AI Delivery Engineer, Developer Experience
$130,000–$180,000 year
HybridToronto, Ontario, Canada
Job Summary
Own work end to end: take a problem from definition through technical design, build, iteration, and long-term support without needing a spec handed to you. Design and ship backend systems, data models, and agentic frameworks that scale. Use AI as the primary delivery tool for building product: direct it through generation, apply engineering judgment to validate the output, and hold the bar on what ships. Look for more ways to improve speed, cost efficiency, and MCP adoption. Set and reinforce engineering practices through code and spec reviews, testing standards, and technical decisions that other developers can learn from. Translate developer and business intent into technical solutions, surfacing tradeoffs and risks early so the team makes better decisions. Mentor developers on the squad through feedback and technical guidance.
Required Qualifications
- Production ownership: you've shipped and supported software that real customers depend on, made technical decisions under pressure, and lived with the consequences long enough to learn from them
- A demonstrated history of MCP server usage and creation, moving beyond simple connectors to building out orchestrated workflows that take advantage of the context a particular server can provide
- Demonstrated AI fluency in your actual delivery workflow: you use AI to ship product faster, direct it deliberately, and hold a consistent bar on what makes it through review
- The ability to move from ambiguous input to clear, maintainable solution in large codebases where the answer wasn't obvious and the cost of getting it wrong was real
- Communication that works across the org: you can articulate a tradeoff decision clearly to a EM, other senior/staff/principal developers, and drive alignment with leadership without needing to be managed through the conversation
- Self-awareness about your own gaps and growth edges: at this level, knowing what isn't working and adjusting is part of how you make better decisions, not a bonus trait
- A consistent track record of making the people around you better: through mentorship, code reviews, surfacing technical context others can actually act on, and helping less experienced developers think through problems rather than just solving them for them
Desired Qualifications
- Experience building out an agentic harness or agentic control plane.
