Senior AI Cloud Engineer

A new frontier is opening in AI-powered cloud automation—and this is a chance to be on the ground floor in Montreal. As one of the founding engineers, you’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the company’s leadership to turn research breakthroughs into resilient, production-grade systems. This isn’t maintenance. It’s invention. From hardening production environments to writing robust code and engineering orchestration pipelines, you’ll shape a platform designed to change how the cloud is managed.

The role demands range: deep technical chops in Kubernetes, Terraform, and distributed systems, plus the creativity to experiment and build AI-driven infrastructure that scales. It’s a high-energy opportunity for an engineer who thrives in ambiguity, loves debugging tough problems, and wants their fingerprints on a system designed to grow fast.
