About Us:
AltaML is a leading North American applied AI company with extensive experience in building and operationalizing AI software solutions.

We are a company like no other – we believe in making small bets, failing fast, and being better together. We are looking for creative problem-solvers who obsess about the customer to find wins across different industries.

We don’t hire for fit; we hire to add. We are looking for people who play our core values of being: Agile, Gritty Humble, and Happy. If you’re passionate about AI/ML, thrive in a dynamic environment, and want to work with a diverse team of wickedly smart people, we want to hear from you!

About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, with a strong machine learning passion. In this role, you will own technical delivery end-to-end, from shaping the architecture of ML-powered applications to leading implementation across cloud services, APIs, and modern front-end frameworks.

You’ll lead epic-level solution design, mentor developers, contribute to shared internal frameworks, and help shape how we evaluate and deploy emerging technologies. This is a hybrid role that requires regular in-office attendance at our Toronto office.

You will thrive in this role if you are:
- A builder at heart: equally comfortable spinning up prototypes quickly as you are  scaling production-grade systems.
- A strong communicator who can translate between business requirements and technical realities.
- A decision-maker who brings clarity to ambiguous technical challenges.
- Excited by ML-enabled product development and eager to bridge software engineering with intelligent automation.
