Lead Machine Learning Engineer Computer Vision

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of end-to-end computer vision systems, from data acquisition and preprocessing to model deployment and monitoring.
• Architect scalable ML pipelines for vision domain including detection, segmentation, and multimodal learning, ensuring reliability in both batch and real-time environments.
• Drive research and adoption of state-of-the-art CV and ML techniques (e.g., Transformers, Vision-Language Models, diffusion models) to solve complex image understanding problems.
• Oversee the collection, annotation, and augmentation of training datasets, ensuring diversity and quality for robust model performance.
• Build frameworks for model experimentation, reproducibility, and lifecycle management (MLflow, Weights & Biases, or similar).
• Collaborate with data engineers to integrate ML workflows into scalable data pipelines and ensure smooth deployment on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Partner with product and business teams to translate business needs into ML solutions, balancing research depth with delivery timelines.
• Establish and enforce best practices for ML code quality, testing, version control, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Mentor and lead a team of ML/CV engineers, conducting code reviews, guiding experiments, and fostering a culture of technical excellence.
• Represent the ML team in cross-functional discussions, contributing to long-term AI/ML strategy and roadmap.
