• Strong programming skills in Python and proficiency with ML frameworks (e., Tensorflow, Pytorch, JAX) - create code that is understandable, simple, clean, and easily shared with others.

• Experience in deploying Vision models on edge devices, optimizing for resource constraints.

• Knack for staying up to date with the latest research and trying out unconventional, out-of-the-box ideas.

• Passion for problem-solving and creative thinking, with the ability to break down complex and abstract problems into actionable items.

• Self-motivated to build, with an ability to thrive with minimal oversight and process.

Bonus Points:

• Experienced with 3D computer vision, video processing, and text-to-video, image-to-video generation.

• Knowledge of the Rust programming language for implementing the inference pipelines.

• Experienced working with highly skewed and imbalanced data.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
