Safety is where everything begins. It shapes our culture, our products, and the way we show up for our communities. Join us as we build smarter technologies that redefine fleet safety. When you help make fleets smarter, you make people safer. We make fleet vehicles – and everyone in and around them – safer. Our fleet safety platform brings together best-in-class products, ground-breaking technology, and a 100-year history of fleet know-how and innovation to solve the world’s biggest fleet safety problems. Our core value is safety. Without safety first, efficiency and productivity are not possible. This is true for our products, our culture, and our relationship with our community. Our vision is to reduce preventable deaths and injuries in and around fleet vehicles with a goal of ZERO accidents. We are re-defining what safety means for fleets of every type – from school buses to waste collection trucks, firefighting to utility vehicles, police cruisers to delivery vans. Whether you work in our Charlotte plant to build life‑saving stop arms for school buses, or design advanced camera vision products in our Vancouver office, forge valves and high‑quality nozzles to fight fires, or dream up new ways to protect fleet operators in our Corporate HQ in Kansas City, you’ll contribute to our goal to keep everyone safe. We are a rapid‑growing manufacturing, service, and technology company with over 1700 employees in over 15 locations across Canada and the US. We’re looking for motivated self‑starters with innovative thinking to join our team and help us achieve our growth and performance goals. We are looking for a hands‑on Senior AI Engineer to build the platform that makes that possible — the shared services, agent framework, standards and tooling that allow every engineer on the team to build and operate AI agents of their own. You will modernise our AI stack, create reusable AI services and agent infrastructure, automate critical operational workflows, and raise the AI capability of the engineers around you. Success is measured by what the rest of the team can build because of the foundation you put in place. You will also apply AI‑Native Engineering and Agentic SDLC practices to your own work — using AI coding agents, Spec‑Driven Development and automation to accelerate delivery while holding a high bar for quality, security and maintainability — and establish those practices as the team standard. From time to time you may contribute to customer‑facing AI capabilities in our product portfolio, but the centre of this role is internal platform, enablement and automation. AI Platform and Shared Services Build the foundation other engineers build on — reusable AI services, agent scaffolding, shared libraries, prompt and context management,



and integration patterns that let the team create agents without reinventing the groundwork. Modernise and own SafeFleet’s AI stack: model selection and routing, provider abstraction, cost and token governance, and a clear upgrade path as the technology moves. Design and implement RAG architectures, retrieval and indexing pipelines, and the data access patterns agents depend on. Establish AI evaluation, observability and guardrails — eval harnesses, regression testing for prompts and agents, tracing, quality and cost monitoring in production. Develop robust backend services and APIs that make AI capability consumable across teams. Automate critical operational workflows using AI — partnering with teams across Cloud Engineering to identify high‑toil processes and replace them with reliable, auditable agent‑driven automation. Enablement and Technical Leadership Mentor the engineering team on its AI journey — through pairing, workshops, documented patterns, internal guides and worked examples that move the whole group forward. Set AI engineering standards: architecture patterns, prompt and agent design conventions, testing expectations, security and data‑handling practice. Lead architecture and design discussions, review AI‑related work, and act as the technical reference point for AI across Cloud Engineering. AI‑Native Engineering and Agentic SDLC Apply AI‑Native Engineering throughout the development lifecycle, using AI coding agents, Spec‑Driven Development and automation to accelerate delivery. Build custom AI coding agents, reusable agent skills and automated workflows for implementation, testing, verification, code review and release. Salary Range: $120,000 - $140,000/yr + bonus Mid‑range offers reflect a solid match with the role’s technical and team-oriented requirements. We embrace diversity and do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or any other legally protected status. Our core values of integrity, innovation, teamwork, customer focus, and safety guide our efforts to provide a workplace where all employees can thrive and reach their full potential. 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong system design and software architecture skills. ~ Proven hands‑on experience building and deploying AI‑powered systems in production — not prototypes or proofs of concept.



~ Solid command of LLMs and transformer‑based models, prompt engineering, RAG architectures, AI agents and workflow orchestration. ~ Experience with modern AI platforms and services such as Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Claude, Google Gemini or equivalent. ~ Strong backend and cloud engineering experience, with hands‑on Microsoft Azure — our primary environment. Substantial AWS or GCP background is considered where it transfers. ~ Practical knowledge of Data Science and Machine Learning fundamentals, including model evaluation and performance trade‑offs. ~ Proficiency with AI coding agents such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor or equivalent, used as part of your daily engineering practice. ~ Hands‑on experience with AI‑Native Engineering and Agentic SDLC — Spec‑Driven Development, agent‑assisted implementation, automated testing and verification, and development automation. ~ Demonstrated ability to enable others — mentoring engineers, writing the patterns and documentation people actually use, and raising the technical capability of a team. ~ Solid problem‑solving, communication and cross‑functional collaboration skills, including advanced English for technical discussion with distributed teams and senior stakeholders. Experience building reusable AI services, shared AI platforms or internal developer platforms. Experience with AI agent orchestration frameworks and production ML pipelines. Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP), local or self‑hosted models, and Hugging Face. Experience developing custom AI coding agents, reusable agent skills, automated verification and CI/CD integration. Experience applying AI to infrastructure, operations or reliability workflows. Experience with Computer Vision, image or video analytics, deep learning or predictive Machine Learning. Experience delivering AI‑powered features in commercial software products. Familiarity with Agile delivery and experience in regulated or security‑conscious environments. Fields marked with * are mandatory.
