  • Collaborate with Engineering, Product, and Design to ensure data and AI are embedded into user experiences from day one
  • Serve as a trusted thought partner to cross-functional leaders, product managers, and executive stakeholders

Foundation for Success

  • 2+ years in a people leadership role, mentoring and growing data scientists
  • Strong background in machine learning (optimization, traditional ML, or frontier models)
  • Proven track record of shipping ML models into production
  • Proficient in SQL and Python
  • Strong people leader with a focus on growth, empathy, and impact
  • Strong ability to partner cross-functionally with business and product teams
  • Commitment to driving outcomes in a hybrid, AI-first environment where speed and ownership matter
  • Brings curiosity, empathy, and a growth mindset to problem-solving and leadership
  • The Homie Way

  • Master Your Craft – Excellence fuels impact—show up, step up, and make your mark.
  • Win Together – Put goals over roles, lead with trust, and connect to our mission and each other.
  • What We Offer

  • Ownership & Savings : Stock options + TFSA / RRSP with 4% company match
  • Health & Wellness : Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents
