Interested in joining one of Canada's top-performing asset managers? We're hiring an
AI Solution Engineer in our AI Solutions engineering team. You build the AI systems that Connor, Clark & Lunn Financial Group and our affiliate teams use in day-to-day work. You turn
signed-off specifications into
production-ready AI assistants, agents, and workflow automations. You own build quality, reliability, safety, traceability, and maintainability, and partner closely with Data Engineering and MLOps to ship responsibly in a regulated financial services environment. We operate on a hybrid model with three days a week in-office to facilitate team collaboration.
What You Will Do- Build AI assistants and agents end-to-end from a signed-off spec, retrieval, tool integrations, prompt logic, source citation, and workflow integration
- Design and maintain retrieval pipelines, chunking strategy, metadata schema, indexing, access controls, and query optimization
- Engineer prompts with discipline, write, test, evaluate, and iterate; document failure modes and edge cases
- Own code quality and handoff, version artifacts, write tests where appropriate, and maintain clean, reviewable documentation
- Partner with Data Engineering to make data retrieval-ready, define ingestion needs, document assumptions, and validate data quality impacts
- Deploy through standard MLOps pipelines, monitoring/alerting, rollback readiness, cost controls, and operational runbooks
- Collaborate with affiliate teams during builds, demo real increments, capture feedback, and incorporate changes without breaking scope
- Document known limitations, risks, and mitigations before UAT, set expectations and prevent surprises for business stakeholders
What You Will Bring - Strong Python skills with experience shipping LLM applications end-to-end (build, test, deploy, and operate)
- Hands-on RAG experience, document processing, vector databases/search, and retrieval evaluation (precision/recall, grounding quality)
- Experience with agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex or equivalents), including tool use, orchestration, and multi-step flows
- Experience on enterprise AI platforms (e.g., Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, Anthropic APIs), including security and cost/performance trade-offs
- Prompt engineering fundamentals, structured prompting, output constraints, adversarial/failure-mode testing, and reproducibility
- Comfort working with semi-structured/unstructured data (PDFs, financial docs, emails, notes) and translating it into retrieval-ready assets
- Delivery mindset and strong written communication, hold scope, write clear technical documentation, and finish to production-quality
