Location: Remote (with occasional onsite required)Experience: 8+ yearsAbout the RoleWe're looking for a Staff Engineer to help architect and build applications using an AI-first software development lifecycle.This is a high-impact role—you'll shape technical direction, establish patterns for agentic development, and mentor teams on how to effectively collaborate with AI throughout the entire development process.This isn't about bolting AI onto existing workflows. You'll help define how we build software when AI agents are first-class participants in design, implementation, and review.What You'll DoArchitect systems designed for AI-assisted development, with high-performance backends in Go or Rust and TypeScript frontendsEstablish agentic development patterns using methodologies like BMAD (Breakthrough Method for Agile AI-Driven Development) and long-running agent loopsDesign and orchestrate multi-agent workflows where specialized AI personas collaborate across the SDLC—from product definition through deploymentBuild tooling and infrastructure that enables effective human-AI collaboration at scaleInfluence technical strategy and help teams adopt AI-first practices without sacrificing code quality or maintainabilityMentor engineers on when and how to leverage agentic patterns effectivelyWhat We're Looking For8+ years of software engineering experience,



with demonstrated architectural impactStrong backend skills in Go or Rust—you understand performance-critical systemsProduction TypeScript experience for frontend developmentHands-on experience with agentic development patterns—you've worked with AI coding assistants, multi-agent orchestration, or similar workflows (familiarity with BMAD or comparable frameworks preferred)Systems thinking—you can design for long-running processes, state management, and failure recovery in agent-driven contextsStrong opinions, loosely held—you'll shape direction but collaborate well when better ideas emergeNice to HaveExperience building or contributing to AI/LLM toolingBackground in developer experience or internal platform teamsContributions to open-source agentic frameworksExperience scaling AI-assisted workflows across engineering teamsWhy This RoleYou'll have significant influence over how we build software. This is a chance to define patterns at the intersection of AI capabilities and practical engineering—not hype-driven experimentation, but production-grade systems built with AI as a core collaborator.This posting is for an existing vacancy that we are actively looking to fill.We use artificial intelligence (AI) to assist in the screening, assessment, and selection of applicantsBase Salary: CAD 150,000-200,000ABOUT USiTMethods builds sovereign AI infrastructure for regulated industries. For 20 years, we've earned the trust of 100+ enterprise customers in financial services, healthcare, pharma, semiconductor, defence, and technology. Our platform — The Fortress Family (Forge, Reign, BioCompute) — helps organizations govern AI where compliance isn't optional and evidence matters.
