Principal Computer Vision Scientist
Senior technical leader for our Computer Vision and AI/ML work. You'll own model architecture and experimentation through to production, and set the standards the team builds against. PhD-level role spanning research, engineering, and production systems.
What you'll do
- Lead research, design, and delivery of CV and AI/ML solutions
- Define model architecture, experiment strategy, validation methodology, and production-readiness criteria
- Train, fine-tune, and deploy models for object detection, segmentation, classification, OCR, feature matching, and visual search
- Own the full model lifecycle: dataset quality, annotation, training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring
- Build prototypes and PoCs; analyze failure cases and drive improvements
- Review and improve CV pipelines for latency, scalability, and reliability
- Set standards for evaluation, versioning, dataset management, and MLOps; mentor engineers
What you'll need
- PhD in CS, Computer Vision, ML, AI, Applied Math, EE, Robotics, or related field
- 7+ years hands-on ML/deep learning with a strong CV focus
- Strong Python; PyTorch and/or TensorFlow; OpenCV, NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn
- Solid grasp of classical CV and modern architectures (CNNs, ViT, YOLO, Mask R-CNN, CLIP/SAM-like)
- Proven experience taking models to production and optimizing for latency, memory, and scale
- REST APIs, Docker, CI/CD, model versioning, experiment tracking, MLOps
- Strong data/annotation/error-analysis discipline; Agile; ownership mindset
