What is the opportunity?

Intelligent Operations (iO) is an AI-powered safety net for RBC technology operations that keeps services running and reduces outages. We are the first to collect tech operations data from different domains—bringing enormous value from mining information and insights that allow us to predict problems before they happen. This is foundational work for the next generation of AI capabilities at RBC.

We're building the infrastructure that enables AI agents to act autonomously—analyzing data, generating code, executing experiments, and reasoning about operational data. The iO team designs and operates the execution environments, state management systems, and agent orchestration that make autonomous AI safe and reliable. You'll work at the intersection of distributed systems, ML research, and product—building systems that don't exist anywhere else in the industry.

Join RBC's T&O IntOps team as a **Generative AI Data Scientist / Researcher** and help build AI agents that will lead us to a future where RBC employees can leverage autonomous systems to dramatically increase the scope and quality of what we can accomplish. The ideal candidate will have a passion for developer tools, extensive knowledge of diverse programming environments, and experience with advanced LLM features like tool-use, chaining and orchestration patterns, and prompt engineering.

• PhD or Master's degree in Physics, Computer Science, Data Science, or related field
• 5+ years of research experience with a focus on machine learning applications
• Hands-on experience working with large language models and prompt engineering
• Proficient in Python and libraries: NumPy, Pandas, TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, FastAPI
• Strong understanding of ML techniques: supervised/unsupervised learning, deep neural networks, Transformers, and agentic AI patterns
• Experience with async processing frameworks (Celery, Redis) and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, OpenShift/Kubernetes)
• Familiarity with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and distributed systems architecture
• Excellent communication skills with ability to lead cross-functional teams
• Certified in both Deep learning specialization and Neural networks.

• Experience building and maintaining CLI tools and developer tooling
• Background in React development, TypeScript, and modern front-end patterns
• Experience with container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift) and cloud infrastructure
• Familiarity with LLM observability tools (Langfuse, LangSmith) and tracing
• Experience with code generation systems and automated research workflows
• Background in high-energy physics research (e.g., CERN or similar)
• Published research in reputable journals
• Projects with stringent safety, security and/or compliance requirements

• Work on groundbreaking AI projects with significant industry impact
• Be part of a forward-thinking team that values creativity and innovation
• Opportunities for continuous learning through training, workshops, and conferences
• Mentorship programs and career development plans
• Competitive compensation and flexible benefits
• Performance bonuses and recognition programs
