What you’ll enjoy in this role

From day one, you get the space to explore, experiment, and grow. You will work on machine‑learning and computer‑vision models that power our products in the field. And because we trust your technical judgment, you’ll be able to take the lead on model‑level decisions within your projects.

You’ll also enjoy:

Hands‑on innovation – You get to test, compare, and adopt the latest AI/ML tools, frameworks, and techniques.
Impactful work – The models you build help customers operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently.
A collaborative environment – You work side‑by‑side with software and cloud engineers to bring your models into production.
Room to grow – We support your development through knowledge‑sharing sessions, documentation standards, and access to strong internal expertise.
Modern tooling – We offer access to compute resources, datasets, test environments, and a full modern ML toolchain.

What you’ll be doing

Your work is broad, meaningful, and varied. You will:

Design, train, validate, and optimize ML and computer‑vision models.
Build scalable training and evaluation pipelines that meet ISO and internal quality standards.
Integrate models into cloud or edge production systems together with our engineering teams.
Monitor performance, diagnose issues, and keep our models reliable.
Explore new technologies and identify ways to improve our workflows.
Contribute to documentation, reviews, and team learning.
