Build better healthcare together
Maple’s purpose is to meet the world's healthcare needs. We’re Canada's leading on-demand healthcare platform, connecting patients with Canadian-licensed doctors, nurse practitioners and specialists. Today, we’re proud that over 8 million patients and 7,000 businesses and government partners have access to same-day, proactive and ongoing care. We enable people to take control of their health and push the boundaries of what’s possible every day.
Bold minds. Big impact. A career at Maple is about making an impact. We empower bold thinking, surround you with an inspiring team and are driven by a motivating purpose. Here, you’ll do work that changes lives—including your own.
The role
Your responsibilities
- Set the guardrails, evaluation strategy, and observability standards that keep AI feature quality, safety, and technical health high across the product
- Shape the model and provider strategy, usage patterns, and cost controls that keep AI unit economics healthy as we scale
- Define the evaluation strategy, agent execution architecture, and reference patterns that the teams building and maintaining AI features build to
- Mentor and coach squads and engineers across the org so they can safely do more of the AI work themselves, against Maple's standards
- Partner with Product and Engineering squads on agentic feature development as a senior technical partner and reviewer
- Co-define the AI governance model with Security, Privacy, Legal, and Clinical partners — including review criteria, PHI handling expectations, and escalation paths
- Translate technical AI choices — cost, clinician efficiency, patient experience, and risk — into clear business outcomes for executive and cross-functional audiences
What success looks like
What you bring
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years in a Staff applied AI or ML engineering role

- A strong track record designing evaluation strategies for non-deterministic systems — offline evals, online evals, human-in-the-loop, regression harnesses
- Deep understanding of agent execution patterns (tool use, planning, memory, orchestration frameworks) and their trade-offs
- Experience defining AI quality and monitoring practices — quality metrics, hallucination and safety controls, drift detection, incident response
- A builder's mindset — a product engineer with deep empathy for user and customer impact, comfortable getting hands-on with code, prototypes, and reference implementations
- Proven ability to influence — mentoring senior engineers, setting standards across squads, and partnering with platform teams
