At A Glance

Boost inc. is on a mission to redefine unattended retail. We are seeking a Computer Vision Engineer to join our team and help build cutting-edge solutions for our latest products, focused on consumer behaviour tracking and retail product identification. You will design and implement computer vision models that recognise, classify, and track products and behaviour, leveraging the power of edge computing in addition to cloud-based tools. Your work will directly impact how customers and retailers interact with products, improving accuracy, automation, and efficiency.

What You'll Do

  • Design, train, and optimise computer vision and deep learning models for product recognition, detection, and tracking.

  • Develop robust pipelines for image preprocessing, data augmentation, and annotation at scale.

  • Build and deploy models for real-time inference on edge devices as well as scalable cloud services.

  • Optimize models for latency, memory efficiency, and throughput in production environments.

  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (backend engineers, product managers, UX/UI) to integrate solutions into customer-facing applications.

  • Evaluate and benchmark models against datasets that capture the complexity of real-world retail scenarios (e.g., varying lighting, occlusion, packaging changes).

  • Stay current with advancements in computer vision research and explore how they can be leveraged and applied to our product identification challenges.

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in computer vision (or combination of computer vision and deep learning).

  • Strong proficiency with Python and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).

  • Demonstrated experience deploying models for edge inference (e.g., TensorRT, ONNX, quantization, pruning).

  • Ability to integrate with vendor model types & toolchains (eg: RKNN)

  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work with messy, real-world data.

  • Experience with AWS cloud services (preferred).

  • Knowledge of MLOps practices, including deployment, monitoring, and model lifecycle management (preferred).

  • Experience with camera sensors, color spaces, and image acquisition challenges (noise, lens distortion, exposure), as well as camera calibration and geometric transformations (preferred).

Why Join Us

  • Competitive compensation with private healthcare.

  • Global Impact: A chance to shape the future of unattended retail technology across the globe

  • Growth Opportunities: Fast-growing team, shape our engineering culture, mentor juniors and learn new technologies.

  • Collaborative Culture: Small, passionate teams, open to new ideas and tech experimentation.

  • Offices in Zurich, London, and 4 other countries. 

  • The usual: budget for personal development, benefits for your well-being, and some decent swag

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Machine Learning Skills in 2025/26

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most in-demand career paths in technology. From predicting customer behaviour in retail to detecting fraud in banking and enabling medical breakthroughs in healthcare, ML is transforming industries across the UK and beyond. But here’s the truth: employers don’t just want candidates who have read about machine learning in textbooks. They want evidence that you can actually build, train, and deploy models. That means practising with real tools, working with real datasets, and solving real problems. The good news is that you don’t need to pay for expensive software or courses to get started. A wide range of free, open-source tools and platforms allow you to learn machine learning skills hands-on. Whether you’re a beginner or preparing for advanced roles, you can practise everything from simple linear regression to deploying deep learning models — at no cost. In this guide, we’ll explore the best free tools and platforms to practise machine learning skills in 2025, and how to use them effectively to build a portfolio that UK employers will notice.

Top 10 Skills in Machine Learning According to LinkedIn & Indeed Job Postings

Machine learning (ML) is at the forefront of innovation, powering systems in finance, healthcare, retail, logistics, and beyond in the UK. As organisations leverage ML for predictive analytics, automation, and intelligent systems, demand for skilled practitioners continues to grow. So, which skills are most in demand? Drawing on insights from LinkedIn and Indeed, this article outlines the Top 10 machine learning skills UK employers are looking for in 2025. You'll learn how to demonstrate these capabilities through your CV, interviews, and real-world projects.

The Future of Machine Learning Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most powerful forces reshaping the modern world. From voice assistants and recommendation engines to fraud detection and medical imaging, it underpins countless applications. ML is no longer confined to research labs—it powers business models, public services, and consumer technologies across the globe. In the UK, demand for machine learning professionals has risen dramatically. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, and defence are embedding ML into their operations. Start-ups in Cambridge, London, and Edinburgh are pioneering innovations, while government-backed initiatives aim to position the UK as a global AI leader. Salaries for ML engineers and researchers are among the highest in the tech sector. Yet despite its current importance, machine learning is only at the beginning of its journey. Advances in generative AI, quantum computing, robotics, and ethical governance will reshape the profession. Many of the most vital machine learning jobs of the next two decades don’t exist today. This article explores why new careers will emerge, the roles likely to appear, how today’s roles will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.
