CQL · CAREERS

Build the sovereign
model layer.

We're a small team in Victoria, BC, training and shipping Canada's open-weight models. Real compute, real ownership — and everything we make is public.

I   /   WHY CQL

Three reasons engineers
join the lab.

We keep the team small on purpose. Everyone here owns a piece of the pipeline that actually ships — and can point at the artifact.

OWNERSHIP
Own the whole pipeline
Training runs, quant recipes, eval harnesses, serving — you won't be slotted into one layer. The person who trains the checkpoint ships the checkpoint.
COMPUTE
Real compute, no queue
Dedicated DGX B300 capacity on Canadian soil. Experiments start when you're ready — not when a shared cluster frees up.
OPEN
Open by default
Weights, recipes, benchmarks, and engineering logs — we publish all of it. Your work has your name on it, and the community runs it.
II   /   OPEN ROLES

Open roles.

Based in Victoria, BC — hybrid. We hire people who have shipped something they can show us: a checkpoint, a kernel, an eval, a write-up.

More roles open as the cluster grows. Exceptional people should write anyway — careers@cql.ca.

III   /   GENERAL

Don't see
your role?

If you've trained models, written kernels, or built evals you're proud of, we want to see them. Tell us what you built — and what you'd want to own here.
