Machine Learning Engineer

Orgn Technologies is building infrastructure for the physical collectibles market, starting with high-value trading cards, sports cards, comics, and related collector assets. Our goal is to create a trusted platform where collectors can discover, verify, manage, and safely trade physical collectibles online.

We are early-stage, funded, and building toward our MVP. The engineering team is small, hands-on, and focused on shipping reliable systems from first principles. We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer who can help build AI/ML systems for provenance, ownership verification, item intelligence, fraud detection, search, and marketplace trust.

This is a practical engineering role. You will work close to product and backend engineering, turning ambiguous marketplace and verification problems into production systems.

Location: Richmond, BC

Work Model: On-site/hybrid. The initial phase is expected to be mostly in office for fast team building and product execution, with hybrid flexibility as the team scales.

Employment Type: Full-time, permanent

Pay: CA$95,000.00-CA$135,000.00 per year + Stock Options

What You’ll Do

Design, build, and deploy ML systems that support collectible verification, provenance signals, item matching, search, recommendations, trust, and fraud detection
Work with structured and unstructured data, including item metadata, images, text descriptions, transaction signals, and marketplace activity
Build evaluation pipelines for model quality, confidence scoring, false positives, false negatives, and human review workflows
Prototype and productionize computer vision, LLM, embedding, classification, ranking, or anomaly detection systems where appropriate
Collaborate with backend engineers working in Node.js and TypeScript to integrate ML services into the product
Create reliable APIs, data pipelines, monitoring, and feedback loops for ML-powered product features
Help define what should be automated, what should stay human-reviewed, and how confidence should be represented to users
Document assumptions, model limitations, risks, and tradeoffs clearly

What We’re Looking For

Experience building ML or AI systems that solve real product or operational problems
Strong Python skills and familiarity with ML libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, pandas, OpenCV, or similar
Ability to evaluate model performance beyond simple accuracy, including edge cases, error analysis, and production failure modes
Experience working with APIs, cloud services, databases, queues, or backend systems
Comfort operating in an early-stage startup where requirements are evolving and ownership is high
Clear communication, pragmatic technical judgment, and the ability to explain tradeoffs to technical and non-technical teammates

Nice to Have

Experience with computer vision, image similarity, embeddings, vector databases, LLMs, RAG, or multimodal models
Experience with marketplace, fraud, trust and safety, collectibles, authentication, logistics, fintech, or high-value asset platforms
Familiarity with MLOps tools such as MLflow, Weights & Biases, Airflow, or similar
Experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, or Next.js
Interest in trading cards, sports cards, TCGs, comics, or collector communities
