Job Offer
Data Scientist – Computer Vision & ML
📍Location : Hybrid – Quebec City or Remote (Canada)
🕒 Type: Full-Time
📊 Reporting to: General Manager
Who We Are
Can-Ex Technologies is transforming how sewer and underground infrastructure inspections are conducted. Through a combination of cutting-edge hardware and powerful SaaS, we help municipalities, engineering firms, and contractors collect and manage high-quality inspection data—faster and smarter than ever before.
We’re now building the foundation of our Data Team. We’re looking for a founding Data Scientist to lead the design and deployment of machine learning models that will automatically detect defects in video and image feeds—both in the cloud and on edge devices.

The Role
As a Data Scientist, you’ll lead the development of our computer vision capabilities, from defining architectures to deploying models in production environments. Your work will help unlock automation, improve operational decisions, and bring intelligence directly into the field.
You’ll work in tight collaboration with our Data Analyst & Data Engineer, our product & engineering teams, and the GM. Together, you’ll turn raw data into a strategic asset across our platform.
This role is ideal for someone who’s both visionary and hands-on—able to design, build, and deploy robust ML systems from scratch.
What You’ll Do
🔬 Design and train deep learning models for defect detection, segmentation, and classification in sewer inspection videos
🧠 Collaborate closely with the Data Engineer and Data Analyst to ensure labelled data pipelines and feedback loops are in place
🧱 Architect and implement end-to-end ML pipelines—from data prep to production deployment
☁️ Deploy models in both cloud environments and constrained edge devices
🎯 Evaluate model performance, iterate quickly, and maintain version control and validation
📦 Work with large, messy, real-world video and image data in a production context
📣 Share insights and explain model decisions to cross-functional stakeholders
Who You Are
- You love the full ML lifecycle—from idea to live production
- You thrive in ambiguity and are excited to be the first ML expert on a small, high-impact team
- You’re as comfortable discussing model architectures as you are debugging a bad frame
- You take pride in creating practical, deployable models—not just notebooks
Requirements
- Master’s degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field
- 4+ years of experience building and deploying ML models in production
- Strong foundation in computer vision, deep learning (CNNs, object detection, segmentation, etc.)
- Proficient in Python, TensorFlow and/or PyTorch
- Experience deploying models using GCP, and familiarity with edge inference constraints
- Comfort working with unlabeled/labeled video datasets at scale
- Experience in SaaS, industrial tech, robotics, or embedded ML (strong asset)
Why Join Us?
🔥 Founding opportunity – Be the architect of our ML and computer vision stack
🌐 Impact – Your models will power in-field intelligence and in-app automation
📈 Growth – Be part of a high-growth startup solving real-world infrastructure problems
🧠 End-to-end ownership – From labeling and training to deployment and iteration
💡 Innovation – Work with edge computing, real-time & 360 video, and practical AI
🚀 Culture – Work in a tight-knit, ambitious, and purpose-driven team
💰 Competitive compensation
