Job Title: STRIDE AI Engineer / Architect Location: Remote(25% Travel is required)For Canada location will be Toronto, ONFor USA location will be Princeton, NJRole Overview We are looking for an AI Engineer / Architect to design, build, and evolve an enterprise-grade AI platform that accelerates root cause analysis, secure automation, code intelligence, and quality engineering.This role blends AI engineering, software architecture, security-by-design (STRIDE), and platform thinking.You will work at the intersection of Generative AI, secure software development, auditability, and large-scale engineering systems. Key Responsibilities AI Platform & Architecture Design and evolve the AI platform architecture across RCA, code intelligence, QA automation, and monitoring. Apply threat modeling and secure-by-design principles to all AI workflows. Define reference architectures for: AI-assisted RCA Knowledge graphs & embeddings PR automation with human-in-the-loop AI-driven QA (Playwright + Claude/GPT) AI Engineering & Automation Build AI pipelines using LLMs (Claude, GPT) for: Root cause analysis Code understanding and fix suggestions Test case generation Implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and knowledge graph-based reasoning. Design prompt frameworks with guardrails, explainability, and audit logs. Code Intelligence & LLMOps Integration (Must have) Hands-on Coding (Mandatory): Strong, recent hands-on experience building production systems using Python (primary) and one of TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, or C#. This role codes regularly and owns delivered systems. Code Intelligence Systems: Proven experience building or integrating AST-based code analysis, dependency graphs, knowledge graphs, embeddings, and RAG pipelines for large, multi-repo codebases. Production LLMOps Ownership: Operated LLMs in production (Claude/GPT) with ownership of prompt versioning, evaluation, guardrails, cost controls, retries, fallbacks, and latency optimization. LLMOps CI/CD & Observability: Implemented CI/CD for prompts and models, automated regression tests for LLM outputs, telemetry (cost, quality, latency), tracing, and rollback strategies.
