What You’ll Be Working On

  • Designing and training deep learning models end-to-end
  • Experimenting with GenAI architectures (VAEs, Diffusion Models, Transformers)
  • Building real-time tracking systems for devices
  • Working with 3D geometry, meshes, and tools like Blender
  • Supporting automation efforts to streamline creative production pipelines


What We’re Looking For

  • Solid experience with deep learning and 3D modelling
  • Strong Python skills
  • Proficiency in C++ (especially for low-level or runtime systems)
  • Familiarity with GenAI and recent ML research trends
  • Exposure to 3D environments, animation, or game engines
  • Comfort working in cross-disciplinary teams (engineering x creative)
  • A portfolio of personal or open-source projects (GitHub is a plus)


Nice to Have

  • Engineering background with a transition into ML/AI
  • Prior work in gaming, VFX, graphics, or interactive media
  • Understanding of facial capture, digital humans, and animation tech

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.
