    The Role


    We're looking for an Engineering Leader with a Data Science / Machine Learning background to head the incubation of CommerceIQ's next generation of AI‑driven SaaS solutions. The Head of AI Engineering is both hands‑on and leadership‑focused: you will act as a player‑coach, directly shaping the technical architecture of our AI platform while building and mentoring a team of engineers. You will report directly to our cofounders to design and deliver advanced AI and agentic applications that push the boundaries of what is possible in applied AI for commerce. You will be accountable for scaling AI systems from research through production, ensuring that they create measurable business impact for the world's largest brands. This role is ideal for a technical leader who has both trained models and shipped them into production, built agentic applications, and has a deep understanding of machine learning systems at scale.

    Location: Remote role based out of Toronto, Ontario. We are only considering candidates located in the Toronto area.

    What You'll Do

    • Partner directly with the cofounders to set and execute the AI engineering strategy.
    • Hire, lead, and mentor a founding AI engineering team within our incubation group, growing both technical depth and organizational capability.
    • Act as a player‑coach: contribute hands‑on to architecture, model training, and backend engineering while scaling a team around you.
    • Design and build scalable ML infrastructure to support model training, fine‑tuning, deployment and monitoring at production scale.
    • Lead the development of agentic applications, including designing, training, and launching agents that operate in real‑world customer environments.
    • Establish best practices for data quality, labeling, and ML pipelines, enabling rapid experimentation and continuous improvement.
    • Drive responsible AI development by ensuring reliability, ethics, safety and performance in all models and agents shipped to production.
    • Collaborate closely with product, data science, and business stakeholders to translate research breakthroughs into customer‑facing features.
    • Set engineering standards and build a culture of technical excellence, innovation and accountability.

    What You'll Bring

    • 5+ years of experience in backend software engineering, with 2+ years leading AI/ML teams; hands‑on experience training AI/ML models, including foundation models, fine‑tuned models, or specialized domain models.
    • Proven experience building and deploying agentic applications, with deep knowledge of agent design patterns and orchestration.
    • Strong track record of launching AI models and agents into production environments at scale.
    • Advanced expertise in machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning.
    • Experience designing scalable data systems and pipelines for training and inference.
    • Fluency in backend and ML‑oriented programming languages such as Python, Java, Scala, or C++.
    • Knowledge of modern ML toolkits and frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, LangChain, Ray, etc.).
    • Strong ability to balance hands‑on technical depth with leadership, mentoring and organizational building.
    • Excellent communication and influencing skills, with experience working directly with senior executives or founders.
    • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or a related field.

    Compensation


    Base pay range: $200,000 – $300,000 per year. Additional compensation includes an annual bonus and stock options.

    Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package. You may also be eligible for long‑term incentives in the form of company stock options, as well as discretionary bonuses.

    We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other category prohibited by applicable law.
