About the Role

As a Staff Engineer on the ASEDA team, you'll be at the center of RBC's most ambitious AI bet — building the agentic AI and generative AI systems that are transforming how the enterprise operates. You'll design and ship MCP servers, agent orchestration pipelines, and RAG systems that connect large language models to the enterprise. This is a role where your code ships, your architecture decisions stick, and your ideas shape how AI is adopted at scale.

Responsibilities

Build agentic AI systems end-to-end — design and implement agent orchestration, MCP servers, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent workflows that run reliably in production
Set technical direction — make architecture decisions on how agents interact with tools, manage context, route between models, and recover from failures
Ship production AI — write clean, well-tested Python code for systems that real users and business teams depend on every day
Drive quality and safety — build evaluation frameworks, prompt versioning, guardrails, and observability so agent behavior stays reliable across model updates
Enable other teams — create reusable components, run enablement sessions, and mentor engineers on agentic AI patterns and best practices
Stay at the frontier — evaluate emerging models, frameworks, and protocols (MCP, A2A) and bring the best ideas back to the team

Requirements

5-8 years building production software systems
1-3 years working hands-on with LLMs and generative AI in production
Solid experience with agentic AI patterns — tool use, agent orchestration, ReAct, multi-step reasoning, memory and context management
Strong Python skills and a commitment to writing clean, maintainable, production-grade code
Experience building RAG systems with vector databases, embeddings, and retrieval strategies
Working knowledge of MCP or similar agent-tool integration frameworks
Comfort with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containers (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD
Proven ability to lead technically — driving cross-team decisions, reviewing architecture, mentoring engineers
Clear communicator who can explain complex AI trade-offs to both technical and business audiences
Understanding of security, data governance, and responsible AI practices
Experience with agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, CrewAI)
Hands-on with AI observability tooling (LangSmith, LangFuse, Weights & Biases)
Familiarity with multi-agent protocols (A2A) and the broader MCP ecosystem
Background in NLP, information retrieval, or knowledge graphs
Experience with prompt/context engineering at scale — versioning, evaluation, and reproducibility
