Our IT Innovation & Enablement team helps teams across IT adopt emerging AI technologies securely, practically and at scale. As a Lead Agentic AI Engineer, reporting to the Program Lead, Innovation Enablement, you will be accountable for developing systems that are secure, reliable, reusable, and useful across IT. You will own initiatives end to end from discovery and architecture through approval, delivery, rollout, iteration, and operational handoff.
This is not an AI research role, and we are not looking to hire just advisors; this is a hands-on technical role.
We cultivate a culture that emphasizes innovation, collaboration, practicality, and the courage to challenge the status quo. This role is well suited to someone who combines technical depth with curiosity, sound judgment, product thinking, systems thinking, and a willingness to test new ideas. You will look beyond immediate symptoms, identify underlying needs, and develop solutions that are secure, sustainable, and valuable in delivering the pension promise. Success in this role requires the ability to navigate ambiguity, ask thoughtful questions, and turn emerging technologies into practical solutions that deliver measurable business impact.
The expected annual base salary range for this role is: $86,000 - $131,000 CAD
This job posting is for a newly created role.
