This is a high-impact, hands-on role for a research-minded engineer who wants to build and ship models, not manage a team. Much of the work involves large-scale visual understanding, extracting structured signals from imagery and reasoning about the real-world context behind a photograph, but we care more about deep ML/CV ability than any one problem area and welcome strong generalists.Responsibilities:**
- Build, train, evaluate, and deploy computer vision and multimodal models, taking them from early prototype through to production
- Design systems that infer structured attributes and spatial context from imagery, combining learned models with geometric and heuristic reasoning
- Train and fine-tune models on large, diverse real-world image datasets, and build the pipelines to curate and label that data at scale
- Work with vision-language models (VLMs) and build rigorous evaluation frameworks to measure their accuracy on our tasks
- Develop and benchmark high-performance image retrieval capabilities with embedding models and vector indexing strategies
- Optimize models for inference latency and throughput using techniques like distillation, quantization, and GPU acceleration
- Read current research, prototype novel algorithms from academic literature, and turn promising ideas into reliable production code
- Implement efficient, scalable data pipelines and inference infrastructure
- Develop high-performance tooling in ML and data engineering
- Additional duties and responsibilities as reasonably required by the employee’s supervisor or CEORequirements and Experience
