Senior Engineer - AI Platform & Runtime

Land Administration Company Inc. (LAC)

Every functioning economy depends on knowing, with certainty, who owns, uses

and holds rights to land. When that information is inaccurate, incomplete or

unavailable, the consequences are serious: disputed titles, stalled transactions,

lost public revenue and eroded trust in government. The Land Administration

Company Inc. (LAC), based in Vancouver, exists to prevent those failures. It

provides mission-critical software and specialist services that help governments

and large institutions modernise and safeguard the systems they use to manage

land, titles, parcels and regulatory processes.

At the heart of LAC's offering is LAVA, its proprietary cloud-native platform. LAVA

serves as the authoritative system of record for land governance, bringing together

land titles, cadastral and spatial data, legal instruments, regulatory compliance

and operational workflows in one secure, highly reliable environment. It supports

the full scope of land registry and cadastral operations, including first registration

and digital survey plan submission. For clients, this means better data quality,

faster approvals, lower administrative risk, real-time decision-making and

complete visibility and control over their land information.

LACI is the research, development and global AI engineering hub for all future LAC

products. Based in Dublin, we work closely with academic and state level

research teams to advance our mission.

About us

LACI is building new products that put applied AI at their core. We’re a small, senior

team that values deep technical ownership, rigorous engineering, and building things

that work reliably in the real world. We’ll share more about what we’re building during

the interview process.

The role

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to join our AI Platform & Runtime squad and take an

existing proof of concept to production. You’ll harden the runtime our AI products run

on, making it safe, versioned, multi-tenant, and well tested. You’ll take work from early

design through to production, shape key technical decisions, and help set the

engineering standards the squad builds on. This is a hands-on role with a high degree of

ownership and influence.

We’re hiring two Senior Engineers, one in our AI Platform & Runtime squad and one in

our Agent Systems squad. The roles share a common core of skills, and we expect our

engineers to understand each other’s work well enough to collaborate closely and step

in when needed.

What you’ll do

• Take a working proof of concept to a production-grade platform, delivering

against clearly agreed milestones.

• Harden configuration loading and validation so that a bad configuration can

never break a live deployment.

• Design and build configuration versioning, pinning, and rollback, so changes are

safe, auditable, and reversible.

• Build multi-tenancy into the runtime, with clean isolation between tenants and

their configurations.

• Raise test coverage and quality across the platform, including unit, integration,

and contract tests, and make testing part of how the squad works.

• Contribute to the reliability, observability, and deployment of the platform,

including CI/CD and environments.

• Make sure the platform cleanly supports AI-generated inputs and outputs,

working closely with the Agent Systems squad on schemas and interfaces.

• Work closely with your lead, our Lead Architect, and product to turn complex

requirements into working solutions.

• Contribute to our AI-first engineering culture, including how the team uses AI-

assisted development tools, reviews code, and shares best practice.

What you’ll bring

• Strong software engineering experience, typically 5+ years, with solid production

experience in Python and/or TypeScript and other full stack technologies.

• Experience taking prototypes or early-stage systems to production and making

them robust.

• Practical experience with schema-driven or configuration-driven systems,

including validation, versioning, and safe rollout.• Experience building multi-tenant systems and operating production services

reliably.

• A strong testing discipline and experience raising test coverage on real

codebases.

• Hands-on experience with LLM-based systems, and a good understanding of

what AI workloads, including structured outputs and agentic patterns, need from

a platform.

• Comfort working with ambiguity and defining the approach yourself, not just

implementing it.

• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical colleagues.

• Daily, fluent use of AI-assisted development tools in your own engineering work.

Nice to have

• Experience with workflow engines, rules engines, or domain-specific languages.

• Experience with feature flags, progressive delivery, or configuration

management at scale.

• Experience with multiple model providers, including routing, cost, and latency

optimisation.

• Experience with cloud infrastructure and infrastructure as code.

• Awareness of AI security, safety, and governance considerations.

Why join

• Ownership: You’ll turn a proof of concept into the production foundation our

products are built on.

• Challenging work: You’ll solve hard platform and applied AI problems with real-

world outcomes.

• AI-first culture: We use AI in what we build and in how we build it.

• Direct access: You’ll work closely with leadership in a team with minimal

process.

Benefits

• Salary and equity: A competitive base salary plus a meaningful equity package,

so you share directly in our success.

• Pension: Up to 8% employer-matched pension contribution to help you build for

your future.

• Healthcare: Comprehensive health insurance contribution for peace of mind.

• Learning & Development: A dedicated annual budget for your professional

growth, courses, and certifications.• Home Office Allowance: A one-off budget to help you build an ergonomic and

comfortable remote workspace.

• Bike to Work Scheme: A tax-efficient cycle-to-work scheme to support greener,

healthier commutes.

Interested?

Apply, we’d especially like to hear about a system you’ve taken

from prototype to production, what you hardened along the way, and what you learned

from it.
