Who we are:

GoMaterials is one of Canada's fastest-growing companies, recognized by Deloitte, the Globe & Mail, and the Lazaridis Scaleup Program. We’re revolutionizing how landscape contractors source plant and hardscape materials through a B2B marketplace that simplifies procurement in a traditionally outdated industry.
Since our inception, we have helped landscapers save time, money, and stress and plant over 1.5 million plants and trees. Led by a young and eager group of entrepreneurs, GoMaterials is aggressively expanding across North America. We are therefore looking for amazing people to add to our team!

  • Optimize compute resource usage across Azure VMs, clusters, and ML pipelines.
  • ML Project Validation & Monitoring
  • Implement validation frameworks for ML and OR experiments to ensure reproducibility, correctness, and robustness.
  • Develop automated pipelines for model evaluation, testing, and benchmarking against baselines.
  • Build monitoring dashboards in Azure ML Studio and related tools to track model performance, drift, and system reliability.
  • Ensure compliance with data governance, versioning, and auditability standards.
  • Code Quality & Collaboration
  • Establish and enforce coding standards, version control practices, and automated testing for ML/OR codebases.
  • Partner with Data Scientists and OR Engineers to transform research prototypes into production-ready code.
  • Conduct peer code reviews and mentor team members on best practices.
  • Cross-Functional Contribution
  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to integrate ML/OR solutions into core products.
