Experience Level

Mid to Senior

Qualifications

15+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, or ML engineering, with a proven track record of ascending into technical leadership roles. Extensive expertise in statistical methods, experimental design, and classical machine learning (beyond just LLM integration). Demonstrated success in architecting and delivering scalable production ML/AI systems on cloud platforms (preferably AWS). Solid software engineering foundations: ability to produce production-quality code, not just notebooks. History of influencing organizational technical standards—establishing protocols, driving architectural choices, and mentoring fellow engineers. Experience in communicating technical strategies and capabilities to non-technical stakeholders, including clients and executives. Proven ability to work independently, identify impactful challenges, and lead initiatives without constant oversight. Regular, hands-on use of AI coding assistants (such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) and a demonstrated commitment to leveraging AI in daily practices.

About the job

LOCATION: This position can be based anywhere in Canada, with a preference for candidates in the Eastern or Central time zones who can collaborate effectively with our teams across the US, Europe, and India.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Wiser Solutions is on the lookout for a dynamic Principal Machine Learning Engineer to lead and execute our AI and data science strategies. This senior-level technical leadership role demands an individual with profound knowledge in machine learning, data science, and production engineering paired with the business insight required to turn complex capabilities into tangible customer value.

As the technical authority for AI at Wiser, you will guide architectural direction, represent our capabilities to clients and partners, and oversee the delivery of production systems that yield measurable business benefits. This role necessitates the ability to seamlessly transition from strategic planning to hands-on implementation, capable of presenting to executives while also troubleshooting production pipelines within the same week.

At Wiser, we are cultivating an AI-native engineering culture where AI tools and techniques are integrated into our daily operations, not just the products we create. We seek a Principal AI Engineer who not only delivers AI solutions but also exemplifies AI-enhanced methodologies, supporting the broader engineering team in their adoption. If you believe in the transformative power of AI in software development and embody that transformation in your work, we want to hear from you.

What You Will Do

Strategic Leadership

  • Define and evolve Wiser's AI and data science technical strategy in collaboration with product and business leadership.
  • Articulate Wiser's AI capabilities to customers, partners, and advisors, outlining our approach, roadmap, and unique selling points.
  • Identify significant opportunities where AI can address customer challenges or provide a competitive edge.
  • Establish technical standards and best practices that guide engineering decisions across the organization.

Technical Execution

  • Architect and develop production AI systems, including LLM applications, RAG pipelines, semantic search, and traditional machine learning models.
  • Create robust evaluation frameworks, experimentation methodologies, and monitoring systems to ensure AI solutions deliver reliable and measurable outcomes.
  • Integrate classical data science techniques (statistical modeling, experimentation design, feature engineering) with contemporary generative AI methodologies.
  • Oversee the technical quality of AI systems from data pipelines through to model deployment and production observability.

Cross-Functional Impact

  • Collaborate with product management to translate business requirements into technical solutions, validating them against customer needs.
  • Mentor and uplift the AI/data science team (3-5 engineers), raising the technical standards across the board.
