AI Jobs in Canada (2026)

Senior and mid level roles are tied exactly on the Canadian hub: 167 listings each as of September 2026, with lead, manager and architect positions at 87 and staff or principal at 81. That is an even split you do not see on the US or London pages. In total there are 537 live AI listings in Canada from the last 60 days, 54 of them posted in the past week, and about 49 percent are remote.

The employers are a mix of chip design, developer tools, enterprise software and consumer platforms. Tenstorrent has 16 open roles, Okta and Autodesk 15 each, Instacart and GitLab 11 each and Lyft 10. Titles like AI Compiler Engineer, Staff Firmware Engineer for edge ML, and Senior Machine Learning Engineer on a camera model point to the hardware and systems side of Canadian AI work, while Senior AI Applied Scientist II and Director of Applied AI cover the path from research to product.

By category, machine learning engineering leads with 132 listings, data engineering has 50, AI annotation and data labeling 20, and data science 17. Of the country-tagged listings, 412 are in Canada and 76 are in the US, the latter being cross-border remote roles that accept Canadian candidates, so do not filter those out if you are open to working for an American employer from Canada.

Sixteen percent of listings state a salary in US dollars, and the median midpoint among those is about $172,500 a year; listings that quote Canadian dollars are not part of that figure. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver have their own pages at /ai-jobs-toronto, /ai-jobs-montreal and /ai-jobs-vancouver, and /remote-ml-engineer-jobs is worth a look if you are willing to work remotely for a company based elsewhere.
