##About Solink

At Solink, our mission is tosafeguard what matters most. We provide businesses with the tools toknow sooner and act fasterby transforming video security into real-time operational insights.

Our cloud-based platform integrates seamlessly with your existing cameras and systems, turning them into intelligent sensors that detect and interpret key moments. This empowers teams to make data-driven decisions, enhance security, and improve operational efficiency.

Trusted by over 30,000 locations across 32+ countries - including brands like McDonald’s and JYSK - Solink delivers clarity when it counts. Our solutions help businesses reduce shrink, optimize performance, and respond proactively to potential threats.

We're growing rapidly, earning industry recognition, and scaling with purpose. We’ve been recognized by Deloitte’s Fast 50 and Fast 500, Business Intelligence Group, and as one of Ottawa’s Best Places to Work. And we’re just getting started!

##The Role

On a small, high-velocity Agents team with outsized impact, this role is for a senior product engineer who wants to build how AI agents actually show up in production.

You will design and implement the product-side systems that allow Solink’s AI Agents to reason, act, and deliver value inside our cloud VMS platform. This includes backend services (TypeScript/Node), agent orchestration layers, APIs, tool integrations, and user-facing workflows that turn models into real, reliable capabilities.

This is not a feature-factory role. You are building the execution layer of our agent systems — tool use, workflow coordination, safety boundaries, latency management, and production reliability.

This is a high-ownership role. You are expected to move quickly, ship working systems, and make strong implementation decisions while collaborating closely with product, data, and platform teams.

You will have direct access to the latest AI models and tooling, with the autonomy to apply them pragmatically where they create measurable product impact.

##What You’ll Do

• Implement and evolve agent orchestration services in TypeScript/Node
• Design and ship production-grade APIs and workflows that expose agent capabilities
• Integrate LLM/VLM systems with internal tools, permissions, and data sources
• Enforce safety, guardrails, and failure handling in agent execution paths
• Optimize latency, reliability, and scalability of agent-facing services in AWS/EKS
• Instrument systems for tracing, debugging, and performance visibility
• Operate in tight feedback loops, shipping working code and validating ideas quickly

##What You’ll Bring

###Must-Haves

• Strong TypeScript / Node.js experience building and operating production systems
• Experience deploying and running distributed services in AWS (EKS preferred)
• Experience integrating LLMs / VLMs into production workflows
• Strong understanding of distributed systems (reliability, scaling, failure isolation)
• Experience instrumenting systems for observability and debugging (OpenTelemetry or similar)
• Demonstrated ownership of end-to-end product-facing systems in production

###Nice-to-Haves

• Experience building AI agent frameworks or orchestration layers
• Experience implementing safety controls and guardrails around model execution
• Experience designing event-driven or tool-based architectures
• Experience working in a small, high-velocity startup or AI-first environment

###Security Requirements

• Candidates must undergo a criminal records check upon hire;
• Be a Canadian Citizen (dual citizens included), or eligible to work in Canada;
• Be willing to comply with Solink’s own security policies and standards.
