Full-Stack Engineer (Frontend and Backend)
About StratumAI
We're Stratum, a mining software company with machine learning models as our core product. Our 3D maps predict how gold, silver, copper, etc. are distributed (and how much!) using only small amounts of data, unconventional data processing, and proprietary ML protocols. Our work directly affects how much money a mine is going to make next week/month/year while reducing waste/cost. We\'re supported by Founders Fund, Aramco, Builders VC, Y Combinator, and Ilya Sutskever, former Chief Scientist at OpenAI, who have recognized the potential of our industry-disrupting technology. We\'re at an inflection point where mining companies are coming to us, and we need a skilled Full-Stack Engineer to help prioritize features and drive our product roadmap!
Role Overview
We are looking for a self-driven Full-Stack Engineer to join our Platform team. This role focuses on developing and enhancing our web-based dashboard platform where mining companies upload data, visualize 3D resource models, and access our AI-generated insights. You will be responsible for both frontend user interfaces and backend systems that power our platform, ensuring seamless data flow from mining operations to our AI models and back to our clients. This position requires strong expertise in both frontend and backend technologies, with experience in building data-intensive web applications. This is a remote-first position, with a preference for applicants based in Canada.
Key Responsibilities
Frontend:
Develop and maintain our web-based dashboard that serves as the primary interface between clients and our AI technology
Create intuitive data upload interfaces supporting CSV and customizable formats for mining datasets
Implement interactive 3D visualizations of block models with xyz coordinates and predicted values
Build responsive, user-friendly dashboards that display model results, analytics, and performance metrics
Ensure compatibility with mining industry software (Leapfrog, Geovia GEMS, Vulcan, etc.)
Optimize interfaces for real-time access from both site and corporate locations
Backend:
Design and develop RESTful APIs and services that connect our frontend with AI models
Implement secure data storage and processing pipelines on AWS
Create efficient systems for model delivery on weekly to monthly update schedules
Develop version control and data exchange mechanisms within our SAIGE platform
Integrate with our proprietary deep learning systems to present results through the dashboard
Implement monitoring systems to track model quality and performance over time
General:
Collaborate with ML engineers, mining experts, and product teams to develop features that address client needs
Participate in code reviews and ensure high-quality implementation
Identify opportunities for performance optimization and technical improvements
Document systems for knowledge sharing and maintenance
Communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Experience with version control systems (Git)
Demonstrated ability to frame technical problems within business/domain contexts
Ability to solve real-world problems in industries outside your professional domain
Nice to Have
Experience with 3D visualization or geospatial data
Experience with data visualization libraries (D3.js, Three.js, Pixijs, Babylon)
Knowledge of mining software or geological data formats
Background in resource modeling or understanding of geological sciences
Experience implementing security best practices (SOC 2 compliance)
Familiarity with Python (our ML stack)
Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
Additional language proficiency for international client support
Culture Fit
We are looking for people who are:
Self-driven: You thrive on autonomy and enjoy solving complex problems to get the most impactful solution.
Detail-oriented: You can identify the one line that differentiates good code from bad code.
Team-oriented: You value collaboration and communication knowing that the best solutions often come from working closely with others.
Curious about real-world problems: You have interest in learning how industries outside of your professional domain operate.
Flexible with time: You\'re open to working not long but occasionally odd hours to accommodate overseas clients (some weekend calls may be required).
If you\'re an exceptional engineer interested in helping make our vision a reality, we look forward to reviewing your application and working together.
