Faculty of Arts & Science

Dept of Computer Science The Faculty of Arts & Science is the heart of Canada’s leading university and one of the most comprehensive and diverse academic divisions in the world. The strength of Arts & Science derives from our combined teaching and research excellence in the humanities, sciences and social sciences across 29 departments, seven colleges and 46 interdisciplinary centres, institutes and programs.

The diversity of opportunities and perspectives within the Faculty reflect the local and global landscape and the need for curiosity, innovative thinking and collaboration. At Arts & Science, we take pride in our legacy of innovation and discovery that has changed the way we think about the world.

Established in 1964, the Department of Computer Science is ranked among the top computer science departments in the world. Our faculty have been presented with a wide variety of honours and awards over the years, including two Turing Awards, and many other national and international honours. We provide diverse programs and research opportunities while consistently producing high-impact research that is among the most highly cited in computer science.

The Matter Lab, led by Professor Alán Aspuru-Guzik and Professor Varinia Bernales at the University of Toronto, is preparing to launch El Agente — an LLM-powered multi-agent system that makes science accessible through natural language. El Agente enables researchers, students, and industry partners to run tasks such as complex quantum chemistry workflows, and drug development by simply describing what they need in plain English, removing the steep technical barriers that have historically limited access to these powerful tools.

We are hiring a Full Stack Software Engineer to develop a cloud infrastructure for El Agente's public platform ( This is a platform engineering role: you will be responsible for making El Agente reliably available to users worldwide. You will work alongside computational chemists, ML researchers, and HPC specialists in one of the world's leading scientific AI labs.





These are one-year term opportunities with possibility for renewal.

Architect, deploy, and operate the cloud infrastructure that serves El Agente to users at scale, including multi-tenant access, secure compute provisioning, and auto-scaling

Build and maintain containerized deployment pipelines (Docker, Kubernetes) for reproducible, version-controlled environments

Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response processes to ensure platform reliability

Develop and maintain the web-facing application layer — user authentication, tiered access control, usage metering, and data management

Build and operate data pipelines for computational results, including secure storage, retrieval, and IP protection for registered users

Manage CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code for consistent, repeatable deployments

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience

Minimum five (5) years' experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or DevOps/SRE roles

Strong proficiency in Python and Linux systems administration

Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation)

Working knowledge of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)

Experience with CI/CD pipelines and production monitoring/observability tools

Familiarity with building or maintaining web applications (React, Vue.js, or similar)

Assets (Nonessential)

Familiarity with computational chemistry software or scientific computing workflows

Experience with LLM-based application deployment and serving infrastructure

Knowledge of database systems (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis) and scalable data architectures
