The posting

Overview:

Guidepoint is investing in applied AI across its research platform. We're building conversational AI systems that interact with our global expert network at scale — combining real-time voice, LLM-driven orchestration, and retrieval over large proprietary datasets.

You'll be an early engineer on a new initiative: taking working prototypes to production and shaping the architecture as the product scope grows. This is a hands-on role with broad ownership, close to product and leadership.

This role is hybrid in our Toronto Office

What You'll Do:

  • Real-time conversational AI: voice- and chat-based agents with low-latency requirements, built on modern telephony and real-time media infrastructure.
  • LLM orchestration: agentic systems that pursue goals over multi-turn conversations, with hard behavioral guarantees enforced in code — not just prompts.
  • Multi-channel session management: stateful user interactions that move seamlessly across channels.
  • Retrieval and grounding: connecting LLM systems to large internal knowledge assets, with structured data flowing back.
  • Evaluation infrastructure: measuring conversational quality against human baselines and gating rollouts on metrics, not vibes.
  • Own services end-to-end: design, implementation, deployment (Kubernetes/Azure), and operations, including latency-sensitive real-time workloads.
  • Design and tune LLM pipelines: context engineering, structured outputs, model selection, cost/latency tradeoffs across vendors.
  • Build the eval loop and treat quality as a number: define metrics, run experiments, gate releases on them.
  • Integrate third-party AI and voice vendors behind clean abstractions so providers stay swappable.
  • Partner with product and compliance stakeholders to encode domain rules into the system.
  • Set engineering patterns for a growing team: code review, observability, incident habits.

What You Have:

  • 6+ years of software engineering, with 2+ years building LLM-powered products in production (not notebooks): orchestration, RAG/grounding, structured outputs, eval-driven iteration.
  • Strong TypeScript or Python; comfortable working across both.
  • Real-time or streaming systems experience: WebSockets, WebRTC, audio pipelines, or comparable low-latency work.
  • Cloud-native production experience: containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability. Azure a plus.
  • Familiarity with agent/LLM frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, or CrewAI — hands-on exposure is enough; we care that you know the landscape and when plain code beats a framework.
  • Working familiarity with vector databases and embedding-based retrieval.
  • Pragmatic product judgment: you scope prototypes, kill weak approaches with data, and ship.

Nice-to-have:

  • Voice AI: telephony platforms, conversational agent frameworks, STT/TTS, turn-taking/VAD.
  • Knowledge graphs or large-scale search/retrieval systems.
  • Regulated or compliance-sensitive domains (healthcare, finance).
  • Eval harnesses or LLM-as-judge systems.

What We Offer:

The annual base salary range for this position is 175,000-210,000 CAD. Additionally, this position is eligible for an annual discretionary bonus based on performance.

You will also be eligible for the following benefits:

  • Paid time off
  • Comprehensive benefits plan
  • Company RRSP match
  • Development opportunities through the LinkedIn Learning platform

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
