  • Collaborate with software engineers and DevOps teams to deploy computer vision models into production environments. You’ll use tools like Docker and Kubernetes to ensure that models are scalable, efficient, and integrated into real-world applications.
Experiment with Emerging Technologies:
  • Stay up to date with the latest advancements in computer vision, deep learning, and AI. You’ll explore cutting-edge technologies such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), 3D vision, augmented reality (AR), and edge AI to push the boundaries of innovation.
Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams:
  • Work closely with product managers, data engineers, and designers to integrate computer vision capabilities into products. You’ll ensure that the solutions you build align with business goals and deliver real-world impact.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Computer Vision Expertise:Strong knowledge of computer vision techniques, including image classification, object detection, image segmentation, and feature extraction. You’re experienced with libraries and frameworks like OpenCV, TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Keras.
  • Deep Learning Proficiency:Expertise in deep learning techniques, particularly in convolutional neural networks (CNNs), RNNs, and transfer learning. You have experience building and optimizing models using architectures such as ResNet, VGG, or YOLO.
  • Programming and Software Development:Proficiency in Python, C++, or a similar programming language, with experience writing production-level code. You can build, test, and deploy computer vision models efficiently.
  • Model Deployment and Optimization:Experience deploying machine learning models into production environments using cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization tools like Docker. You understand how to optimize models for real-time performance.
  • Data Handling and Preprocessing:Hands-on experience with data annotation, augmentation, and preprocessing. You know how to work with large datasets and prepare them for training deep learning models.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.Equivalent experience in computer vision or machine learning is highly valued.
  • Certifications or additional coursework in computer vision, deep learning, or AI are a plus.

Experience Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in computer vision engineering,with a track record of building and deploying computer vision models in real-world applications.
  • Proven experience with image and video analysis, and hands-on experience developing deep learning models for vision-related tasks.
  • Experience working with cloud-based computer vision services (AWS Rekognition, Google Vision API, Azure Computer Vision) is highly desirable.

Benefits

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
  • Life and Disability Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term disability coverage.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential counseling and support services for personal and professional challenges.
  • Tuition Reimbursement: Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development.
  • Community Engagement: Opportunities to participate in community service and volunteer activities.

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
