of openings: 1, 12-Month initial contract

Location: Toronto, ON CA

Hybrid work - 4 days/week in-office downtown Toronto

Must be eligible to work in Canada

Roles and responsibilities:

We are seeking a proactive, full-stack Python & AI Developer to join the Equities Technology team's Applied AI Initiative. In this role, you will drive an "AI-first" engineering culture by embedding modern AI tools and Agentic AI workflows directly into core software engineering practices and internal platforms.

You will be responsible for building high-impact Proofs of Concept (POCs) from scratch and scaling AI features within a secure enterprise infrastructure. We are looking for a true builder with a strong sense of curiosity and enthusiasm for modern generative AI and agentic coding workflows.

Key Responsibilities

Rapidly build, prototype, and ship POCs that apply modern AI to real-world business challenges.
Champion AI-assisted development and Agentic AI coding practices across the entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
Collaborate with cross-functional technology and business teams to identify, validate, and scale high-value AI opportunities.
Embed generative AI solutions responsibly, adhering to enterprise security, scalability, and privacy standards.

Must have Qualifications

A minimum of 5+yrs of the following:

Python Expertise: Deep, hands-on knowledge of Python and its core modern frameworks.
Agentic Coding & AI Tooling: Practical experience with GitHub Copilot, modern LLM-driven development tools, and agentic coding patterns.
Full-Stack Capability: Working knowledge of modern front-end frameworks (React strongly preferred) and relational databases.
Deployment & Enterprise Tech: Solid grasp of containerization, modern deployment patterns, and foundational enterprise architecture requirements (security, logging, scalability).
Generative AI Concepts: Solid understanding of modern GenAI patterns (RAG, AI agents, embeddings, prompt/context engineering, evaluation frameworks).
AI Governance & Risk Awareness: Understanding of data privacy, hallucination mitigation, model risk management, and operating within enterprise/regulated guardrails.

Preferred Experience & Mindset

Proactive "builder" mindset with high initiative and a passion for staying on the cutting edge of AI development.
Previous experience in regulated environments (financial services, healthcare, etc.) is a plus, though Capital Markets domain knowledge is not required.
