Your Next Role is Waiting

Women in AI and ML, your skills are in demand. Make sure demand can find you.

Toast is a tech-enabled recruitment firm and one of Canada's largest communities for women in tech. We're launching the Toast Talent Marketplace, a platform where companies discover women talent directly, and AI/ML is one of the most requested categories on it.

This is a general posting. We're building our AI/ML talent pool ahead of upcoming roles: machine learning engineering, applied AI, agents, LLM and GenAI work, MLOps, data science, and research engineering. If you're a woman working in AI or ML, we want your profile in the marketplace.

Why join the talent pool?

Companies building with AI and committed to hiring women can discover you based on your actual experience, not keyword roulette
You get matched to roles the moment they open
Your salary expectations are part of your profile from the start
You stay visible for future opportunities without lifting a finger
You don't have to be job hunting to benefit. You just need to want better options when the time is right.

Who should apply

Women in AI/ML at every level: ML Engineer, Senior ML Engineer, Staff, Applied Scientist, Research Engineer, AI Engineering Lead, Director, VP. All locations welcome.

This is for you if you see yourself in any of these (the list is far from exhaustive):

You're building real things in a hyped field but don't feel seen where you are
You want a company that's serious about AI and serious about keeping the people who build it
You're tired of being the only woman on the team and want an employer that's intentional about changing that
You're not actively looking, but you'd take the right call
You're looking to pivot into AI/ML from adjacent work like software engineering or data, and want companies to see your trajectory

Salary expectations

These ranges reflect national market data across major Canadian tech hubs based on the 2025 Randstad Salary Guide. Actual compensation varies by location, experience, skills, and company. Major metros like Toronto and Vancouver typically sit at the higher end, while smaller markets may be lower. When you create your Toast Talent Portal profile, you'll set your own salary expectations so companies can match you to roles that align with what you're looking for.

Junior (ML Engineer/Data Scientist): $80K - $105K
Intermediate (Senior ML Engineer): $105K - $140K
Senior (Staff/Applied Scientist): $140K - $180K
Exec (Lead/Director/VP): $180K - $240K+

Not sure where you land? Rollie, our AI career agent inside the portal, is trained on salary datasets and real conversations from our own recruiters. Ask Rollie anything about your market value. You get access as soon as you join the pool.

How it works

Apply to this posting with your resume
You'll receive an email with a link to create your Toast Talent Portal account
Creating your portal account is required. Your application is only complete once your profile is live in the portal. This is what puts you in front of hiring companies.
Hold tight while we build. Once the marketplace is live, clients will reach out to you directly. In the meantime, make sure your profile is up to snuff so you're ready when they come looking.
