Machine Learning Engineer

Overview

Machine Learning Engineer (Computer Vision)

at

Instrumental Inc.

We are looking for a customer-focused ML Engineer to help build and scale our end-to-end ML pipeline. You’ll balance research and productization in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. At Instrumental, ML engineers own the full lifecycle of machine learning projects : from shaping features alongside product to exploring cutting-edge research, building and refining datasets, running rapid experiments, deploying at scale, and monitoring live performance. You’ll work in a deeply collaborative environment where your ideas directly shape the product and deliver measurable value to world-class hardware teams.

If you’re looking for meaningful ownership, real-world impact, and the chance to work on high-leverage problems with a smart, mission-driven team—this is the place.

What You’ll Do

Own ML pipelines end-to-end—from prototyping to deployment to measuring customer impact

Focus relentlessly on delivering customer value

Collaborate across R&D to deliver full-scope solutions, not just ML components

Rapidly prototype and prioritize algorithms based on user needs

Build and scale ML systems using state-of-the-art techniques

Lead efforts to acquire and manage high-quality datasets

What You’ll Need To Be Successful

Experience in writing production code with a focus on maintainability and performance

Experience training deep learning models, including expertise in model selection, training, optimization, and deployment

You have startup DNA : a growth mindset, a bias toward action, and a drive to take ownership of challenging projects with minimal guidance

You’re resourceful—when you hit a wall, you find a way around it, learn what you need, and keep moving forward

Computer vision expertise (or a strong foundation in deep learning from other domains, such as NLP). If you don’t have direct computer vision experience, a willingness to apply your deep learning knowledge to this area is important

Nice to have : Experience with cloud infrastructure, such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and familiarity with scaling machine learning models in a cloud-based environment

We’re a growing team that works collaboratively, is supportive of each other, and is highly energized by the opportunity for a large impact. We actively work to promote an inclusive environment, valuing passion and the ability to learn. You’re encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn’t precisely match the job description.
