AI Builder – Staff Engineer
Toronto, CA
About The Job
Our client is a leading Canadian real estate technology platform with millions of users, growing fast, and rethinking how their products work in an AI-native world. This isn’t a traditional Staff Engineer seat. They’re looking for someone who sees broken systems, unclear workflows, or high-friction problems and wants to rebuild them, using strong engineering judgment and AI as a force multiplier.
You’ll stay deeply hands-on, own technical problems end-to-end, and work directly with leadership to identify high-impact opportunities, prototype fast, and ship systems that serve millions of users.
What You’ll Do
-
Own problems end-to-end, from root cause to working solution, whether that’s a product feature, a compliance process, a financial model, or an internal tool
-
Build AI-native workflows where AI is core to how things work, not bolted on
-
Move fast from idea to reality. Insight to working output in days, not weeks
-
Work with proprietary data and intelligence to create value for users and internal teams
-
Challenge and improve processes. If something is slow, manual, or outdated, redesign it
-
Work across boundaries. Engineering is home base, but you engage meaningfully with product, data, workflow design, and business context
What You Bring
We care about what you can build, not where you went to school.
-
A track record of shipping real systems from ambiguous problem to production outcome
-
AI fluency. You already use AI/LLM tools to expand what you can do, and you know where AI adds value vs. where human judgment is essential
-
Systems thinking. You see upstream causes and downstream effects, and you design solutions that work across boundaries
-
Data comfort. SQL, dashboards, metrics, spreadsheets. You’re not afraid of numbers
-
Clear communication. You explain complex decisions to people outside your domain
-
Production discipline. Testing, deployment, observability, iteration. You build things that are operable and safe to evolve
Nice to Have
-
Experience in real estate, proptech, or marketplace platforms
-
Background building or automating workflows that used to require a full team
-
Experience with AI/LLM tooling beyond basic chat: RAG, prompt engineering, automation pipelines
-
Comfort with technical tools, whether code, no-code, APIs, or data pipelines
What’s in It for You
-
Base: $150K–$220K CAD stock options
-
Comprehensive benefits (health, dental, life, virtual care, travel)
-
Generous vacation
-
Remote-friendly, flexible hours
