Blue J is the leading generative AI solution for tax professionals and one of Canada's fastest-growing AI companies. Headquartered in Toronto, we’re a high-growth B2B SaaS company building industry-leading tax research software that helps accountants find accurate answers to complex tax questions with greater speed and confidence.
Backed by a $122M USD Series D funding round, we’re scaling rapidly across North America and the UK while continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI. By combining advanced technology with deep tax expertise, we empower tax professionals to work more efficiently, make better decisions, and deliver greater value to their clients.
We’re now looking for a skilled Senior Machine Learning Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about shaping the future of AI-assisted tax research. Your work will directly advance our product and AI capabilities, keeping our technology at the leading edge.
Our Data Science and AI team is made up of curious, creative people who love solving tough problems. Much of our work focuses on Generative AI, where we design and optimize retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines that bring intelligence and precision to complex domains like tax and legal analysis. Whether it’s improving model performance, enhancing retrieval quality, or applying the latest research in large language models, we’re always looking for opportunities to make our AI better.
We care deeply about both quality and speed. Strong engineering practices help us move quickly and confidently, and we do. Our models and data pipelines are updated and deployed regularly, allowing us to learn fast and continuously improve.
As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer,



you’ll help shape the next generation of intelligent features and systems that power our products. You’ll work closely with data scientists, and software engineers to design, build, and deploy scalable RAG solutions, from training models to developing production-ready pipelines for the domain of tax and legal research.
This role is a great fit for someone who’s curious about data and eager to turn insights into real-world impact. You’ll also support other team members through mentorship, sharing what you know, and collaboration to grow our machine learning practice.
