What you need

  • 6+ years of industry experience in computer vision, machine learning, or a related field
  • Deep expertise in classic computer vision techniques, including strong practical knowledge of optical flow, multi-view geometry, feature matching, and homography estimation (e.g., using OpenCV)
  • Strong foundational understanding of modern deep learning architectures, specifically for object detection, image classification, and semantic/instance segmentation
  • Production-level programming skills in Python
  • Extensive hands-on experience with PyTorch and building scalable model training and evaluation pipelines
  • Proven track record of optimizing complex algorithms for deployment in resource-constrained or real-time environments

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with state-of-the-art segmentation frameworks and zero-shot/foundation models (e.g., SAM, Mask2Former, Grounding DINO)
  • Experience working alongside mobile teams to integrate computer vision models into native SDKs (iOS/Android)
  • Experience translating computer vision algorithms into Apple frameworks and iOS
  • Background in retail tech or AR-based scanning applications

Worth weighing

  • Hybrid work model with 3 days in office required
  • Fast-paced and evolving environment may require adaptability
  • Focus on practical problem solving and clear communication is emphasized
