Applied AI Research Engineer (Marketing Tech, Remote Canada)

A remote-first software company is expanding its applied research group, which explores how generative AI can power marketing for customers. The work is practical and experimental, especially around visual media such as images and video, and far less concerned with publishing papers.

Example projects

• Build rapid prototypes that test how far AI can go within marketing and data processes
• Create systems that evaluate and improve results with minimal human supervision
• Push the limits of AI-generated video, for instance making synthetic people look fully lifelike
• Try different methods for producing on-brand creative assets that match a company’s visual style

What we look for

• Sound probabilistic and numerical reasoning, plus real creativity when working with LLM applications
• Strong engineering skills, notably in backend design or systems built on probability
• Product instincts and the habit of tying experiments to customer value
• Experience building or scaling backend infrastructure or complex AI products, ideally from zero to one
• A career path showing quick progression toward senior or staff-level responsibility; prior LLM experience is not mandatory
• Python background

The position is senior-level but weighs impact and growth potential over years served. Remote for candidates based in Canada. Visa transfers considered, and sponsorship may be possible case by case.
