Senior AI Researcher – Computer Vision & Generative AI
Location: Toronto, ON – Hybrid, minimum 2 days onsite per week
Employment Type: Permanent, Full-Time
Salary: $150,000–$170,000
We are looking for a Senior AI Researcher with deep expertise in Computer Vision (CV) and Generative AI (GenAI) to develop advanced AI models and turn cutting-edge research into production-ready solutions.
This is a highly technical research role for someone who has experience building, training and fine-tuning models, not simply using existing AI models or APIs.
What You’ll Do
- Conduct original research in Computer Vision and Generative AI
- Design, train and fine-tune advanced CV and GenAI models
- Develop solutions for on-device and cloud-based AI inference
- Research and evaluate emerging AI technologies and algorithms
- Build efficient, scalable and production-ready AI systems
- Optimize models for performance and real-world deployment
- Work closely with development and MLOps teams to move research into production
- Mentor AI interns and support technical knowledge sharing
- Present complex AI concepts and research findings to technical and non-technical audiences
- Contribute to research publications, patents and industry conferences
What We’re Looking For
- Master's or PhD in Computer Science or a closely related field
- 5–7 years of professional AI research experience
- Deep hands-on expertise in Computer Vision and Generative AI
- Strong experience training, fine-tuning and experimenting with models
- Strong understanding of generative media applications
- Expert-level Python
- Strong experience with PyTorch and/or TensorFlow
- Experience across the full ML lifecycle, including development, debugging, optimization and deployment
- Strong understanding of core machine learning and deep learning concepts
- Ability to explain complex mathematical and scientific concepts clearly
- Experience taking AI research into production-ready solutions
Important Requirement
Candidates should have a strong research background with first-author publications at leading AI conferences, such as:
CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR or SIGGRAPH
This role is best suited to someone with genuine AI research depth who has developed and trained advanced models and wants to continue pushing the boundaries of Computer Vision and Generative AI.
