Bōde is delivering the future of homeownership, bringing everything homeowners need to maximize the value of their current and future home into one seamless platform.
This award-winning, venture-backed Canadian Proptech company operates across Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Saskatchewan. Nearly 4,000 transactions and partnerships with dozens of leading Canadian homebuilders demonstrate its ability to deliver value at scale.
Powered by AWS Bedrock and grounded in Bōde’s property, market and transaction data, Bōde proprietary AI removes complexity from every stage of homeownership. It helps people transact with confidence, understand their home’s performance and uncover more than $50,000 in potential value. This is delivered through personalized renovation, financing, maintenance and market insights, all conveniently available through the Bōde Homeowner Dashboard, for free.
For builders, Bōde’s platform reimagines what it means to be a strategic partner, delivering real time data, digital optimization and the seamless buyer experience in the Canadian market. Every transaction becomes the beginning of a valuable long-term relationship, creating a more convenient and rewarding homeownership experience from the first search through every decision that follows.
The Role
We're hiring the first dedicated technical owner of Bōde's AI layer. This is a senior, hands-on role: you'll set the technical direction for how Bōde AI is built and own the quality of what it produces.One thing that matters to how we build: we've learned that the best architecture is usually deterministic code for data preparation and validation, with a targeted model call only where it actually adds value, not reaching for "an agent" as the default answer to every problem. If that's already how you think about this kind of work, you'll fit well here.
What you'll own
- Bode AI response quality: context engineering, prompt design, and retrieval tuning across our RAG pipeline, so answers are accurate, grounded, and cite their sources.
- The AgentCore migration: Bōde AI AgentCore's managed capabilities without disrupting production.
- Evaluation as a real discipline: you'll define rigorous and recurring performance standards for Bōde AI
- Cost and latency: what data and context gets sent to the model, token usage, and response time, including the reporting and controls you'll build around it.
- AI-layer security judgment calls: PII exposure in prompts and context, prompt-injection surface
Your background
- 4+ years building production software, including experience shipping LLM-backed features: applied work, not prototypes or side projects.
- Solid prompt/context engineering skills, with a track record of measurably improving grounding, accuracy, or cost/latency in a live LLM system.
- Hands-on experience with AWS Bedrock Agents or Bedrock AgentCore specifically, or deep, practical experience with a comparable agentic framework (LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, or a custom tool-orchestration system you built and ran in production). Comfortable owning evaluation end to end: building golden sets, defining metrics, catching regressions before users do.
- Solid backend engineering fundamentals (Node.js/TypeScript and Python); you'll be writing production code, not just prompts.
- You reach for deterministic, testable code first and a model call only where it earns its keep. We'll ask about this directly in the interview.
- Highly valued: extensive experience with AWS Lex or another NLU/intent-classification system. This is directly applicable to work already underway here, not a generic plus.
- Nice to have, not required: background in a regulated industry; real estate domain knowledge.
How we'll evaluate you
Nobody has a multi-year AgentCore tenure; the product is too new for that to exist. That doesn't mean experience doesn't matter, though. We're looking for substantial time spent building and shipping with Bedrock, AgentCore, or a comparable agentic framework, not just strong fundamentals and fast learning.
Location
- Ideal: Calgary or Alberta
- Still Consider: Any other market in Canada
