Description
About ShyftLabs
At ShyftLabs, we live and breathe data. Since 2020, we've been helping Fortune 500 companies unlock growth with cutting-edge digital solutions that transform industries and create measurable business impact. We're scaling globally with entities in Canada, the U.S., and India and we're looking for passionate problem-solvers who are ready to turn big ideas into real outcomes.
The Opportunity
ShyftLabs is looking for a Senior AI Engineer to sit at the intersection of AI/ML engineering and backend platform development. This isn't a research role, it's a hands-on engineering position where you'll design, build, and ship AI-powered features directly into production systems. You'll work closely with Product, Architecture, and cross-functional engineering teams to integrate intelligent capabilities into our next generation of data-driven platforms, while also contributing to the scalable backend infrastructure that powers them.
The ideal candidate combines deep AI/ML engineering experience with strong backend development skills, someone equally comfortable fine-tuning an LLM integration as they are designing a robust API or event-driven service.
