Joignez-vous à une équipe qui transforme l’expérience numérique du secteur Retraite Canada grâce à l’ingénierie logicielle moderne et à l’intelligence artificielle.

À titre d’ingénieur(e) logiciel senior – Retraite Canada (IA/AA et cycle de développement logiciel agentique), vous concevrez, développerez et maintiendrez des applications et des services qui soutiennent les activités de retraite au Canada. Ce poste combine de solides compétences en développement logiciel avec une expérience pratique en intelligence artificielle et en apprentissage automatique (IA/AA), ainsi qu’avec l’utilisation de pratiques agentiques tout au long du cycle de développement logiciel.

Vous collaborerez étroitement avec les équipes Produit, Affaires et Architecture afin de livrer de nouvelles fonctionnalités, moderniser les plateformes existantes et mettre en œuvre des solutions et des flux de développement propulsés par l’IA.

Principales responsabilités

  • Concevoir, développer, tester et maintenir des composantes logicielles et des services qui soutiennent les produits, les opérations et l’expérience client de Retraite Canada.

  • Concevoir et mettre en œuvre des solutions d’IA, notamment des services fondés sur la génération augmentée par récupération (RAG), des assistants ou outils-conseils intelligents et des solutions d’automatisation destinées aux processus de retraite.
  • Utiliser des outils d’IA pour accélérer et améliorer la génération de code, la création de tests, la documentation et la refactorisation, tout en respectant des normes rigoureuses de gouvernance, de sécurité et de qualité.
  • Collaborer avec les responsables techniques, les architectes et les partenaires d’affaires afin de comprendre les besoins, préciser les récits utilisateurs et contribuer à la conception des solutions.
  • Rédiger du code propre, maintenable et bien documenté, conformément aux normes, aux modèles d’architecture et aux pratiques exemplaires établis.
  • Concevoir et maintenir des tests automatisés, notamment des tests unitaires, d’intégration et de bout en bout, afin d’assurer la qualité et la fiabilité des solutions.
  • Participer aux revues de code et fournir une rétroaction constructive afin d’améliorer la qualité du code et la conception des solutions.
  • Contribuer aux pipelines CI/CD et aux pratiques DevOps, notamment la compilation, le déploiement, la surveillance et le soutien aux incidents.
  • Soutenir les systèmes en production en analysant les incidents, en déterminant leurs causes fondamentales et en mettant en œuvre des correctifs et des améliorations.
  • Contribuer à réduire la dette technique en refactorisant le code, en améliorant les performances et en simplifiant les composantes complexes ou existantes.
  • Veiller à ce que les solutions respectent les exigences en matière de sécurité, de protection de la vie privée et de conformité, particulièrement en ce qui concerne la protection des données des clients.
  • Participer activement aux cérémonies Agile, notamment les rencontres quotidiennes, le raffinement du carnet de produit, la planification et les rétrospectives.

Qualifications requises

  • Expérience à titre d’ingénieur(e) logiciel, de développeur(-euse) ou dans un rôle comparable, avec une expérience concrète dans la conception et le soutien de systèmes en production. Une expérience dans les services financiers ou l’assurance constitue un atout important.
  • Expérience pratique en programmation avec un ou plusieurs langages modernes, notamment Java, C#, Python ou un langage comparable.
  • Expérience pratique avec des outils et des cadres d’IA et d’apprentissage automatique, dans un contexte où vous avez personnellement conçu, développé ou intégré les solutions.
