The LISA machine learning lab looking for a full-time software developer with experience in large code bases constructed by a team of programmers, with at least a bachelor degree in computer science or software engineering or the equivalent. Preference is given to those with experience in python and C/C++ under linux and open-source code management tools. Prior knowledge in machine learning and statistics are a plus but not necessary to start the job (they will be acquired or refined over the first few months on the job).

That person will be expected to present and explain his ideas and his work, verbally or in writing, and to interact with the lab’s industrial partners, who apply and port into their products the algorithms developed in the lab. Knowledge of French is a plus, as both French and English are used in the lab.
To abide by Canadian labor laws, preference must be given to Canadian citizens or residents.
