They work directly with mid-to-large enterprises to design and deploy production-grade generative AI and agentic systems - helping organizations move beyond consumer-grade AI experimentation and into secure, governed, enterprise-ready solutions built on Google Cloud.\nThis is a nimble, high-agency environment. The team is small, the clients are real, and the problems are genuinely unsolved. You won't be maintaining someone else's roadmap - you'll be helping build one.\nThe Role\nThis is a founding technical role within the company's North American AI practice. You'll be the primary architect and solutions engineer driving customer engagements from initial conversation through to solution design and handoff to the delivery team. Think less \"hands-down-in-the-IDE\" and more forward-deployed technical expert - someone who can sit across from a CIO, understand their business problem, and translate it into a credible, production-ready AI solution on GCP.\nYou'll work closely with the founding leadership team and will have meaningful input into how the practice is built, which frameworks get adopted, and what the company's AI IP evolves into.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nLeading technical discovery and solution design for enterprise AI engagements, primarily on Google Cloud (Vertex AI, Gemini Enterprise)\nArchitecting agentic AI systems that integrate with enterprise data sources - ERP systems, legacy platforms, modern data infrastructure - with full consideration for security, governance, data quality, and authorization frameworks\nTranslating complex business logic into scalable, production-grade AI solutions and communicating those designs clearly to both technical and business stakeholders\nCollaborating with and directing offshore delivery teams to bring architectures to life\nContributing to and evolving the company's existing AI IP and accelerators\nStaying sharp on the rapidly shifting agentic AI landscape - frameworks, tooling, and emerging best practices - and bringing that knowledge to bear for clients who are looking to you for guidance\nWhat You Bring\nDeep, hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform - Vertex AI, Model Garden, Gemini - and a strong understanding of what enterprise GCP deployment actually looks like in practice\nProven experience building agentic AI systems - multi-step reasoning, tool use, state management, workflow orchestration - not just LLM prompting\nStrong software engineering fundamentals - you understand that AI is maybe 20% of the solution; the rest is robust, scalable, maintainable engineering\nFluency across the enterprise AI considerations that actually matter in production: data governance, security, authentication/authorization, auditability, privacy\nExperience working with or integrating enterprise data sources - ERP systems, legacy platforms, databases - and understanding how to make that data AI-ready\nExcellent communication skills - you can hold a room with a CIO as comfortably as you can whiteboard an architecture with an engineering team\nComfortable with ambiguity, ownership, and operating without a large supporting cast\nNice to Have\nFamiliarity with other cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) - cloud literacy translates\nExposure to additional agentic frameworks (LangGraph, ADK, CrewAI) or other AI ecosystems (Anthropic, OpenAI)\nBackground in consulting, systems integration, or pre-sales solutions engineering\nThe Setup\nMostly remote with a downtown Toronto office available; occasional in-person team meetups (roughly monthly)\nCompensation details to be confirmed - expect a package commensurate with the seniority and scope of this role\nFull-time permanent position\nWho Thrives Here\nYou've got enterprise pedigree - you've seen how large organizations actually work, what governance looks like at scale, and why \"just build a chatbot\" isn't a real answer. But you're not waiting for six approvals to make a decision. You move fast, you think broadly, and you're genuinely excited about being first in the door on problems that most companies are still figuring out how to frame.\nCompensation\nThe base pay range for this role is CA$175 - CA$220 per year.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4386,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T03:57:46Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":3,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.097,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":186,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/syndesus-senior-ai-solutions-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/syndesus-senior-ai-solutions-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T20:04:15Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24146,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4420272},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4420272"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsyndesus-senior-ai-solutions-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsyndesus-senior-ai-solutions-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsyndesus-senior-ai-solutions-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/syndesus-senior-ai-solutions-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsyndesus-senior-ai-solutions-engineer"}]}
