Développeur principal, modernisation du code par l’IA
Lieu : Hybride – Québec, Canada
Résumé du poste
Bentley met sur pied une équipe spécialisée en modernisation du code par l’IA, axée sur l’application de techniques avancées d’intelligence artificielle pour transformer des systèmes logiciels d’ingénierie à grande échelle. Cette équipe est responsable du développement de pipeline de modernisation alimentées par l’IA afin de contribuer à la migration et à l’évolution d’applications complexes, notamment des bases de code scientifiques et d’ingénierie, vers des architectures modernes infonuagiques.
Il s’agit d’un rôle d’ingénierie appliqué et non de recherche académique. Vous travaillerez à l’intersection du génie logiciel, des systèmes d’IA, des outils de développement et de l’automatisation de la modernisation. Le succès sera mesuré par l’impact en production, l’évolutivité, la fiabilité et la capacité à accélérer la modernisation dans l’ensemble du portefeuille de produits de Bentley.
Ce que vous ferez
- Concevoir et bâtir des pipelines de modernisation logicielle pilotées par l’IA.
- Développer et améliorer des flux de travail d’IA agentique qui soutiennent la validation et la modernisation.
- Moderniser des applications « desktop » de simulation et d’ingénierie existantes en services infonuagiques et en architectures modernes.
- Utiliser une approche d’ingénierie en boucle (« loop engineering ») pour améliorer la qualité, réduire les coûts et accélérer le processus de conversion, de test et de correction.
- Évaluer les systèmes d’IA en matière d’exactitude, de fiabilité, de performance, d’observabilité et d’efficacité des coûts.
- Créer des outils automatisés, des cadres de validation et des stratégies de test pour assurer l’exactitude du code transformé.
- Collaborer avec les architectes, les responsables de produits et les équipes d’ingénierie afin d’identifier les possibilités de modernisation et d’en favoriser l’adoption.
- Contribuer à l’orientation technique, aux pratiques exemplaires et aux cadres de modernisation réutilisables pouvant être mis à profit dans l’ensemble de Bentley.
- Aider à établir et à partager une expertise dans un domaine de l’IA en évolution rapide.
- Ce rôle ne nécessite aucun déplacement.
- Exige de pouvoir rester assis ou debout au besoin pendant le travail à l’ordinateur ou toute autre exigence physique applicable.
Qualifications requises
- Solide expérience en développement logiciel
- Expérience dans la création, la maintenance ou la modernisation d’applications logicielles complexes.
- Compréhension démontrée de la performance logicielle, de la fiabilité, de l’évolutivité, des tests et des modes de défaillance.
- Expérience pratique dans l’application de l’IA, de l’apprentissage automatique, des chaînes d’inférence, des techniques d’optimisation ou de l’automatisation intelligente à des problèmes concrets.
- Être orienté systèmes, avec la capacité de structurer des défis techniques ambigus.
- Expérience dans la conception de pipeline de traitement, de boucles de rétroaction, de systèmes itératifs ou d’outils de développement à grande échelle.
- Excellentes compétences en communication et capacité à collaborer avec des parties prenantes techniques et non techniques.
Qualifications souhaitées
- Expérience avec Rust, C++, C ou Fortran.
- Expérience en modernisation de systèmes patrimoniaux ou en migration d’applications vers des architectures infonuagiques.

- Expérience avec des logiciels d’ingénierie, scientifiques, mathématiques ou de simulation.
- Familiarité avec les plateformes infonuagiques et les systèmes distribués.
- Intérêt pour les nouveaux modèles de développement en IA, les flux de travail agentiques et les technologies de transformation logicielle.
À quoi ressemble la réussite
Les candidats retenus démontreront leur capacité à :
- Moderniser des systèmes existants plutôt que de se limiter à créer de nouvelles solutions.
- Faire des compromis réfléchis entre performance, fiabilité, latence, maintenabilité et coût.
- Appliquer l’IA de manière pratique et orientée production.
- Naviguer dans l’ambiguïté tout en maintenant une grande rigueur d’ingénierie.
- Construire des systèmes qui s’améliorent continuellement et qui évoluent avec le temps.
