Sr. AI Researcher, Agentic Systems
Canada +1 · Senior · Full-time · Posted Oct 29, 2026
- Location
- Canada
U.S. - Experience
- 5+ years building ML systems.
- Education
- M.S./Ph.D. in a related field or equivalent industry experience.
About the job
Build applied-research agentic systems that reason across construction-site imagery, spatial data, and documents, and deliver verifiable answers to project teams.
What you'll do
- Design agents that plan and execute multi-step tasks across imagery, geometry, and documents; build retrieval, grounding, and agent tools over site records.
- Develop evaluations for ambiguous-ground-truth tasks, select models based on cost, latency, and accuracy, and make outputs traceable to supporting evidence.
- Prototype and partner with platform engineers to ship systems into production.
What they ask for
- M.S./Ph.D. in a related field or equivalent industry experience.
- 5+ years building ML systems, including at least one LLM- or VLM-based system taken to production and maintained.
- Experience designing evaluations from scratch when ground truth is expensive, sparse, or contested.
- Strong multimodal fluency and engineering skills, including Python, async orchestration, tracing, and cost instrumentation; comfort with spatial data.
Nice to have
- Post-training or reinforcement learning on agent trajectories; document understanding over technical drawings, specifications, or structured PDFs.
- Experience with sensor streams beyond core imagery or in construction, robotics, geospatial, or another physical-world domain.
Pay
$181,000 - $230,000 CAD (base salary)
Tools
Python, LLM, VLM, vision-language models, embeddings, retrieval, async orchestration, classical CV
AI focus
Applied research and production development of agentic systems that retrieve, ground, evaluate, and reason across multimodal construction-site records, with evidence-traceable outputs.
