This role focuses on building scalable computer vision and machine learning models, mentoring junior engineers, and driving the full lifecycle of computer vision and machine learning model development.

You will be the technical lead for a team of Computer Vision and Machine Learning engineers and/or data scientists focused on ensuring that computer vision and machine learning models are robust, high-performing, and seamlessly integrated into production systems. This position involves both hands-on engineering work and leadership responsibilities in a dynamic environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement computer vision and machine learning models and components that solve real-world business problems in close collaboration with Product, business units, and Data Science teams.

• Write production-grade code for ML models as services and APIs.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including data engineering and software development, to integrate computer vision and machine learning models into production systems.

• Build and maintain scalable data processing workflows and model deployment infrastructure.

• Debug and resolve model performance issues, track relevant metrics, and implement continuous improvements to ensure model accuracy and reliability.

• Keep up with the latest CV and ML tooling and communities.

• Lead the design and implementation of complex computer vision and machine learning models across various business units.

• Architect and develop scalable infrastructure for automated model training, hyperparameter tuning, and deployment.

• Mentor and guide junior engineers, collaborating closely with computer vision and machine learning engineers to optimize and refine models.

• Own the end-to-end systems for model monitoring, maintenance, and retraining to ensure high availability and performance.

Minimum Qualifications

• B.S. in computer science, computer & electrical engineering or related discipline, M.S. in computer vision, machine learning, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field or equivalent work experience in CV domain (see below).
