CapIntel is a software platform built for wealth management enterprises to help financial advisors explain complex investment strategies to their clients. Advisors at some of the biggest banks across North America are winning trust by using CapIntel to easily compare investments and create compelling, educational presentations. Ultimately, we're focused on investors getting better service, understanding their investments, and feeling at ease knowing their future is secure. Since launching in 2019, CapIntel has seen rapid adoption and industry recognition, earning top placements in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 Canada and Fast 500 North America in 2025, ranking us among the fastest-growing technology companies. To support this momentum, we’re growing our team rapidly—investing in people who drive innovation at scale to expand our impact across the North American wealth management industry. ## What You'll Do
Design and implement LLM-powered features into our core application via model APIs (e.g. Anthropic, OpenAI, Cohere), with a focus on reliability and production-readiness
Architect and maintain retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, connecting language models to internal knowledge bases, databases, and live data sources
Manage context window strategy, determining what information enters the model, when, in what format, and at what level of compression to optimise for accuracy, cost, and latency
Design and implement agentic workflows enabling the platform to handle multi-step, autonomous tasks
Build guardrail and output validation layers that constrain model behaviour and ensure AI features act within well-defined, compliant boundaries
Develop reusable agent primitives, prompt templates, and workflow components that other engineers can build on independently
Build evaluation frameworks to measure context effectiveness, output quality, and agent reliability in production
Monitor deployed AI systems for failure patterns and implement mitigation strategies, feeding learnings back into continuous improvement cycles
Collaborate with Product, Product Engineering, Implementation, and Data teams to translate business requirements, and proof of concepts into production AI system specifications
Act as an internal practitioner and resource helping upskill the broader engineering team on context engineering principles and agentic best practices
What We're Looking For
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 1–2 years working with LLMs in a production context
Strong experience with Python or Node and building API-integrated backend services
Hands-on experience with an orchestration or execution framework
Working knowledge of RAG architecture, vector databases (e.g. Pinecone, pgVector, AWS OpenSearch), and semantic search
Familiarity with context management techniques: summarisation, chunking, session splitting, and memory strategies
Experience building or consuming REST APIs and integrating with third-party services
Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
Strong problem-solving instincts and a willingness to learn and adapt as the field evolves
Nice to Have
Experience with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar tool-integration standards
Familiarity with LLMOps practices: tracing, observability (e.g. LangSmith, Datadog), and model versioning
Exposure to multi-agent architectures and orchestration patterns
Knowledge of AI output validation, context safety, and governance considerations particularly relevant in regulated industries like financial services
Familiarity with AWS or cloud-based infrastructure and containerised deployments (Docker, Kubernetes)
Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical partners
