Job description

Iconic Art AI is transforming the $65B global art market through AI-powered valuation technology. We’re building the platform that turns a 21-day, $800 appraisal into a data-driven, instant experience, without sacrificing accuracy. We aim to revolutionize how people engage with art by leveraging cutting-edge in‑house AI technology and combining predictive models with our deep knowledge of the art market. If you are excited about working on a product that blends creative innovation and technological prowess , Iconic Art AI is your place.

Role Overview

We are seeking a senior software developer to own the technical development of our mobile and web applications. In this role, you will design and implement the end‑to‑end architecture of a product that utilizes advanced visual recognition features. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team to integrate AI capabilities into a seamless user experience.

This position is based in Montreal, Canada, and offers a unique opportunity to shape a product from the ground up in a highly innovative environment and grow into a technical leadership role managing direct reports as the team scales.

Key Responsibilities

  • Technical Ownership & Architecture : Own the end‑to‑end technical architecture of the mobile and web applications and supporting backend services, making key decisions around scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.
  • Hands‑on Development : Design, implement, and ship core product features across the mobile app and backend, especially during early stages where speed, quality, and pragmatism are critical.
  • Cross‑Functional Collaboration : Work closely with AI / ML engineers, product, design, art researchers, and leadership to translate complex technical capabilities and business requirements into a cohesive, high‑quality user experience.
  • AI & Computer Vision Integration (Production Focus) : Integrate AI‑driven capabilities (including computer vision and image‑based recognition) developed by ML teams into reliable, production‑grade mobile workflows.
  • Machine Learning Deployment : Solid understanding of machine learning deployment lifecycles.
  • Engineering Standards & Code Quality : Establish and uphold engineering best practices, including code quality, testing, performance optimization, security considerations, and long‑term maintainability.
  • Technical Decision‑Making & Tradeoffs : Make informed technical tradeoffs under real‑world constraints, balancing delivery speed with long‑term architectural soundness.
  • Technical Leadership & Mentorship : Review code, provide technical guidance, and help set the engineering foundations that will support future team growth as the company scales.

Qualifications and Skills

  • Senior Engineering Experience : 5+ years of professional software development experience, including ownership of complex systems or products in production environments.
  • Technical Leadership : Demonstrated experience acting as a technical lead or owning systems end‑to‑end, including architectural decision‑making and setting engineering standards.
  • Mobile Application Expertise : Strong experience building mobile applications from the ground up, particularly with React Native. Experience with native iOS (Swift) and / or Android (Kotlin) is a strong plus.
  • Full‑Stack & System Design Skills : Expertise in full‑stack development within the React ecosystem, with strong React Native experience. Familiarity with native languages (Swift, Kotlin) is a plus. Nice‑to‑have : Zustand, TanStack, TensorFlowLite.
  • Cloud & Infrastructure : Experience designing, deploying, and operating backend services in a cloud environment (AWS preferred), including performance, reliability, and security considerations. Familiarity with AWS tooling such as SageMaker Studio, SageMaker Pipelines, and SageMaker Endpoints for ML workflows, along with services like CloudWatch, ECR, and S3 for monitoring, deployment, and data management, is a plus.
  • AI / ML Integration Understanding : Experience integrating machine‑learning or AI‑driven capabilities into production applications. Direct model development is not required, but a strong understanding of model consumption, inference workflows, and failure modes is expected.
  • Product & Business Awareness : Ability to work closely with product and leadership, understand business constraints, and make technical decisions that support product and company goals.
  • Problem‑Solving : Creative and analytical mindset with a passion for solving complex problems. Enthusiasm for innovation at the crossroads of art and technology.
  • Adaptability : Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced startup environment. Eagerness to learn new tools and technologies as needed.
  • Language : Professional proficiency in English. (French language skills are a plus but not required.)
  • What We Offer

  • Impact & Innovation : Achieve the chance to be part of a disruptive venture building a product at the cutting edge of art and AI. Your work will directly influence a groundbreaking application in a unique domain.
  • Creative Environment : A creative, collaborative startup atmosphere where new ideas are encouraged and every team member’s voice matters. Work alongside art historians, ML researchers, and technologists building tools for financial institutions, private collectors, and gallery advisors.
  • Professional Growth : Opportunities to expand your skill set by working with the latest AI and machine learning tools and methodologies. Gain experience in an emerging field with high growth potential.
  • Competitive Compensation : A competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Location & Culture : An inspiring workspace in the Old Port of Montreal. We embrace work‑life balance while maintaining a high‑energy, driven culture.
  • How to Apply

    We want to hear from you if you’re ready to embark on this exciting journey with Iconic Art!
