About The Position

At Solink, our mission is to safeguard what matters most. We provide businesses with the tools to know sooner and act faster by 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!
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.
