Summary: The Computer Vision & ML Expert role involves evaluating and improving AI models that process visual data, with a focus on hands-on experience in computer vision and machine learning. This fully remote contract position is suitable for researchers, engineers, or advanced graduate students, allowing for flexible hours and a direct impact on AI systems. The expert will assess model outputs, identify biases, and provide feedback to enhance AI capabilities. Candidates should possess strong technical knowledge and experience in relevant frameworks and architectures.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Evaluate AI-generated outputs related to image recognition, object detection, segmentation, and visual reasoning tasks
  • Assess the quality, accuracy, and robustness of computer vision model predictions and outputs
  • Identify failure modes, edge cases, and biases in visual AI systems
  • Create, review, and refine training data annotations for computer vision pipelines
  • Provide expert-level feedback on model behavior, architecture decisions, and output quality
  • Write detailed technical evaluations and suggest concrete improvements
  • Work across diverse visual domains — from natural images and medical imaging to autonomous systems and document understanding
  • Complete task-based assignments independently on your own schedule

Key Skills:

  • Strong foundational knowledge of computer vision — object detection, image classification, semantic segmentation, pose estimation, or related areas
  • Hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX
  • Familiarity with common CV architectures (CNNs, Vision Transformers, diffusion models, etc.)
  • Comfortable reading and understanding ML research papers
  • Solid understanding of data preprocessing, augmentation, and annotation best practices for visual data
  • Detail-oriented and systematic in evaluating model outputs
  • Clear, concise written communicator who can explain technical concepts effectively
  • Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with a focus on computer vision or machine learning (nice to have)
  • Published research in top CV/ML venues (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML, etc.) (nice to have)
  • Experience with 3D vision, video understanding, generative models, or multimodal AI (nice to have)
  • Familiarity with MLOps tools, experiment tracking, and model evaluation pipelines (nice to have)
  • Background in specialized domains such as medical imaging, remote sensing, robotics, or autonomous driving (nice to have)
  • Experience with annotation platforms and data quality workflows at scale (nice to have)
  • Proficiency in Python and scientific computing libraries (NumPy, OpenCV, scikit-learn) (nice to have)
