About this role
About the Role This role leads the delivery of agentic AI solutions at Tangerine/Scotiabank, acting as the technical lead for AI use cases and owning technical decomposition, delivery coordination, dependency management, and execution quality from concept through production. You will build partnerships with business domains to translate requirements into realistic timelines and features, and you will design, build, and productionize LLM-powered and agentic applications while ensuring security, reliability, and governance. What You'll Do
- Deliver and Scale Agentic AI Solutions: serve as the technical lead and primary engineering point for AI use cases within the focus area, owning technical decomposition, delivery coordination, dependency management, and execution quality from concept through production.
- Build partnerships with business domains to demonstrate the art of possible and translate business requirements to delivery timelines and features.
- Design, build, and productionize LLM-powered and agentic applications, including retrievalaugmented generation (RAG), multi-step reasoning workflows, structured outputs, and prompt safety.
- Work hands-on to de-risk complex problems by writing, reviewing, and operating production-grade AI systems.
- Architect Secure, Reliable, and Observable Systems.
- Align use case design with platform patterns, governance expectations, and operational support models.
- Ensure systems are testable, observable, and resilient, with automated testing and clear operational feedback loops.
- Design and operate secure, low-latency services and microservices with modern authentication and authorization.
- Contribute to architectural discussions, platform capabilities, and evolving best practices for AI development.
- Collaborate with platform, security, and risk partners to ensure systems meet enterprise compliance, operational, and governance standards.
- Influence Technical Direction and Engineering Culture: take ambiguous problems and translate them into clear technical solutions, communicate trade-offs and constraints; mentor peers; contribute reusable patterns and architectural guidance across AI initiatives. What We're Looking For
- Experience leading complex AI initiatives across multiple stakeholders.
- Ability to translate business requirements to delivery timelines and features.
- Strong technical leadership across architecture, governance, security, and platform patterns.
- A commitment to engineering excellence, inclusion, and continuous learning—root-cause analysis and durable lessons.
- Ability to mentor peers, influence engineering culture, and drive reusable patterns across AI initiatives.
