Gigi is the agentic operating system of enterprise media buying. Our first product is the AI media manager for Amazon DSP. Since launching it in summer 2025, we've grown to manage hundreds of millions in advertising spend on behalf of the largest agencies in the world.
We're backed by top venture investors Golden Ventures and Aperiam Ventures. Our founding team has spent 15+ years building in Amazon Ads and ecommerce, including a prior $100M+ exit.
We're hiring an AI Agent Engineer to join our engineering team in Toronto and own end-to-end development of the agents and workflows behind Gigi, our AI media manager.
This is fundamentally a software engineering role. Much of the work will feel familiar: designing APIs, modelling data, integrating services, writing tests, debugging production issues, and making architectural decisions. Your focus will be how LLMs reason, use tools, retain context, and take actions on behalf of customers—and the software that makes those actions reliable.
You do not need to be an AI researcher or have years of professional LLM experience. Strong software engineers who have started building with LLMs and agents, and want to take that work further, should apply. You'll use tools such as Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor as a core part of how you work, while building across agent logic, backend services, data, and the customer-facing product.
As an early employee, you will have a meaningful role in shaping our product, engineering culture, and company.
What you'll do
-
Ship agents end to end. You'll own capabilities from the data and tools an agent uses through its reasoning and execution to the interface a media buyer actually touches. Examples include turning a brief into a campaign, investigating performance, and carrying out approved changes. Our stack includes Python, FastAPI, LangGraph and LangChain; TypeScript, Vue and Nuxt; Java and Spring Boot; PostgreSQL, pgvector, Redis and NATS; and AWS.
-
Build with AI as a core part of your development workflow. Use Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and other coding agents to help plan, implement, test, debug, and review software. You are still responsible for the architecture, quality, and correctness of what gets shipped.
-
Build the agent's judgment, not just its plumbing. Decide what Gigi should do autonomously and what it must escalate to a human, then score actions on risk and confidence so recommendations read differently when the data is thin.
-
Draw the line between probabilistic and deterministic work. LLMs for reasoning, structured software for execution. Knowing where that boundary sits on any given feature is a daily call, not a settled architecture.
