The department’s name reflects its commitment to quality and operational excellence.

About the job:

• Design, build, and deploy AI-powered applications and intelligent agents that solve real HR problems.
• Develop and integrate LLM-based solutions into HR workflows, including prompt engineering, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, and vector databases for internal knowledge bases.
• Build and maintain AI agent frameworks with human-in-the-loop (HITL) safeguards for sensitive HR decisions, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and elimination of hallucinations.
• Rapidly prototype new AI solutions using modern AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate iteration and deployment.
• Design and implement secure system integrations between HRIS platforms, ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems), and other enterprise tools.
• Build automated workflows connecting HR systems with operational tools using automation platforms and custom scripts. Write custom scripts to handle complex data transformation, API orchestration, error handling, and monitoring across the HR technology stack.

• Design secure APIs and integrations with appropriate access controls (RBAC/ABAC), secrets management, and audit logging.
• Conduct rigorous testing of AI systems to ensure they safely handle sensitive employee and candidate PII (Personally Identifiable Information). Ensure all AI-driven systems strictly comply with data-privacy regulations.
• Collaborate with IT security and data-governance teams to maintain enterprise standards for security, privacy, and compliance.

• Ability to translate complex technical AI/ML concepts into clear, actionable recommendations for non-technical HR stakeholders. Strong written documentation skills.
• Experience with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot) as a core part of the development workflow.
• Experience with Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI, Power Platform, or Google Workspace AI integrations. Familiarity with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector) and embedding models.
• Experience with people analytics, HR data pipelines, or reporting tools (Power BI, Tableau).
• Knowledge of Canadian employment law and privacy regulations (PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, BC PIPA).
