What's the role?As Data Scientist II you have 1-2 years of experience, specializing in Vision Foundation Modelsdevelops and scales large-scale visual, multimodal, or generative models (like ViT, SAM, DinoV3) using Python and PyTorch/TensorFlow. Responsibilities include pre-training, fine-tuning, and optimizing model architectures for perception and reasoning. Requires experience in self-supervised learning, computer vision, and deploying high-performance models. Your role includes:
- Model Development:Design, train, and scale vision foundation models across image and video modalities.
- Fine-tuning & Adaptation:Utilize transfer learning, fine-tuning, and adapter methods to adapt models to specific downstream tasks.
- Pipeline Engineering:Create efficient data pipelines and pre-training strategies for large-scale datasets.
- Optimization:Optimize model architecture, training efficiency, latency, and throughput.
- Research to Production:Implement novel algorithms from research papers to solve real-world computer vision challenges.
- Evaluation:Implement evaluation frameworks (e.g., using LLM-as-a-judge or traditional metrics) to measure model performance and quality.
Who are you?
Skills and Qualifications
- Technical Proficiencies:Advanced proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks like PyTorch.
- Vision Expertise:Strong understanding of Computer Vision techniques, Vision Transformers (ViT), and self-supervised learning.
- Model Experience:Hands-on experience with foundational model architectures (e.g., SAM, DinoV3).
- Data Handling:Experience handling large-scale, unstructured datasets.
- Education & Experience: Typically requires a Master's or above in Computer Science, AI, or related fields.
- Performance Optimization:Experience with CUDA for performance optimization.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with generative models or diffusion models.
- Knowledge of Multimodal Learning (image and text/video).
- Experience with edge AI deployment.
- Experience with database management and optimization, with a strong preference on PostgreSQL / PostGIS.
The expected base salary range for this position is $110,000 to $125,000per year. Actual compensation will be based on factors such as skills and experience. This position is also eligible for an annual performance bonus, which is subject to company and individual performance.
