The goal is to understand the needs of our business partners and bring to life these unique and efficient solutions that can only be achieved through the use of machine learning.Your responsibilities include:

• Building machine learning-based software solutions;

• Collaborating with business stakeholders to prototype machine-learning solutions rapidly;

• Conducting comparisons to existing algorithms and baselines;

• Reviewing, extending, and optimizing prototype solutions;

• Collaborating with the engineering team to integrate algorithms into products;

• Developing reusable internal tools to facilitate research prototyping;

• Supporting projects with thorough documentation, design decisions, and capabilities.

• In this role, you will communicate and interact frequently with RBC partners and/or employees located across Canada and/or worldwide.

You’re our ideal candidate if you have:

• A master’s or PhD degree in computer science, mathematics, physics, economics or equivalent;

• 2+ years of applied machine learning experience in a high-responsibility, minimal-supervision environment;

• Experience with writing modular, robust, scalable software in Python 3.x;

• Expertise in a few of the following areas: deep learning, natural language processing, information retrieval;

• Experience with deep learning packages such as PyTorch, JAX, or Tensorflow;

• Knowledge of professional software engineering best practices for the full software development life cycle, including testing methods, coding standards, code reviews, and source control management;

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative attitude.

What’s in it for you?

• Become part of a team that thinks progressively and works collaboratively. We care about seeing each other reach full potential;
