AI Project Requirement

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success means delivering practical software that is reliable, maintainable, and useful to the business. A strong ADS developer learns the operational context, asks good questions, writes clear code, supports users responsibly, and looks for ways to improve systems through better data, automation, integrations, and AI-enabled tools.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is curious, dependable, detail-oriented, and business-minded. They are comfortable working in a small development environment where priorities can shift, production support matters, and the best solutions are often the ones that are simple, reliable, and easy for users to adopt.

This is a remote position. Candidates located in the Greater Vancouver area may be preferred to support occasional in-person meetings and collaboration at our Burnaby head office.
