Agentic AI Expert

Work Arrangements

As a company founded and led by an artist, creativity above all guides us. Our mission is to provide our talents with the freedom and resources they need to deliver quality work and thrive in a stimulating, caring environment. While we require employees to be present in the studio at least three days a week, we maintain flexible work arrangements for the remaining days. This balance ensures that we foster collaboration, maintain our vibrant culture, and encourage in‑person interaction and teamwork.

Job Description

This position is based in our Montréal studio, and the selected candidate must be able to work on site at least three days per week. Hybrid work is supported, but regular in‑person collaboration is essential for this role.
