We are seeking a talented Computer Vision / Machine Learning Engineer to join our global team. In this role, you will develop and optimize multi‑modal models and computer vision systems, driving performance, efficiency, and real‑world deployment. The ideal candidate has hands‑on experience with multi‑modal model training and optimization, a strong foundation in computer vision, and solid C++ engineering skills. Key Responsibilities Research and implement multi‑modal large models (image-text, image-audio, etc.) training, fine‑tuning, and inference optimization strategies, continuously improving model performance, efficiency, and generalization ability. Design and optimize computer vision models and algorithms (e.g., detection, classification, segmentation, feature extraction) to support real‑world applications. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (product, engineering, data) to translate research into scalable, reliable, and production‑ready solutions. Use C++ to implement and optimize models and systems, including deployment, performance tuning, and integration, ensuring low latency and high throughput. Stay up to date with advances in computer vision and multi‑modal AI, and apply new methods to improve model performance and product impact. Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and knowledge sharing to improve code quality and engineering best practices. Minimum Qualifications Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related field, with strong expertise in computer vision and machine learning. 1-3 years of experience in multi‑modal large model training, fine‑tuning, and optimization (e.g., CLIP, Flamingo, BLIP, or self‑developed multi‑modal models), with a deep understanding of multi‑modal fusion mechanisms. Strong foundation in computer vision, including object detection, image classification, feature matching, and image enhancement. Strong C++ development skills, with proficiency in STL, multi‑threading, memory management, and performance optimization; experience in production‑level implementation and deployment is required. Familiar with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and computer vision libraries (e.g., OpenCV, OpenMMLab). Strong problem‑solving ability, self‑driven, and passionate about technological innovation; ability to work independently and in a team. Preferred Qualifications Experience in edge device algorithm deployment, published papers in top computer vision conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV), or open‑source project contributions in related fields.
