Principal Machine Learning Engineer

Wiser Solutions is seeking a Principal Machine Learning Engineer to shape and execute our AI and data science strategy. This is a senior technical leadership role for someone who combines deep expertise in machine learning, data science, and production engineering with the business acumen to translate complex capabilities into customer value.

Requirements

• 15+ years of experience in data science, machine learning, or ML engineering, with demonstrated progression into technical leadership
• Deep expertise in statistical methods, experimental design, and classical ML (not just LLM integration)
• Proven ability to architect and deliver production ML/AI systems at scale on cloud platforms (AWS strongly preferred)
• Strong software engineering fundamentals: you write production-quality code, not just notebooks
• Track record of organization-wide technical influence—setting standards, driving architectural decisions, mentoring engineers
• Experience communicating technical strategy and capabilities to non-technical stakeholders, including customers and executives
• Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously, identify high-impact problems, and drive initiatives without close direction
• Active, daily use of AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) and a demonstrated belief that AI fundamentally changes how software gets built

Benefits

• Base pay: CAD$215,000 to $230,000
• Performance-based discretionary bonuses and variable pay plans
