Senior Computer Vision Engineer - Biotech Automation (Python)

Valerann is a rapidly growing AI mobility scale-up with offices in Israel, the UK, Spain, and the US.

We are a diverse and driven team that is making the road-based transport sector safer, greener, and more equitable through our unique AI and data analytics platform.

We work with governments and the world’s largest road operators to make our roads better. Our product already serves roads in Europe, the US, Latin America, and the Middle East and helps road traffic authorities to have a good understanding of real-time traffic conditions and risks.

We do that through data, a lot of data. Our algorithms constantly ingest and process very large sets of structured and unstructured data coming from a broad range of disparate data sources, including connected vehicles, cameras, and crowdsourcing platforms. Our know-how is in deep data fusion and analytics. Our passion is to empower our customers with the tools to use data to make our journeys safer and greener.

We have made tremendous progress to date, and we need your help to support our growth

We are looking for an experienced Senior Computer Vision Engineer.

You will be working within our Computer Vision Team to maintain computer vision backend services, tune existing algorithms for new deployments and develop new solutions to complex problems.

This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference in a company that delivers enormous social value at scale. Join us on our mission to make every journey on every road safer and more seamless.

Your main responsibility will be supporting existing computer vision solutions, with a secondary aim to support the development of new computer vision solutions.

This includes:

  • Supporting our clients and investigating issues, tuning parameters to improve the value that we provide to our clients, and the overall cost of our services.
  • Investigating false positives, recreating them in test cases and developing methods to overcome them, without compromising true positive rates.
  • Analyzing thousands of real-time video feeds, detecting and predicting traffic issues to help save lives, reduce congestion and decrease emissions.
  • Deploying algorithms to live production environments in the Cloud using automation tools to test, build and rollout new versions.
  • Being involved in the wider team: working on Python, supporting other team members with APIs, discussing/critiquing/planning architectures etc.

Requirements

.

  • Hands-on experience in developing/researching image and video processing algorithms using both traditional image processing techniques (e.g. homographies, image matching, FFTs, filters) and modern deep learning algorithms.
  • 4+ years of Python experience, using libraries such as OpenCV, Numpy, Sklearn, PyTorch.
  • Experience in developing production-ready, real-time, optimized, scalable, machine learning services in Cloud environments using technologies such as AWS, Kafka and Docker containers.
  • Proven experience with developing classical computer vision systems to solve real-world problems (e.g. people tracking, facial recognition, cell counting)
  • Ideally, proven experience in implementation of deep learning algorithms on real-world vision projects. (e.g. object detection, multiple object tracking, etc.)
  • Additional experience in areas such as 3D geometry, H264 video compression, YOLO and Cuda is advantageous.
  • Fluency in English with excellent communication skills, experience in working in Agile teams with multiple stakeholders.

You should:

  • Have a relevant academic background including theoretical and practical knowledge of image processing and deep learning.
  • Be a team player, willing and able to contribute to any area of a cloud system.
  • Enjoy fast-paced start-up environments working in small agile teams, as well as taking initiative.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

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.
