Job description
Senior Java Engineer (Architect / Technical Lead) Agentic AI
Location: Toronto, ON (Hybrid 3 days/week onsite)
Job Type: 6-Month Contract (Extension up to 12 months possible) or Full-Time (FTE)
About The Role
We are seeking highly experienced, hands-on Senior Java Engineers with strong Software Engineering, Architecture, and Technical Leadership experience to join an innovation-driven team building next-generation Agentic AI solutions.
This is not a traditional feature development role. We are looking for engineers who can independently take a business problem or product idea, evaluate technology options, architect the solution, build production-quality software, and deliver end-to-end outcomes with minimal direction.
You will thrive in an environment where the destination is clear, but the implementation path is not. Success in this role requires strong technical judgment, hands-on coding expertise, and the ability to leverage modern AI-powered development tools.
