Careers
Tanto embeds forward-deployed engineers and operators inside real companies — not sandboxes. We're hiring across Toronto and Halifax for people who'd rather write production code than write a slide about it.
What We Look For
Every hire changes what we're capable of. Here's what we look for in the people who join us.
Early-stage AI deployments rarely come with a spec. You're comfortable defining the problem as you solve it.
A working prototype beats a polished proposal. You'd rather show than tell.
You can sit in a room with a deal team or a plant manager and hold your own in either conversation.
You stick around past the demo, and measure yourself by what changed, not what you delivered.
Open Roles
We hire deliberately, project by project, matched to the engagements in front of us rather than a fixed headcount plan.
Tanto is a forward-deployed AI consulting firm, led by operators rather than career consultants. We embed engineers and strategists directly inside client teams — writing production code against real systems and data — until the work runs on its own. Our roots are in PE, VC, and portfolio companies, and we're growing our team across Canada to take on more of that work.
Embedded inside client teams, writing production code against real systems and real data.
You'll embed directly inside client teams — writing production code against real systems and real data, from discovery through operational handover.

Assessing workflows, data, and teams to prioritize the AI initiatives that actually move the numbers.
You'll assess client workflows, data, and teams to prioritize the AI initiatives that actually move the numbers — then hand off a plan our engineers can build against.
Building the pipelines and infrastructure that let forward-deployed work survive past the pilot.
You'll build the pipelines and infrastructure that let forward-deployed work survive past the pilot — data access, monitoring, and the unglamorous plumbing that makes a system safe to run in production.
Short-term, high-intensity engagements for elite engineers who can drop into a client's stack and ship immediately.
We're looking for the absolute top talent to join on a contract basis — engineers who can embed with a client team, get productive fast, and help them actually deploy AI into production without months of ramp-up.
Embedded inside client teams to make sure what we ship is safe, compliant, and auditable — not just functional.
You'll work alongside our forward-deployed engineers to build the security, access control, and governance layer around production AI systems — especially for clients in regulated or high-stakes environments like PE, VC, and financial services.
