Credit risk modelling data scientist developing and maintaining models for Desjardins. Guiding risk quantification, credit decisions, compliance, and practitioner - led modelling projects.
About the role
- Data Science Intern enhancing Earth Index core capabilities for AI-powered environmental mapping. Advancing foundational models and evaluation methodologies in a remote-first team.
Responsibilities
- Help design and build a comprehensive benchmarking suite for evaluating foundation models against Earth Index use cases, including defining metrics, curating evaluation datasets, and implementing reproducible evaluation pipelines
- Experiment with approaches for combining embeddings from multiple foundation models, exploring ensemble methods, learned projections, and other fusion strategies to improve detection quality
- Develop and test workflows for post-processing Earth Index detections, including clustering, filtering, confidence scoring, and spatial analysis to turn raw model outputs into clean, actionable results
- Explore advanced embedding applications such as change detection (comparing embeddings across time) and multi-scale search (working across different spatial resolutions)
- Write clean, well-documented, shareable code that integrates with existing Earth Index codebases
- Document experimental results, design decisions, and methodology clearly enough that the team can build on your work after the internship ends.
Requirements
- Currently pursuing (or recently completed) a graduate-level degree in computer science, machine learning, data science, or a related quantitative field
- Solid Python skills and experience working with ML frameworks (PyTorch, scikit-learn, etc.)
- Project experience in machine learning, particularly in areas like embeddings, computer vision, or model evaluation
- Comfort working with large datasets and familiarity with concepts like vector similarity search, dimensionality reduction, or transfer learning
- Experience with remote sensing or geospatial data
- Methodical, experiment-driven mindset; you document what you try, not just what works
- Ability to work independently, manage your own time, and communicate progress clearly in a distributed team.
Benefits
- Travel costs will be covered for Earth Genome offsites and any relevant workshops.
