  • Working knowledge of agentic AI patterns and design approaches (e.g., ReAct, Tool Use, agent orchestration)

  • Proficiency in Large Language Models (LLMs), prompt engineering, and prompting techniques

  • Experience building Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, working with vector databases and embeddings

  • Strong Python programming skills with ability to write clean, maintainable production code

  • Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar integration frameworks

  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern DevOps practices

  • Knowledge of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipelines

  • Understanding of security best practices, data governance, and compliance requirements

  • Strong collaboration skills with ability to work effectively across technical and business teams

  • Excellent communication skills for explaining technical concepts and sharing knowledge

  • Ability to learn quickly in the rapidly evolving AI/ML landscape

  • Comfort working in Agile environments with iterative delivery approaches

What's in it for you?
  • Join a strategic team driving RBC’s enterprise AI transformation and competitive positioning

  • Work on cutting-edge agentic AI technology with access to leading researchers, rich datasets, and significant computational resources

  • Contribute to high-visibility, high-value business initiatives across the enterprise
