This job posting is for an existing vacancy We’re looking for our next Principal AI Engineer. Could It Be You?The Principal AI Engineer is a comprehensive, hybrid role requiring deep full-stack engineering discipline. You will be responsible for embedding foundational AI models into our high-frequency trading platforms, fine-tuning and optimizing models for low-latency financial contexts, and architecting autonomous, self-correcting agent systems that can handle complex multi-step investing workflows.Need more details? Keep reading… In this role, responsibilities include but are not limited to:   AI Systems Engineering:

Build and maintain the underlying infrastructure required to deploy AI within a high-performance brokerage environment. Design scalable REST/gRPC APIs, manage vector embeddings of market data, and integrate LLM orchestration layers cleanly with Questrade’s existing C#/.NET microservices, Angular/Next.js frontends, and GCP cloud infrastructure. Consistently evaluate emerging AI trends and frameworks to build new and better ways for the platform to remain a market leader.

Model Optimization & Productionization:

Adapt open-source and frontier models to the nuances of Canadian financial markets. You will fine-tune models (using LoRA/QLoRA) on proprietary market research, client portfolios, and compliance data. Optimize models for maximum throughput and minimum latency to ensure real-time response times in active trading dashboards.

Autonomous Brokerage Workflows:

Design and implement stateful multi-agent systems using frameworks like LangGraph or custom runtime loops. Build autonomous "digital investment assistants" capable of multi-step execution—such as checking account balances, querying market data streams, analyzing asset allocations against a user’s risk profile, drafting rebalancing orders, and routing them safely to human validation queues.

Guardrails, Compliance & Auditing:

In a heavily regulated brokerage space, safety is non-negotiable. Implement strict deterministic guardrails, prompt injection defenses, and real-time automated audit frameworks using Kafka data streams. Ensure all AI actions are auditable, verifiable, and adhere to strict regulators and privacy compliance standards.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:• Partner closely with software and data engineering squads, product managers, and  cybersecurity to embed intelligence capabilities smoothly into brokerage products.• Communicate complex technological concepts and algorithmic logic clearly to non- technical business partners.So are YOU our next Principal AI Engineer?

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.
