Agentic-AI Software Engineer

 About the Opportunity

We're looking for top-tier engineers - the best of the best - who use modern AI development tools (Claude Code, Codex etc) and multi-agent workflows to build and manage large custom applications at scale. This is a hands-on role for someone with 1-3 years of experience who wants to operate at the frontier of AI-assisted development, ship production software, and learn fast alongside an exceptional team.

You'll join the FPdev.ai team within FP Partners (fppartners.ca), which builds custom solutions for our portfolio companies - from internal applications and data infrastructure to refactoring large SaaS platforms to modern architecture. You'll work alongside our Private Equity and Private Debt teams to ship real-world software that drives meaningful business results.

Responsibilities

·  Build and manage large custom applications at scale - internal platforms, data pipelines, and operational tooling - across our portfolio companies.

·  Use AI coding assistants and multi-agent workflows to ship faster - we value problem-solving ability and velocity over memorizing syntax.

·  Refactor and modernize large SaaS applications - migrating legacy codebases to clean, scalable, modern architecture.

·  Move quickly from concept to prototype to production - launch, measure, and iterate.

·  Collaborate with business users to understand requirements, showcase solutions, and ensure adoption.

· Measure and communicate impact using a clear framework: establish baselines, implement changes, and document results.

Qualifications

Essential Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Applied Math, Engineering, Statistics, Physics, or related quantitative discipline (Master's preferred).
• Experience & track record: 1-3 years shipping production software, paired with a standout record of excellence - first-class standing, Dean's Honours, top-of-class, or comparable signals of being among the best at what you do.
• Communication excellence (critical):
• • Ability to produce clear written documentation (requirement specs, one-pagers, technical guides).
  • Strong verbal skills - comfortable presenting demos, scoping projects, and bridging technical and business perspectives.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to decompose complex, ambiguous challenges into actionable steps.
• Strong programming fundamentals and an AI-native approach - fluent with AI coding assistants and multi-agent workflows to build, manage, and ship applications at scale.
• Drive and learning agility - action-oriented, intensely curious, and energized by experimentation and fast, data-driven iteration. Cultural fit and drive matter as much as raw skill.

Valued Experience

· Hands-on work with Python, SQL, and JavaScript/TypeScript, plus modern web frameworks.

· Experience refactoring or modernizing legacy codebases and large SaaS applications.

· Production experience with AI development tools and agentic workflows (Claude, Codex, Cursor, multi-agent orchestration).

· Background in a high-performance environment - a top startup, technology company, consulting firm, or finance.

Why This Role Stands Out

· Modern development approach: Build and manage large applications at scale using cutting-edge AI agents and multi-agent workflows.

· Direct impact: Your work directly influences operational efficiency and bottom-line results.

· Diverse challenges: Work across varied industries, codebases, and problems - constant learning and variety.

·  Learn fast: work shoulder-to-shoulder with an exceptional team of operators and technical leaders who've built and scaled real software.

What “Strong Communication” Looks Like Here

·  Requirements gathering: Lead focused discovery sessions and document success criteria clearly.

· Documentation: Create concise, well-structured briefs following a Problem → Solution → Trade-offs → Success Metrics format.

· Presentations: Demonstrate value through storytelling - show the before state, your solution, and the measured improvement with live examples.

·  User enablement: Develop release notes, setup guides, and onboarding materials that non-technical teams find intuitive.

·  Stakeholder management: Present options and timelines in plain language, facilitating informed decision-making. 

We're looking for the best of the best. If you're a top-tier builder who communicates clearly, learns relentlessly, and ships at scale with AI - and you'll thrive in a high-drive, high-trust team - we want to hear from you.
