AI Scientist

As an AI Scientist, you never believed that AI boiled down to calling an API. Rather than assembling prefabricated models and hoping it holds up, you understand what's going on under the hood and you choose the right model (or the right chain of models) for the client's real problem. You dive into sometimes chaotic data, you look for the correlations no one has seen, and when information is missing, you go get it from complex environments. You notice a model drifting in production, you rebuild the training pipeline before anyone asks you to; you see a client losing track in front of your solution, you explain it in plain terms until it clicks. You work with other experts and directly with clients, from Quebec to Ontario.

At Vooban, you work on several projects and several business domains in parallel: machine learning, deep learning, RAG, LLM, NLP, computer vision, robotics. No one is going to dictate what you should do. You define the solution, you plan the sequence, you deliver, all while taking the budget into account. It's an environment made for people who thrive on the unknown, who make decisions without having 100% of the information and who see that as a playground rather than a source of stress. If you want to explore a new domain with every project and have a real advisory role with clients, this is where it happens.

What you'll actually do

• Lead your projects from A to Z: define the solution, carry out the technical work (sometimes with other experts), plan the time and the sequence, while staying within budget
• Dig into the data, experiment, look for correlations, and dig up information even when it's buried in complicated environments
• Find the best model (or chain of models) for the client's need and build robust training pipelines to continuously improve our models
• Train and deploy models in the cloud and on the edge
• Develop visualizations that make results clear

Required qualifications

• You have a solid 5 years of industry experience after your studies
• You reside in the province of Quebec and can travel to our Quebec City or Montreal offices a few times a year to take part in team activities and in-person meetings
• You hold a master's degree or a PhD in AI or a related field
• You program in Python
• You understand how AI works, not just how to apply it
• You are genuinely interested in machine learning, deep learning, RAG, LLMs, NLP, computer vision and robotics — and these topics excite you

Ideal profile

• You are comfortable navigating and deciding without having all the information
• You quickly understand the reality of a client in a domain you didn't know yesterday
• You are good at explaining things in plain terms and you enjoy advising clients
• You enjoy working outside your comfort zone
