AI Engineer – Computer Vision & Image Processing

About the job

Experience: 4.00 + years Salary: INR 3500000.00 / year (based on experience) Expected Notice Period: 7 Days Shift: (GMT+05:30) Asia/Kolkata (IST) Opportunity Type: Remote Placement Type: Full Time Permanent position (Payroll and Compliance to be managed by: A US-based, venture-funded company transforming eCommerce visuals with AI-powered bulk photo editing) What do you need for this opportunity? Must have skills required: NA, and PyTorch., LLM APIs, NumPy, Opencv (cv2), PIL, Scalable APIs, Stable Diffusion A US-based, venture-funded company transforming eCommerce visuals with AI-powered bulk photo editing is Looking for: What You’ll Do • Build and own AI-backed features end to end, from ideation to production — including layout logic, smart cropping, visual enhancement, out-painting and GenAI workflows for background fills. • Design scalable APIs that wrap vision models like BiRefNet, YOLOv8, Grounding DINO, SAM, CLIP, ControlNet, etc., into batch and real-time pipelines. • Write production-grade Python code to manipulate and transform image data using NumPy, OpenCV (cv2), PIL, and PyTorch. • Handle pixel-level transformations — from custom masks and color space conversions to geometric warps and contour ops — with speed and precision. • Integrate your models into our production web app (AWS based Python/Java backend) and optimize them for latency, memory, and throughput. • Frame problems when specs are vague — you’ll help define what “good” looks like, and then build it. • Collaborate with product, UX, and other engineers without relying on formal handoffs — you own your domain. What You’ll Need • 2–3 years of hands-on experience with vision and image generation models such as YOLO, Grounding DINO, SAM, CLIP, Stable Diffusion, VITON, or TryOnGAN — including experience with inpainting and outpainting workflows using Stable Diffusion pipelines (e.g., Diffusers, InvokeAI, or custom-built solutions). • Strong hands-on knowledge of NumPy, OpenCV, PIL, PyTorch, and image visualization/debugging techniques. • 1–2 years of experience working with popular LLM APIs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and how to compose multi-modal pipelines. • Solid grasp of production model integration — model loading, GPU/CPU optimization, async inference, caching, and batch processing. • Experience solving real-world visual problems like object detection, segmentation, composition, or enhancement. • Ability to debug and diagnose visual output errors — e.g., weird segmentation artifacts, off-center crops, broken masks. • Deep understanding of image processing in Python: array slicing, color formats, augmentation, geometric transforms, contour detection, etc. • Experience building and deploying FastAPI services and containerizing them with Docker for AWS-based infra (ECS, EC2/GPU, Lambda). • Solid grasp of production model integration — model loading, GPU/CPU optimization, async inference, caching, and batch processing. • A customer-centric approach — you think about how your work affects end users and product experience, not just model performance. • A quest for high-quality deliverables — you write clean, tested code and debug edge cases until they’re truly fixed. • The ability to frame problems from scratch and work without strict handoffs — you build from a goal, not a ticket. Who You Are • You’ve built systems — not just prototypes. • You care about both ML results and the system’s behavior in production. • You’re comfortable taking a rough business goal and shaping the technical path to get there. • You’re energized by product-focused AI work — things that users feel and rely on. • You’ve worked in or want to work in a startup-grade environment: messy, fast, and impactful. What You Get • Full autonomy over your problem space. • A builder-first, no-handoff culture. • Remote-first flexibility (India preferred). • Base + Variable + meaningful equity. • A product shipping to some of the world’s most recognizable brands.
