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 skilled AI research experience
Deep hands-on expertise in Computer Vision and Generative AI
Strong experience training, fine-tuning and experimenting with models
Robust 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.
