Help us build the future of real-time retail execution

At Neurolabs, we're helping the world's leading CPG brands unlock real-time visibility in retail. Our Image Recognition technology is powered by synthetic data and digital twins, giving customers scalable, accurate insights — fast. No manual audits. No delays. No retraining. Just immediate visibility into what's actually happening in-store.

We've built our platform to solve real field problems. From faster SKU onboarding to better promo execution, we work across teams to connect strategy with shelf reality. With easy integration and the fastest time to value in the category, we're not just digitising audits - we're powering smarter, data-backed execution for global CPGs.

We're looking for a Staff Computer Vision Engineer to join our team and play a key role in scaling our vision AI product into a robust, performant, production-grade system. You'll bring deep technical experience, scientific rigour and a product-aware mindset to the table. This is a role for someone who loves solving tough problems, staying hands-on and helping shape how a team works and wins together.

Why this role matters

In-store execution is broken - slow, manual, outdated. We're fixing that.

At the core of our platform is a Computer Vision engine powered by synthetic data, large vision models and smart pipelines. We're moving fast, solving hard problems and scaling globally. You'll be central to how we grow and evolve this function.

Your mission: turn complex vision problems into practical, scalable solutions.

 Our Values & How We Work

We're a tight-knit team who:

  • Move fast and learn continuously - We iterate quickly and hold a high bar for quality.
  • Focus on outcomes - We care about real-world results for our customers and we do this by owning the initiative, staying open and honest
  • Play to win - We're building something meaningful with our customers and we want to be the best at it.

What you'll do

Drive applied model development from idea to deployment

  • Lead the design, training, and optimisation of CV models across detection, recognition, segmentation and tracking tasks
  • Balance performance, latency, and reliability to ensure models work in dynamic retail environments and across varied shelf conditions
  • Advance our synthetic data generation pipeline - scaling diversity, improving generalisation and applying domain adaptation strategies that boost robustness

Own the evolution of our large vision model (LVM) efforts

  • Improve the performance, reliability, and scalability of our in-house LVM - shaping it into a best-in-class system
  • Help design and deploy a highly generalisable LVM tailored for retail, balancing size, speed and adaptability across real-world use cases

Stay Close To The Science And Ship What Works

  • Test new approaches rigorously, validate performance, and productionise what's effective
  • Use PyTorch (or similar frameworks) for fast, iterative experimentation
  • Contribute to model evaluation, benchmarking and continuous improvement

Work cross-functionally, without managing people

  • Collaborate with Product, Infrastructure, and Customer teams to deliver models that integrate seamlessly into field workflows
  • Align technical direction with business goals and guide thinking through technical leadership — no line management required

Champion practical engineering and good data practices

  • Ensure clean, reliable and well-managed data sits at the heart of all model development
  • Contribute to scalable MLOps and automation systems that keep deployment smooth and experimentation fast

Requirements

Experience & technical skills

  • PhD or equivalent experience in Computer Vision, Machine Learning or a related field
  • Proven track record developing and deploying large-scale CV models in production
  • Strong programming skills in Python, with hands-on experience in PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Deep understanding of modern CV architectures - particularly large vision models and Transformers
  • Experience with multimodal data (images, video, text) is highly desirable
  • Experience with MLOps tools and workflows

How You Work

  • You're hands-on and self-directed, with a strong sense of ownership
  • You think clearly, test quickly, and iterate based on evidence - not instinct
  • You care about code quality, model performance, and business value
  • You collaborate well across functions and share knowledge generously
  • You communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Benefits

  • Open salary structure - This role offers a competitive salary of up to £150,000 per year
  • Celebrate our victories together - We're on an ambitious path and when we succeed, it's a collective win. You'll be offered equity share options, allowing you to partake in the value you help build
  • Hybrid-first approach - We decide together what balance works best between home and our vibrant London office near King's Cross
  • A culture of inclusivity - We thrive when we're authentic with one another, fostering an environment filled with kindness, openness and trust where every voice matters and everyone feels like a vital part of our journey
  • Time off that suits you - Enjoy a generous 25 days of annual leave along with bank holidays to unwind and recharge
  • Company retreats - Each year, we take a step back to reflect and reconnect, enjoying some well-deserved social time together
  • Comprehensive medical insurance - You'll receive private medical coverage that prioritises both your physical and mental health, including dental, optical and travel insurance

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
