Inteligencia Artificial jobs in Canada

The Opportunity: You will join the Trustworthy AI team, a tight group of researchers and developers working on cutting-edge projects in explainable AI, AI compliance, data quality and data value for data markets and data spaces. We’re looking for a smart, curious person who can dive into a diversity of topics and efficiently translate research outputs into AI and data prototypes or products.

Who we are

We’re a technology centre based in Catalonia and one of the biggest tech centres in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region. The Big Data & Data Science Unit takes part in R&D projects covering a diversity of domains for stakeholders in Europe, Spain and Catalunya. We believe that the benefits of AI and data should be fairly distributed among contributing individuals and believe in the social impact of what we do. We develop domain-agnostic technology, meaning that we’re curious, value a research mindset, and can quickly, but reliably prototype our ideas. Cooperation is chief amongst us and the expertise of one member quickly diffuses through the team, so others can benefit from it as well.

• Analyse project requirements and identify research directions.
• Research the state of the art, synthesise findings, and identify research and technology gaps.
• Conceptualise, design and implement AI and data solutions.
• Communicate your results with the team and project stakeholders. If interested, join us in writing papers and presenting them in relevant venues.
• Participate in writing project proposals – this is an opportunity to target projects and areas that we’re passionate about and seek funding.

This is a full-time position, in our Barcelona offices or any of our other local offices (Corporate offices of Eurecat in the territory).

The team works partly remote (2 days per week at the office).

Be sure to include links to your portfolio of projects (your Git page, links to projects you’ve developed and deployed, etc.) or scientific papers.
