Our hiring process

01

Apply

Start by submitting your CV. If your credentials meet the requirements for the role, we’ll schedule an in-person interview at our MaRS offices in downtown Toronto.

02

Technical test

Your first interview will be conducted with the appropriate tech lead. You will complete three stages (Math, Coding and ML) of technical testing to assess your relevant problem solving abilities.

03

Final interview

Following the technical interview, you will meet with one of our founders to discuss your previous work/school experience and your aspirations in machine learning.

04

Receive offer

Only the most technically accomplished candidates with a strong culture fit will be offered employment packages.

Technical test sample questions

Coding Question: Implement a function to compute the number of occurrences of a digit k in all numbers between a and b where a >=0 and b >= a. Estimate the runtime of your function. You can use Java, C++, Python or Scala.

Math Question #1: Write a function sample_x( ) to draw independent samples of a random variable with probability density function

Assume you have a function RNG( ) that returns independent floats uniformly distributed in [0,1]. Can you find a way of doing this that runs in a deterministic amount of time?

Math Question #2: Consider the loss function L(x, y) = ½ ( ax² + by² ). Here x and y are the parameters, and a and b are positive constants. For what values of the learning rate will gradient descent converge to the minimum?
