Cutting edge financial technology scale-up | Computer Vision Engineer | Remote | £45-60K DOE + bonus

About the Company:

Our partner is a pioneering financial technology company that empowers organisations to leverage agent-based modelling, AI, and machine learning to make more informed decisions and drive growth. Their clients include global banks, regulators, and exchanges. Founded in 2016, the company has rapidly expanded since graduating from the Barclays TechStars programme in 2017 and Mastercard Start Path in 2018. Their team comprises first-class talent, including PhDs with extensive expertise in financial services and beyond.

About the Role:

Our client is now looking to expand their team and take on a talented Mid-level Engineer with expertise in computer vision. As an Engineer, you will play a key role in developing and applying advanced computer vision techniques to the company's cutting-edge simulation platform. Your main responsibilities would include enhancing their simulation models by integrating computer vision algorithms to improve data collection, object recognition, and analysis in a dynamic, simulated environment as well as designing, testing, and optimizing algorithms related to image processing, object detection, tracking, and analysis within simulation scenarios.

Responsibilities:

• Integrate computer vision algorithms into simulation models to enhance data collection and analysis.
• Develop and optimize image processing algorithms for object detection, tracking, and recognition within simulations.
• Collaborate with AI/ML teams to apply computer vision for intelligent system behavior and predictive analytics.
• Innovate new applications for computer vision in simulations, such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, or smart cities.
• Enhance simulation software tools to support advanced visual data processing and improve user experience.
• Provide technical support for integrating visual data from cameras or sensors into the simulation environment.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 2+ years experience in computer vision, including image processing, object detection, tracking, and pattern recognition.
• Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, C++, or Java, with familiarity in computer vision libraries like OpenCV, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
• Experience with machine learning algorithms and their application in computer vision tasks.
• Familiarity with simulation technologies or agent-based modelling would be advantageous.
• Experience working with large datasets and optimizing algorithms for real-time processing.
• Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and a passion for working on innovative, cutting-edge technologies.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a cross-functional team environment.

Compensation and Benefits:

• Competitive salary (£45-60K DOE + bonus).
• Remote working arrangement.
• Opportunities to take on leadership roles and make an impact in a fast-growing start-up.
