Job description

We are seeking a specialized 3D Product Interface Designer to focus exclusively on creating intuitive user experiences for our mining software platform's 3D visualization components. You will be responsible for designing interactive 3D interfaces that allow mining professionals to effectively navigate and manipulate complex spatial data. We are looking for someone who is highly productive, quick with prototyping, and has experience in UI/UX design. Ideally, this person can design interfaces and has a reasonable understanding of how to build them, even if they don't possess all the front-end skills. We are not looking for someone focused on the latest design trends, but rather someone who can create simple, tactical, and user-friendly interfaces for our mining industry users.

This is an hourly contract role with an hourly rate of $45-80 CAD / hour.

Why work at Stratum AI

Mission-Driven: Opportunity to directly improve mining efficiency, reduce waste (up to 41%), and have a measurable environmental impact — not just build abstract models.
Applied ML at Scale: Engineers work on end-to-end systems that go from research to production deployment in real mines, with ownership and autonomy.
Culture: Values ownership, autonomy, and practical problem-solving. Small team (~50 people) with a flat structure.
Remote/Hybrid: Hybrid workspace (employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work); many roles are fully remote across Canada, Australia, Chile, and Peru.
Global Reach: Work with mines and teams across 10 countries and 4 offices (Toronto, plus teams in Latin America and Australia).
Fast-Growing: 37.5% employee growth YoY, with recent roles posted for MLOps engineers, forward-deployed ML engineers, full stack engineers, 3D visualization developers, and director of business development.

About Stratum AI

Company Overview

One-liner: Stratum AI applies deep-tech AI and machine learning to improve decision-making in mining operations by creating more accurate resource, grade control, geometallurgical, and geotechnical models.
Entity Type: Private (Seed stage)
Headquarters: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Founded: 2018
Founders: Farzi Yusufali (Co-founder)

Core Business

Primary industry/industries: Mining technology (MiningTech), Artificial Intelligence, Deep Tech
Target customers: B2B enterprise — producing mines globally, including operations in North America, Latin America, and Australia
Mission or purpose statement: "To help production-mines make better decisions by applying machine learning to existing geological and operational data" — extracting more value from the data they already have, throughout the life of a mine.

Products & Services

SAIGE Technology Platform: AI-driven resource modeling platform that creates high-density multivariate geostatistical models for gold, copper, and other minerals. It supports resource, grade control, geometallurgical, and geotechnical models, enabling dynamic reconciliation and error correction between plan and production.
Drill Targeting & Brownfield Expansion: Uses AI to optimize drillhole spacing and improve confidence in brownfield exploration, reducing drilling costs.
Geometallurgical Modeling: Predicts recovery, hardness, fines generation, and other processing-related parameters to optimize feed blending strategies.
Geotechnical Modeling: Improves surface geotechnical characterization, identifies high-risk zones before instabilities occur, and integrates geotechnical drilling data with monitoring sensors and bench mapping.

Market Standing

Valuation/Market Cap: Not publicly available
Total Funding: USD 125,000 (across 2 seed rounds — Pre-Seed in June 2019 and Seed in March 2020), with additional seed round in August 2020 with 4 investors
Notable Investors/Partners: Details on specific lead investors not publicly named; the company has completed at least 2 funding rounds
Growth Signals: Headcount grew 37.5% year-over-year; currently employs ~50 people. The team spans 5 countries (Canada, US, Chile, Peru, Australia). Proven results released via ASX filings showing: -58% in deviations, 10% yield gained, -41% waste produced, +6% CIL material, +20% high-grade stockpile grade, ~25% fewer drilling requirements.

Competitive Advantages

Proprietary SAIGE Technology: The world’s first AI mineral resource modeling company, using deep-tech AI for production-phase mines — a highly underserved, high-value niche.
End-to-End Deployment: ML engineers work directly with mine teams, taking ownership from modeling through deployment in real projects.
Proven Economic Impact: Delivers measurable results (e.g., 10% yield gain, -41% waste reduction, -58% deviation reduction) as verified by ASX public filings.
Multivariate Modeling: Goes beyond grade to model hardness, fines generation, and other processing parameters — a key differentiator in the industry.

Strategic Focus

Continue scaling production-mine deployments globally, particularly in gold and copper.
Expand geometallurgical and geotechnical modeling capabilities to reduce operational risk.
Deepen presence in brownfield exploration, where operational decisions have the greatest economic impact.
Grow team across North America, Latin America, and Australia with a focus on applied ML engineers, geologists, and metallurgists.
