Job Description
Join RBC's technology team at the forefront of enterprise engineering and agentic AI innovation. You'll take on a genuine technical leadership role, shaping architectural decisions, and building intelligent automation solutions that directly accelerate delivery and business outcomes. This is a rare prospect to influence engineering culture at scale: driving CI/CD excellence, championing modern DevOps practices, and integrating cutting‑edge LLM‑based tools into real workflows. If you're energized by solving complex problems across the full stack, mentoring talented developers, and working where AI meets enterprise‑grade engineering, this team is where that work is happening.

What You Will Do

Lead 1‑2 engineers initially, as technical team lead, providing code reviews, architectural direction, and hands‑on delivery of full stack applications using modern technologies

Design and build agentic AI workflows and LLM‑integrated automation solutions that augment developer productivity and streamline business processes

Architect and implement automated test suites (unit, integration, end‑to‑end) using frameworks such as Selenium, Playwright, and PyTest to ensure software quality at scale

Design, champion, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment workflows, promoting DevOps best practices across engineering teams

Build and optimize containerized microservices using Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, and cloud‑native architectures on AWS, Azure, or GCP

Mentor junior and intermediate developers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, and engineering standards adherence

Collaborate with product management, QA, and infrastructure teams to align engineering efforts with business objectives and regulatory requirements

Evaluate emerging technologies – particularly in the AI/ML and agentic automation space – and recommend adoption strategies to enhance platform capabilities

What You Need to Succeed
Must have:





7+ years of progressive full stack software development and/or automation engineering experience, with 2+ years in a technical lead or team lead capacity

Robust proficiency in Python or Java with demonstrated ability to architect complex, enterprise‑grade systems

Hands‑on experience with agentic AI development, LLM integration, and prompt engineering – including tools such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or the OpenAI API

Experience building RAG pipelines, autonomous agents, or AI‑assisted developer workflows integrated into production engineering environments

Deep experience with containerized applications, Kubernetes, and CI/CD platforms (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI), including DevOps tooling such as Docker, Helm, and Terraform

Proven ability to design and deliver automated testing frameworks and workflow orchestration solutions (e.g., Airflow, Selenium, Playwright, PyTest)

Nice‑to‑have:

Familiarity with event‑driven architectures or messaging systems such as Kafka or RabbitMQ

Experience in financial services or a regulated industry, with exposure to security best practices and compliance requirements

Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools such as Datadog, Splunk, or Grafana, and experience contributing to Agile/Scrum ceremonies and technical roadmaps

What’s in it for you?

A comprehensive Total Rewards Program including bonuses and flexible benefits, competitive compensation, commissions, and stock where applicable

Leaders who support your development through coaching and managing opportunities

Ability to make a difference and lasting impact in technology transformation

Work in a dynamic, collaborative, progressive, and high‑performing team

A world‑class training program in financial services and technology

Flexible work/life balance options
