Senior AI Operations Manager

Vancouver, BC, Canada

The Problem

Our AI gives inconsistent answers and our teams don't trust it for critical decisions. We waste hours fixing AI mistakes because it doesn't understand our business context. The models themselves are fine - it's how we're training them that's broken.

We feed data but don't shape judgment. We retrieve information but don't enforce thinking standards. We prompt for outputs but don't condition behavior. This leads to inconsistent decisions, brittle performance, and low trust.

We need someone who treats AI deployment like operator training, not software deployment. Someone who builds the discipline architecture that makes AI systems predictable, safe, and actually useful.

 

What We're Dealing With

EviSmart deploys AI across multiple internal systems: scan quality control, autonomous CAD design, HR automation, and business intelligence. These systems make thousands of decisions daily that affect production quality, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency.

You'll own the methodology that makes our AI systems behave consistently, safely, and usefully. We call it Deliberate AI Conditioning (DAC): behavioral training through cognitive framing, constraints, scenario drills, and critique loops. Train AI like you'd train operators, not like you'd configure software.

You'll report to the CEO and partner with squad leads across AI QC, Autonomous CAD, HR Hand, and 2Brain to implement this methodology. You own the standard; they own the systems.

 

What You'll Actually Do

Cognitive framing:

  • Define role identity for each AI system - what role is the AI playing? What does success actually look like?
  • Establish tradeoff priorities - when priorities conflict, what wins?
  • Create measurable success criteria that align AI behavior with business outcomes

Behavioral constraints:

  • Build explicit rules with no ambiguity - no "it depends"
  • Define hard stops, soft limits, escalation triggers, output formatting standards
  • Create constraint libraries that can be reused across AI systems

Scenario drills and critique loops:

  • Design edge case libraries - the weird situations that break AI judgment
  • Build self-critique mechanisms - AI that checks its own reasoning before outputting
  • Require 20+ documented failure scenarios before any AI system launches

Memory and reinforcement:

  • Design systems that learn from corrections - not just data, but judgment patterns
  • Build feedback loops that reinforce good behavior and flag drift
  • Create the DAC Certification process for all AI deployments

 

What You Need

Requirements:

  • Deep experience with LLM prompt engineering and behavioral conditioning
  • Track record of deploying AI systems in production environments
  • Ability to translate business logic into AI behavioral rules
  • Systems thinking - you see how AI decisions cascade through operations
  • Strong documentation skills - you'll be creating the playbooks others follow

Nice to have:

  • Experience with RAG systems, vector databases, and knowledge retrieval
  • Background in operations, quality control, or process engineering
  • Experience training humans on complex procedures (you understand how learning actually works)
  • Healthcare or dental industry experience

 

How This Works

This is hands-on. You'll work directly with our AI systems - writing prompts, testing edge cases, documenting failure modes, and building the training architecture that makes AI predictable.

 

Why This Matters

Most companies treat AI like magic - throw data at it and hope for the best. We're building the discipline architecture that makes AI actually work in production. You'll define that standard.

You'll work across multiple AI systems with real business impact - quality control, design automation, HR, business intelligence. This isn't a research role. It's operational AI at scale.

The dental industry is going through a massive digital transformation. We're at the center of it. This is infrastructure work - once we're embedded, we don't get ripped out.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
