Job Description

We're looking for an experienced engineer to drive the technical vision, architecture, and delivery of Python and Computer Vision solutions. Whether you're an established Tech Lead or a strong Senior ready to step up, we want to talk.

  • Lead complex problem-solving and innovation in CV solutions
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to deliver business-driven solutions
  • Define and drive technical strategy aligned with business and client goals
  • Design and own end-to-end Computer Vision systems (data → model → deployment)
  • Establish engineering and MLOps best practices
  • Mentor engineers and lead technical direction across teams
  • Manage technical risks, compliance, and system sustainability

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of hands-on engineering experience building and shipping production systems
  • Track record of taking systems from prototype to production
  • Solid experience with Computer Vision (e.g., detection, segmentation, OCR, tracking, video analytics) - or strong ML/deep learning experience with a clear path into CV
  • Proficiency in Python & C++
  • Hands-on experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, and OpenCV
  • Working knowledge of deep learning fundamentals (CNNs, Transformers)

Soft Skills  

  • Problem-solving and innovation mindset
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management
  • Strong strategic thinking with a business-impact mindset
  • Ability to influence technical direction across teams
  • Leadership and mentorship capability -- or clear potential to grow into it

Nice to Have 

  • Prior Tech Lead experience, with a track record of driving cross-functional teams
  • Experience with MLOps practices (CI/CD, monitoring, ML pipelines)
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and distributed systems (Kubernetes, Spark)
  • Bachelor's or Master's in a relevant technical field (but, we care far more about what you've built than what you've studied)
  • Experience with Generative AI or multi-modal systems
  • Experience working with international clients or in outsourcing environments
  • Contributions to research, publications, or open source
