Lead Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a Lead Engineer with strong expertise in Computer Vision and working knowledge of Generative AI. This role requires a hands-on leader who can take ownership of delivering end-to-end AI solutions while guiding a team of 8–10 engineers. The right candidate will balance technical depth, solution delivery, and people management.

Key Responsibilities:

End-to-End AI Delivery: Drive the entire lifecycle of AI solutions – requirement analysis, data preparation, model development, optimization, deployment, and monitoring in production environments.

Computer Vision Solutions:

• Develop models for object detection, recognition, tracking, OCR, and video analytics.
• Optimize models for real-time performance (GPU/edge devices such as NVIDIA Jetson).
• Ensure robustness in challenging conditions (e.g., occlusion, lighting, class imbalance).

Generative AI Applications:

• Integrate LLMs and multimodal AI for use cases like video summarization, natural language queries, automated insights, and incident reporting.
• Build practical workflows combining CV and GenAI (e.g., retrieval-augmented search across video data).

Technical Leadership:

• Provide architectural guidance for AI pipelines (data ingestion → model inference → post-processing → serving).
• Establish coding standards, review best practices, and mentor junior engineers.
• Drive MLOps practices (CI/CD, model monitoring, drift detection, retraining strategies).

Team Management:

• Lead and mentor a team of 8–10 engineers, fostering growth and accountability.
• Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to translate business problems into measurable AI solutions.
• Ensure timely delivery with high technical quality.

Innovation & Quality:

• Stay updated with emerging tools in CV and GenAI, evaluate applicability, and introduce best practices.
• Focus on scalability, cost optimization, and practical deployment challenges.

Required Qualifications:

-Education: B.E./B.Tech/MCA in Computer Science, IT, or related field.

-Experience: 5–10 years in AI/ML with preferably 2 years in a team lead role.

-Technical Expertise:

• Computer Vision: Proficiency in frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and OpenCV. Experience with object detection (YOLO, Faster R-CNN), segmentation, OCR, or tracking algorithms.
• Generative AI: Exposure to LLM-based solutions (LangChain, RAG pipelines, or similar frameworks). Ability to integrate GenAI into CV workflows.
• Deployment & MLOps: Hands-on with APIs (FastAPI/Flask), containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), model registries, and monitoring tools.
• Performance Optimization: Familiarity with GPU acceleration (CUDA, TensorRT, ONNX Runtime) and scaling inference for production workloads.
• Programming: Strong Python expertise; exposure to C++/CUDA is a plus.

-Leadership Skills:

• Proven record of leading 6–10 member engineering teams.
• Ability to balance technical depth with delivery timelines.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills.

Why Join Us?

• Opportunity to lead impactful AI projects combining Computer Vision and Generative AI.
• Work with a talented engineering team in a high-growth environment.
• Exposure to cutting-edge technology while solving real-world problems at scale.
