--- title: "AI Scientist — Vooban" url: https://vooban.com/en/careers/ai-scientist language: en translation: https://vooban.com/carrieres/scientifique-en-intelligence-artificielle-ai-scientist --- Production Full Time # AI Scientist Offices Montreal / Quebec city [Apply](https://vooban.com/en/careers/join-us/ai-scientist) [All positions](https://vooban.com/en/careers) What if your AI expertise was the only thing stopping you from preventing environmental catastrophes, reducing food waste or accelerating the adoption of autonomous cars? ## DESCRIPTION ### What You're Here to Do As an AI Scientist, you've never believed AI comes down to calling an API. Instead of assembling prefab models and hoping they hold up, you understand what's happening under the hood and choose the right model (or the right chain of models) for the client's actual problem. You dive into data that's sometimes chaotic, look for correlations nobody else has spotted, and when information is missing, you go dig it up in complex environments. You work with other experts and directly with clients, from Quebec to Ontario. At Vooban, you work across several projects and business domains in parallel: machine learning, deep learning, RAG, LLM, NLP, computer vision, robotics. Nobody will dictate what to do. You define the solution, plan the sequence, and deliver, all while keeping the budget in mind. ### What You'll Drive - Own your projects from A to Z: define the solution, handle the technical build (sometimes with other experts), plan the timing and sequence, all within budget - Dig through data, experiment, look for correlations, and unearth 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 keep improving our models - Train and deploy models in the cloud and on the edge - Build visualizations that make results clear ### Your profile - You live in the province of Quebec and can travel to our Quebec City or Montreal offices a few times a year for team activities and in-person meetings - You are fully bilingual in French and English, since our clients are located in both Quebec and Ontario - You program in Python and truly understand how AI works, not just how to apply it - Machine learning, deep learning, RAG, LLMs, NLP, computer vision, and robotics genuinely excite you - You're comfortable navigating and making decisions without having all the information, and you quickly grasp a client's reality in a field you knew nothing about the day before - You're a great communicator who enjoys advising clients and stepping outside your comfort zone ## Our technologies ## You are comfortable with these tools ### Tools Here's a list of the main softwares and languages we use. You don't need to be familiar with them all, don't worry! - PyTorch - Numpy - Pandas - minizinc - Docker - ortools - Fastapi - Matplotlib - Scikit-learn - TensorFlow - Kafka - RabbitMQ ## Why us?
