Job Description

What is the Opportunity?

Are you looking to make an impact across many teams by putting agentic AI to work inside the software delivery lifecycle itself? Join RBC Capital Markets' DevOps team at a moment where we're not just building the pipelines application teams rely on — we're using AI to build them, and embedding agentic AI directly into those pipelines to further accelerate delivery.

We are looking for a Developer obsessed with efficiency and automation to be part of an autonomous team delivering services for application teams across Capital Markets. An open-minded individual who is not afraid to fail fast and pivot when needed, who seeks out gaps and challenges to drive efficiency for other application teams and for their own. Knowledge sharing is key. If you're excited by the idea of using tools like Claude Code — including multi-agent workflows, custom skills, and MCP integrations — to reinvent how DevOps services get built and delivered, this is the team for you.

What will you do?

  • Develop value-add DevOps services and CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, TypeScript, Python and Java that integrate with our existing DevOps stack
  • Use AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate the design, build, and maintenance of DevOps tooling and platform services
  • Design and embed agentic AI within CI/CD pipelines — including multi-agent orchestration, custom skills, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations — to automate tasks such as code review, testing, remediation, and release decisioning
  • Prototype and evaluate emerging agentic AI tools and patterns, and recommend adoption strategies to further accelerate the platform
  • Coach application teams on how to leverage DevOps offerings and adopt agentic AI practices within their own delivery workflows
  • Champion developer experience and best practices in conjunction with DevOps to ensure no developer is left behind
  • Participate in new tool adoption and POC processes, and provide recommendations
  • Evolve DevOps services beyond current state for application teams

What do you need to succeed?

Must-have:

  • An engineer mindset, SDLC experience with production-class delivery, strong analytical mindset, communication skills, and sense of ownership / drive
  • 2+ years of development experience in at least one of the following languages: Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, C/C++
  • Experience with GitHub Actions for building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
  • Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants and agentic development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor), prompt engineering and advanced usage patterns such as multi-agent workflows, custom skills/subagents, and MCP server integrations
  • Experience with application and system design patterns
  • Experience with Docker or Kubernetes
  • Experience with Agile methodologies, i.e. Scrum

Nice-to-have:

  • Experience with GitOps deployment paradigms (e.g., Flux) — highly preferred
  • Experience with JFrog Artifactory or similar artifact/package management tools
  • Experience embedding AI/LLM-based automation into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., automated code review, test generation, self-healing pipelines)
  • Experience with agentic AI frameworks or concepts such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, RAG pipelines.
  • Experience with Elastic Search and Kibana
  • Experience using additional DevOps CI/CD tools such as GitHub, Jenkins, UrbanCodeDeploy
  • Experience with a public cloud technology, i.e. Azure, AWS, GCP
  • Experience building or supporting distributed applications

What's in it for you?

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving success that is mutual.

  • A comprehensive Total Rewards Program including bonuses and flexible benefits, competitive compensation, commissions, and stock where applicable
  • Leaders who support your development through coaching and managing opportunities
  • Ability to make a difference and lasting impact
  • Work in a dynamic, collaborative, progressive, and high-performing team
  • A world-class training program in financial services and technology
  • Flexible work/life balance options
  • Opportunities to do challenging work
