About the job
Build and deploy production multimodal machine-learning systems for a hardware product, from model orchestration and evaluation to constrained-device inference and interactive interfaces.
What you'll do
- Build production image- and video-reasoning pipelines with multiple steps and tool calls; create evaluation and customer-feedback loops.
- Optimize edge inference and runtimes, including model fallback for connectivity and latency constraints.
- Train and fine-tune open-source models for on-premise deployment and develop interactive audio and visual interfaces.
What they ask for
- Production experience delivering vision-language or other multimodal systems for real users, including models and orchestration.
- Experience in an early-stage startup or another high-intensity engineering environment, with visible builder experience.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, machine learning, or engineering, or equivalent proof through shipped production AI systems.
- Hands-on experience with fine-tuning, evaluation design, model orchestration, multi-step agent workflows using real tools, and deploying open-weight models on constrained or on-premise hardware, including quantization; able to work on-site five days a week.
Nice to have
- Production experience with AR, wearable AI, or autonomous-driving computer vision.
- Master's work involving vision or multimodal research; proficiency in Python and PyTorch.
