AI Solutions Engineer

Overview Interested in joining one of Canada’s top performing asset managers? We are looking for an AI Solutions Engineer to join our IS Department. Connor, Clark & Lunn Financial Group are building an AI Enablement Team to accelerate the responsible and scalable adoption of AI across the firm. The AI Solutions Engineer will be the technical lead and enabler — designing, prototyping, and operationalizing AI solutions while building the frameworks, best practices, and toolkits that allow others to succeed with AI. This role goes beyond building models. You will empower business stakeholders and technology teams to use AI responsibly, integrate agentic AI into workflows, and grow organizational capability. You will balance rapid experimentation with enterprise-grade architecture to ensure long-term business value. What You Will Do Rapidly design and iterate on prototypes using LLMs, embeddings, RAG pipelines, and agent-based frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, etc.). Translate complex business challenges into AI-enabled workflows and decision-support tools. Build modular, reusable components (prompts, agents, connectors, evaluation harnesses) that other teams can adopt. Agentic AI Enablement Develop and operationalize AI agents for workflow automation, decision-making, and orchestration across business systems. Implement guardrails, monitoring, and feedback loops to ensure reliable, safe, and compliant agent behavior. Design human-in-the-loop mechanisms to balance autonomy with accountability. Partner with business SMEs, data engineers, and governance leads to co-develop solutions that are impactful and compliant. Run workshops, training sessions, and co-creation labs to build AI literacy and enable teams to experiment responsibly. Act as a trusted advisor to business leaders, showcasing how AI can improve investment, operational, and client outcomes. Deployment & Lifecycle Management Work with platform teams to deploy models securely on Azure, AWS, or OpenAI APIs, integrating with existing enterprise systems. Establish CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, rollback, and documentation for production AI. Continuously evaluate and recommend emerging tools, frameworks, and platforms that advance CC&LFG’s AI maturity. What You Bring Proven hands-on experience with large language models (LLMs), embeddings, RAG pipelines, and generative AI workflows. Strong background in agentic AI frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen, Hugging Face, or similar). Expertise with cloud AI platforms (Azure OpenAI, Azure ML, AWS Bedrock, OpenAI API Platform). Understanding of AI evaluation metrics, interpretability, ethical AI, and compliance. Ability to translate business needs into AI workflows and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A growth and enablement mindset: passionate about teaching, upskilling teams, and building a culture of responsible AI adoption. At CC&LFG, you’ll be part of a team that doesn’t just deliver AI solutions — we enable the business to adopt and scale AI responsibly. You’ll pioneer the use of agentic AI in financial services, creating frameworks that help teams innovate while staying aligned with compliance and governance. This role is your opportunity to shape the next generation of AI adoption in a global financial services firm — balancing experimentation, enablement, and enterprise-grade execution.
