About the Role

As a key member of the Architecture and Strategic Development team, you will design and plan CBC/Radio-Canada’s future technology infrastructure, integrating hybrid agents, video understanding systems, and advanced artificial intelligence architectures. We are looking for an AI Architect with deep technical expertise in optimizing training and inference for large language models, multimodal models, and AI systems in a media context. You will design robust systems to make AI faster, more scalable, and more reliable, ensuring seamless integration into our critical production ecosystems.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build high-performance training and inference systems for LLMs and multimodal AI models.
  • Optimize end-to-end training, including high throughput data pipelines, distributed training, and mixed precision.
  • Optimize inference and serving engines to guarantee minimum latency using KV caching design/management, batching, quantization, and long-context processing.
  • Collaborate with the Technology & Infrastructure (T&I) team to design, right-size, and evolve our internal GPU cluster into a new-generation infrastructure.
  • Plan, develop, and architect the integration of AI solutions within CBC/Radio-Canada’s media production environments.
  • Evaluate and standardize integration protocols such as Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent-to-agent (A2A) architectures.
  • Ensure absolute data security while developing video understanding systems that can interact with both file-based and IP live workflows.
  • Provide expert guidance on system efficiency, spearheading initiatives to dramatically improve architectural scalability, latency, and reliability.
  • Mentor and elevate the organization’s engineers and data scientists in large-scale ML system design and performance engineering.
  • Develop robust MLOps/LLMOps pipelines with a constant focus on observability, performance profiling, and automated testing.
  • Summarize and explain technological innovations to make them understandable to decision-makers and production teams and influence our strategic investments.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in software engineering, information technology, artificial intelligence, mathematics, or a related natural science field.
  • Functional bilingualism (English and French) essential for Canada-wide communications.
  • At least five years’ proven experience developing and deploying AI/ML solutions.
  • At least eight years’ experience building tools and platforms in a software engineering role.
  • Demonstrated experience working with language models and designing solutions optimized for cost efficiency and scale.
  • Strong conceptual understanding of LLM, RAG, and AI agent architectures, including their frameworks and operational constraints.
  • Experience selecting AI framework architectures, cloud platforms, and orchestration tools for scalable enterprise AI solutions.
  • Knowledge of ModelOps, AI engineering, DevOps, and MLOps practices (including CI/CD pipelines).
  • Solid understanding of machine learning and deep learning fundamentals.
  • Strong technical documentation skills, with the ability to produce diagrams, demos, and technical artifacts that make AI architectures understandable and actionable.
  • Hands-on technical experience working with media production platforms (MAM/PAM) and designing scalable solutions in a highly available, 24/7 environment.
  • Solid working knowledge of cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, or GCP), virtualization, networking, and storage.
  • Candidates may be subject to skills and knowledge testing.
  • Candidates who advance to the next step will be asked to complete a background check, including a mandatory Criminal record check.
  • Other background checks may be conducted based on the operational requirements of the position.
