The day-to-day (Responsibilities)
  • You will support and develop tooling for the engineering team for various steps of the data preparation pipeline (collection, annotation, quality control, storage & management of mission-critical datasets).

Nice to have
  • PhD in computer science, engineering or related field.
  • Interest in computer vision applications.
  • Experience building data acquisition/annotation pipelines for AI algorithm development.
  • Interest in defence hardware or prior service in the armed forces.
What we offer
  • Focus on outcomes, not time-tracking

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
