Location: Montreal, QC

Expected start date to end date: September 2026 - February 2027

Work Hours: 40 hours per week (full time)

• Build AI-augmented applications — APIs, agentic workflows, and generative AI capabilities into SAP products using SAP AI Core, BTP AI services, or equivalent
• Develop full-stack features using SAP web technologies (SAPUI5, UI5 Web Components), modern JavaScript/TypeScript, CSS, and RESTful APIs
• Design and implement back-end services in object-oriented languages, with attention to scalability, security, and observability

• Write and maintain automated tests — unit, integration, and end-to-end — including prompt-level tests for AI-powered features
• Participate in code reviews with a focus on quality, maintainability, and responsible AI usage
• Work with databases — design schemas, write optimized queries, and understand data access patterns that feed ML pipelines
• Troubleshoot and debug across the full stack, including non-deterministic AI component behaviour
• Document technical designs, AI model decisions, and architectural trade-offs
• Stay curious — track emerging developments in AI tooling, foundation models, and enterprise software
