About Thoughtcraft Thoughtcraft Technologies Ltd. is a Calgary-based technology consulting and product incubation company working with technology businesses in areas including HR Tech, online recruitment and digital products.

We work closely with long-term technology partners to turn market insights, product concepts and emerging technologies into working digital products. Our work spans product strategy, data-driven research, rapid prototyping, applied AI and software development.

Rather than operating as a traditional project-based consulting team, our engineers work as part of integrated product and engineering teams, collaborating with product managers, researchers and engineers across Canada, the U.S. and Asia.

The Team You will join a small and collaborative engineering environment in Calgary and work alongside other local software engineers in a shared office setting.

The Calgary team works closely with distributed product and engineering teams serving North American technology products. While you will be employed directly by Thoughtcraft Technologies Ltd., your day-to-day work will involve close collaboration with engineers and product stakeholders across our partner teams.

This is a good fit for someone who enjoys the pace and ownership of a small engineering team while still working on established, production-level products.

The Role We are looking for an

AI Engineer with strong full-stack development capabilities .

Despite the title, this is not a machine-learning research position. Your core responsibility will be building and improving production software, with an increasing portion of the work involving AI-enabled product features and workflows.

You will work across the stack: developing web applications, backend services and APIs, working with databases, integrating third-party services,



and building new capabilities using modern AI and large language model technologies.

The ideal candidate is a solid full-stack engineer who is interested in how AI is changing software development and product design—and wants to build those systems rather than only experiment with them.

What You’ll Work On

Design, build and maintain production web applications across the front end and back end

Develop modern user interfaces using technologies such as React, Next.js and TypeScript

Build backend services, APIs and application logic using Node.js and/or Python

Work with relational and NoSQL databases

Integrate external APIs, data services and third‑party platforms

Build and integrate AI-powered product features using large language models and AI APIs

Prototype new AI workflows and turn successful prototypes into reliable production features

Work with structured prompting, model outputs, application logic and AI evaluation as part of product development

Troubleshoot, test and improve existing applications and services

Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards and architecture decisions

Collaborate directly with engineers, product managers and other stakeholders across distributed teams

Take ownership of features from initial problem definition through implementation and production release

What We’re Looking For

Approximately

3-4+ years of qualified software development experience

Professional experience with

React

and modern front‑end development

Experience with

Node.js, Python or another modern backend technology

Experience designing or working with REST APIs and backend services

Experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases





Solid understanding of Git and collaborative software development workflows

Ability to understand an existing codebase and independently deliver production-quality features

Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills

Strong written and verbal English communication skills

Comfortable working in a small, multicultural and distributed engineering team

Able to work regularly from our Calgary office and collaborate during North American business hours

Legally entitled to work in Canada

Nice to Have You do not need to be an AI or machine‑learning specialist when you join us. Experience in any of the following areas would be beneficial:

Building applications using OpenAI, Anthropic or other LLM APIs

AI agents, tool calling, retrieval or AI workflow development

Prompt engineering and structured model outputs

AI evaluation, testing or observability

Next.js and modern React frameworks

Cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud

Docker, CI/CD and production deployment workflows

Experience with data-intensive applications

Experience in HR Tech, recruitment technology, SaaS or other B2B technology products

What Makes This Role Different This role sits between traditional full-stack engineering and the emerging discipline of applied AI engineering.

You will still spend a significant amount of your time doing the fundamentals of good software engineering—building interfaces, APIs, application logic and production systems. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to work directly on how AI models become part of real products and real user workflows.

You will also work in a small team where engineers have meaningful ownership. You will be close to both technical decisions and product decisions, rather than working on a narrowly defined component of a large organization.

We are looking for someone who is curious, pragmatic and comfortable learning quickly as the technology evolves.
