About Us

We're a Montréal-based AI engineering practice working on-site and remote, in French and English. Most firms staff a team and send a deck. We place one engineer inside a client's business who carries the project end to end: scoping, building, shipping, adoption.

We find where time is lost and where value is left on the table, ship a first build rapid, and iterate on real feedback. Once a system ships, we stay to operate it - updates, security, model changes - so it stays dependable as the client grows.

Everything we build is designed to run two ways: a clean interface people drive today, and the same controls an AI agent can run as agents become dependable. We build on what clients already have, no rip-and-replace, and we measure success in outcomes, not features shipped.

The role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you're embedded inside a client's business and own the outcome. You sit with their team, learn how the work actually flows, and turn that into working software they adopt.

Day to day, you'll:

- Scope problems directly with client stakeholders and translate real workflows into technical requirements
- Design system architecture and build the back-end services, APIs, and integrations that fit into what the client already runs
- Ship small, real builds quickly and iterate on how people actually use them
- Deploy, monitor,



and maintain systems in production, owning reliability and security
- Document your work thoroughly so systems run as products, not one-off projects
- Work across French and English as the client needs

This isn't a heads-down backend role. You're on the client's floor, accountable for something that has to work and keep working.

What we're looking for

- You build software that ships and holds up in production - clean, tested, maintainable code, and the judgment to know when it's good enough
- Solid back-end fundamentals: APIs, databases, and integrating with systems you didn't build
- Experience running software in production - cloud, CI/CD, monitoring, and security aren't new to you
- You work well with non-technical people: you listen, ask the right questions, and turn business needs into something real
- You're self-directed and accountable - you own outcomes and maintain what you ship, rather than handing it off
- Comfortable in a bilingual French/English setting; fluent in at least one, willing to work in both
- Experience with AI, ML, or data-driven systems is a plus, not a requirement - we care more that you can learn fast and build
- Formal CS background, self-taught, or somewhere in between - if you can do the work, we want to hear from you
