Working closely with the CTO & Co-founder, you will own the product's ML core and shape its technical direction as the company scales. \nTo be clear: This is a highly hands-on role, not a corporate, LLM-wrapper, or prompt-engineering position. \nWe are looking for an ML/Deep Learning practitioner with a strong mathematical background who writes custom training loops, designs architectures (PyTorch/TensorFlow), and optimizes models for edge inference. As a primary builder from day one, your mission is to train deep learning models from scratch, develop robust computer vision pipelines, and integrate these capabilities into a commercially viable, physical robotics product within a high-performing engineering culture.\nYour responsibilities\nOwning the AI/ML core of the product, working closely with the CTO & Co-founder to align it with the overall technical strategy,\n\nWriting custom training loops, designing and implementing neural network architectures (e.g., in PyTorch), and managing the end-to-end lifecycle from raw data processing to edge deployment,\n\nBuilding the AI/ML components of the MVP (managing the end-to-end AI/ML model lifecycle, from architecture design to training and fine-tuning and - where relevant - hardware control interfaces),\n\nProposing and helping define the AI/ML stack and model architecture,\n\nMonitoring AI, computer vision, and robotics trends to maintain a competitive technological edge,\n\nWorking closely with the CTO and, as the team grows, mentoring engineers joining the AI/ML function,\n\nTranslating customer feedback and market needs into robust AI/ML technical requirements,\n\nContributing to an internal culture focused on code quality, ownership, rapid iteration, and high execution standards.\n\nWho we are looking for (must-have)\n3+ years of end-to-end Deep Learning experience: From data processing and architecture design to training models from scratch and deep fine-tuning (no API prompting). \n\nAdvanced framework proficiency: Deep understanding of modern DL tools (PyTorch preferred), including writing custom data loaders and loss functions. \n\nComputer Vision expertise: Hands-on background with CNNs, ViTs, object detection, and segmentation. \n\nSolid software engineering foundation: Proven track record of building and shipping ML components in real, production-ready products. \n\nStartup mindset: Pragmatic, analytical, and comfortable in fast-paced, high-uncertainty environments where rapid execution beats over-engineered code. \n\nLanguage skills: Fluent Polish and English (spoken and written).\n\nNice to have\nExperience with hardware control/integration of AI models with physical systems (robotics, embedded systems, IoT),\n\nExperience with robotics technologies (ROS/ROS2, simulation environments, control systems),\n\nExperience in robotics automation platforms, cloud-edge architecture, or industrial automation,\n\nBackground in deep-tech, robotics, or engineering-driven startups,\n\nHands-on experience in computer vision,\n\nPrior leadership experience (Lead Engineer, Tech Lead) is a plus, though not required.\n\nWhat we offer\nKey technical role in the founding team of a robotics startup, with real influence over the AI/ML direction of the product,\n\nOpportunity to build the AI/ML core of a robotics startup from scratch,\n\nRemuneration: at least PLN 18 000 net B2B + VAT,\n\nEquity/incentive package as the company and role grow,\n\nSupport from an experienced startup studio and capital group,\n\nAccess to industry experts and startup-building know-how,\n\nFast decision-making and a high-impact environment.\n\nRed Sky is conducting this recruitment process.
