Remote Platform Architect (Cloud & Agentic Systems) - Contract


Audi Red is a groundbreaking partnership between Audi, the leader in premium automotive innovation and BIMM Management Group— a digital technology agency. As Audi’s flagship technology hub in North America, and aspiring to global recognition, Audi Red is dedicated to spearheading advancements in Audi’s digital experience ecosystem. Our mission is to merge excellence in innovation, design, and delivery, leveraging our strong partnership foundation to bridge agency creativity with product excellence, thus enhancing customer experience and service design through cutting-edge technological solutions.

The Role

We are seeking a Platform Architect on contract until December 24th, 2026 to help design and evolve Audi RED’s internal cloud platform, DevOps practices, and agentic (AI-driven) toolchain. This role focuses on building scalable, secure, and observable systems on AWS, while enabling engineering teams to leverage modern infrastructure and AI capabilities effectively.

This role is highly hands-on and focused on platform development, system design, and internal enablement, rather than client delivery.

This role focuses on building systems and platforms around existing AI/LLM capabilities, rather than developing or training models.

We are open to remote candidates across Canada. You will be required to work EST hours. Candidates local to Toronto will be prioritized and asked to join us in office!

This is an existing vacancy, not a made-up role — this one’s already got a desk waiting.
