Our values drive us. They’re at the core of everything we do. If they align with yours, proceed through the GREEN light! - **All in to win:** We're driven by a winning mindset, approaching every challenge with intensity, clarity, and speed. - **One Miovision:** We succeed as one team, uniting diverse talents, building on trust, and putting our shared mission before ego. - **Be better every day:** We're committed to continuous growth, staying curious, building mastery, and embracing challenges as learning opportunities. - **Make it happen:** We are proactive and results-driven, taking ownership, acting with urgency, and focusing on solutions that deliver real impact. - **Earn the customer:** We are deeply customer-centric, focused on earning our customers' partnership every day by delivering exceptional experiences that drive their success. # Position Summary We are looking for an experienced, AI-first **Senior Software Engineer** to join our **Adaptive** team. Our Adaptive product operates at the cutting edge of real-time traffic signal optimization, adjusting signal timings second-by-second to manage physical vehicle flow at intersections. This work spans traffic operations, field devices, distributed systems, and real-time data under high domain ambiguity. Rather than looking for specific programming languages or frameworks, we value engineers who can: - Rapidly acquire domain context and ask the right questions. - Leverage AI tools and agentic workflows. - Navigate complex, ambiguous problems to build reliable production outcomes. This is a hands-on product engineering role, not an AI research or model-development position. You will take complete ownership of ambiguous problems and establish AI-enabled software practices that shape how engineering is done across Miovision. ## Objectives and Responsibilities **Rapid Context Building & Problem Solving** - Rapidly build deep context across domain concepts, customer needs, real-time traffic operations, edge devices, distributed system architecture, and legacy codebase. - Translate ambiguous, incomplete requirements or complex system failures into clear problem definitions, technical designs, working prototypes, and production software. **AI-First Execution & Agentic Workflows** - Utilize AI tools and agentic workflows as a primary part of day-to-day software delivery, including system exploration, design, implementation, automated testing, debugging, and production operations. - Break complex initiatives into structured work that can be executed effectively by both engineers and AI agents. - Provide clear context, constraints, guardrails, and evaluation criteria to guide AI-assisted coding tools toward accurate and verifiable outputs. **System Engineering & Production Delivery** - Design, build, test, deploy, and operate reliable, scalable, secure, and maintainable software across distributed systems and connected infrastructure. - Move fluidly across unfamiliar tech stacks, services, and languages whenever a problem demands it. - Critically review and evaluate AI-generated code and designs, taking ultimate accountability for overall system quality, security, and performance. - Use prototypes and short feedback loops to reduce uncertainty before committing to larger technical investments. - Make pragmatic trade-offs between customer value, delivery speed, reliability, security, cost, and long-term maintainability. **Collaboration & Engineering Excellence** - Partner closely with Product, Architecture, QA, Cloud, Customer Support, customers, and other engineers to connect technical work to measurable outcomes. - Create supporting documentation, test suites, guardrails, and observability tools to make AI-assisted development safe and repeatable. - Share effective AI workflows, mentor other engineers, and help define how AI-first engineering should operate across Miovision. # Ideal Profile **Experience and Mindset** - **Proven Experience:** Extensive professional software engineering experience delivering complex, scalable production systems (8+ years preferred but not required with equivalent demonstrated capability). - **Product Delivery and Autonomous Decision-Making:** Proven track record of building customer-facing products and making sound, high-judgment engineering decisions in fast-paced environments with incomplete or evolving information. - **Continuous Innovation and Quality:** Curious, adaptable, and eager to challenge legacy software development norms while upholding a strict commitment to engineering excellence. - **Communication:** Outstanding ability to articulate technical assumptions, trade-offs, and risks clearly to both technical and business stakeholders. **AI Proficiency and Modern Workflows** - **Practical AI Execution:** Demonstrated experience using frontier AI models, modern AI coding tools, or AI agents to significantly accelerate development speed, quality, or scope. - **Context Structuring:** Ability to break down architecture and context effectively so AI tools produce verifiable, maintainable code. **Technical Domain and Core Fundamentals** - **Software Engineering Fundamentals:** Strong foundation in system design, debugging, testing, reliability, security, maintainability, and production operations. - **Distributed Architecture:** Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, APIs, data-intensive applications, and cloud/connected device platforms. - **Language Agnostic:** Ability to become effective quickly in an unfamiliar technical stack or business domain, reasoning about code across multiple modern languages (e.g., Java, Kotlin, C#, TypeScript, Python). Specific stack experience is secondary to adaptability and ability to learn. - **Engineering Practices:** Familiarity with Git, containers, CI/CD pipelines, Linux-based systems, observability, and production troubleshooting. - **Communication:** Outstanding ability to articulate technical assumptions, trade-offs, and risks clearly to both technical and business stakeholders. - **Education:** Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience) is an asset. This position is for an actual vacancy. **Your Rewards & Well-being:** We invest in our team with benefits designed for modern life and true work-life balance. - **Comprehensive Coverage:** Your well-being is covered from day one with comprehensive health benefits, 24/7 virtual healthcare access, and dedicated wellness programs. - **Financial Future:** Build for tomorrow with our RRSP/401K Matching Plan and share in the company's success through our Variable Incentive Plan. - **Time to Recharge:** Truly unplug with our unique Mio-Days and flexible vacation policy. - **Work & Life Support:** We support you with flexible work options, an internet subsidy, a remote work allowance, and enhanced leave for new parents. **Sound like your next adventure?
