An exceptional opportunity for a senior ML Engineer to shape the future of AI & Technology in Ottawa.
Ottawa's AI and technology sector has grown into one of Canada's genuine hubs for applied machine learning, and this SME is part of that story.
Established but still expanding, the business has built a reputation for solid engineering rather than hype.
This ML Engineer role sits right at the centre of that work.
Here's what you'll be doing: Design, build and deploy machine learning models that solve real production problems, not just notebook experiments Take ownership of the full ML lifecycle, from data pipeline to model monitoring once it's live Work closely with engineering and product teams to translate business questions into ML solutions that actually ship Optimise existing models for performance, accuracy and cost, and know when to retrain versus rebuild Document your work clearly enough that someone else on the team could pick it up tomorrow Mentor junior team members as the ML function grows alongside the wider company Here are the skills you'll need: Several years' hands-on experience building and deploying machine learning models in production, not just academic projects Strong Python skills and familiarity with common ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn) Comfortable working with cloud infrastructure and MLOps tooling for model deployment and monitoring Solid grounding in statistics and the judgement to know when a simple model beats a complex one Clear communicator who can explain model behaviour to people who don't write code for a living Able to work independently within a structured team, and happy to flag problems early rather than sit on them Key perks and benefits: Salary of C$60,500 to C$80,000, reflecting the seniority this ML Engineer role calls for Hybrid working arrangement, with a defined but flexible structure around office days Private medical insurance and pension contribution Bonus scheme on top of base salary Annual leave that supports genuine flexible working, not just a policy on paper Why pursue a career in AI & Technology?
Few sectors offer the same pace of change.
AI & Technology rewards people who keep learning, and the career ceiling keeps moving upward as the field matures.
Ottawa has quietly become a strong base for this kind of work, with a concentration of talent and investment that makes it easier to grow a long career here without needing to relocate to a bigger city.
