We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build the applied systems that bring AI capabilities into production: the data pipelines, LLM integrations, agentic workflows, tool interfaces, and evaluation frameworks that make AI-driven products reliable enough to depend on. This is applied engineering rather than research; success is measured in shipped, maintainable systems. You may be a strong fit if you love working within a landscape that changes quickly, creating durable architectures with swappable parts, so new models and techniques are adopted on evidence.
The role encompasses fluency across cloud architecture and local model inference, evaluation design, agentic workflows and orchestration, API and tool design, and AI-assisted data enrichment. It also requires the engineering rigor to establish reliable sources of truth, detect regressions, and recognize when a deterministic solution is more appropriate than an AI-driven one.
Morningstar’s hybrid work environment gives you the opportunity to collaborate in-person each week as we’ve found that we’re at our best when we’re purposely together on a regular basis. In most of our locations, our hybrid work model is four days in-office each week. A range of other benefits are also available to enhance flexibility as needs change. No matter where you are, you’ll have tools and resources to engage meaningfully with your global colleagues.
This position is based in our Toronto office. We follow a hybrid policy of at least 4 days onsite.
