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 opportunity 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 WILL YOU 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 DO 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
• Strong 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
