Senior Machine Learning Engineer (Computer Vision / Vision-Language Models)
Remote (U.S. or Canada) | $200,000-$240,000 Base + Significant Equity

We are partnering exclusively with a mission-driven, venture-backed healthtech company that has raised more than $200M and is using AI to transform how care is delivered to older adults.

This is a rare opportunity to join a small, high-caliber engineering team building real-world multimodal AI systems that directly improve human lives. The company is combining computer vision, edge intelligence, and cloud-scale machine learning to automate complex workflows and generate actionable insights in healthcare environments.

What You'll Work On

  • Design and deploy production-grade Vision-Language Model (VLM) pipelines
  • Build multimodal systems that combine image, video, and text data
  • Develop labeling, evaluation, and monitoring frameworks
  • Optimize inference pipelines for performance, accuracy, and cost
  • Collaborate closely with embedded, data, and product teams
  • Help define the long-term AI roadmap and technical architecture

Ideal Background

  • 5+ years of applied machine learning experience
  • Deep expertise in Computer Vision and modern deep learning
  • Direct experience with VLMs, multimodal models, or adjacent CV + LLM systems
  • Strong Python and PyTorch skills
  • Proven record of deploying ML systems into production
  • Experience with edge devices, video, or spatiotemporal data is highly desirable
  • Healthcare or regulated industry experience is a plus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Work on cutting-edge multimodal AI with tangible real-world impact
  • Join a company with strong funding, rapid growth, and meaningful mission alignment
  • Exceptional technical challenges spanning CV, LLMs, edge systems, and cloud infrastructure
  • Significant ownership and influence over foundational AI architecture
  • Competitive compensation and substantial equity upside

This opportunity is best suited for true builders who have translated advanced ML research into robust production systems and are excited to solve consequential problems at scale.

If you have direct experience with VLM/Computer Vision and multimodal AI and are looking for a role where your work will matter every day, we would love to hear from you.
