We are looking for a Senior

Machine Learning Engineer to lead the development of production-grade computer vision solutions that solve real customer problems. You'll drive projects across the full machine learning lifecycle - from understanding business requirements and designing technical solutions to deploying, operating, and continuously improving models in production.

We're building a team of end-to-end ML engineers rather than specialists. As a Senior Engineer, you'll take ownership of complex technical challenges, influence engineering direction, mentor other engineers, and help establish best practices across the team.

Strong Python engineering skills are essential. A significant part of your work will involve designing reusable ML infrastructure, improving developer workflows, and building production-quality software that enables the entire team to move faster.

What you'll be doing

• Lead the design, development, and deployment of production-ready computer vision solutions.

• Own complex ML projects from problem definition through production deployment and long-term maintenance.

• Translate business and product requirements into scalable machine learning architectures.

• Drive the complete ML lifecycle, including data strategy, annotation processes, dataset management, experimentation, model development, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.

• Design and build reusable Python libraries, ML frameworks, and internal tooling that improve engineering efficiency.

• Deliver reliable, maintainable, well-tested, and scalable production code.

• Collaborate closely with software engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders to maximize customer value.

• Improve model quality through rigorous experimentation, performance analysis, and data-driven decision making.

• Lead engineering initiatives around reproducibility, testing, CI/CD, observability, MLOps, and deployment best practices.

• Mentor other Machine Learning Engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.

• Contribute to technical architecture decisions and help shape the long-term direction of the ML platform.

What we need to see

• 5+ years of commercial experience building and deploying machine learning systems.

• Strong understanding of machine learning fundamentals, including:

  • supervised, unsupervised, and self-supervised learning,

  • optimization,

  • probability and statistics,

  • linear algebra,

  • model evaluation and validation.

• Deep understanding of the entire machine learning lifecycle and the practical challenges of operating ML systems in production.

• Excellent Python software engineering skills, including:

  • writing clean, maintainable, and testable code,

  • algorithms and data structures,

  • debugging and performance optimization,

  • designing reusable libraries and APIs.

• Extensive experience developing deep learning models using PyTorch.

• Experience designing production ML systems with scalability, reliability, and maintainability in mind.

• Strong understanding that successful ML products depend equally on data quality, evaluation methodology, software engineering, and deployment.

• Proven ability to independently lead technical initiatives from concept to production.

• Experience mentoring engineers and providing technical leadership.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Ways to stand out

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, NVIDIA Triton, ONNX, TensorRT, Object Detection.

• Strong experience with MLOps tools and production ML infrastructure.

• Contributions to open-source ML projects or technical publications.

• Extensive experience building production computer vision systems.

• Experience optimizing model inference, latency, and deployment efficiency.

• Experience designing large-scale datasets, annotation pipelines, and data quality processes.

• Experience building internal ML platforms, frameworks, or developer tooling.

• Experience shipping customer-facing AI products in a fast-paced startup environment.

What we offer

• Direct collaboration with company founders using bleeding-edge technology.

• Opportunity to shape the technical direction of our AI platform.

• Exciting technical challenges with real ownership and impact.

• Opportunity to accelerate your career.

• Friendly, start-up office atmosphere.

• Gaining experience in a dynamically growing company.

• Fully remote work model.

• Fitness and Health membership benefits.

• Gaming laptop for work.

• Company off-sites and team activities.
