Computer Vision Engineer - MLOps
Computer Vision Engineer - MLOps Location: Remote - (Must be EU based) Salary: Base salary equity We are hiring a Computer Vision Engineer to join a robotics company building intelligent, flexible robots for real manufacturing environments. This role is focused on production systems. You will be working on perception pipelines that run 24/7 on deployed robotic cells. The robots follow a modular architecture where new capabilities are continuously added, such as object recognition, grasp point estimation, anomaly detection, and task specific behaviours. As the system scales, the ML and MLOps foundations become critical. This role exists to own and extend those foundations. What you will be doingDesign, build, and deploy 2D and 3D computer vision systems used in live production environments. This includes image classification, object detection, semantic and instance segmentation, metric learning, and smart filtering.Take models end to end, from data and training through to deployment, optimisation, and monitoring.Contribute directly to an in house MLOps platform that supports data ingestion, experiment tracking, model versioning, deployment, and observability across multiple robotic capabilities.Work closely with robotics and hardware focused teams and help ensure models run efficiently and reliably on edge and production hardware. Over time, this includes model conversion and optimisation using tools such as ONNX and TensorRT. What we are looking for This is a production engineering role. We are looking for someone who has built ML systems before.Non-negotiable experience:Hands-on experience working with visual data in production systems (2D and/or 3D computer vision).Proven production ML experience: you have taken models from training through deployment and supported them in live environments.Strong Linux fundamentals, including working over SSH and operating production infrastructure.You have built MLOps systems, not just used them. This includes ownership of data pipelines, experiment tracking, model versioning, deployment, and monitoring.Solid understanding of how models actually work under the hood. You are comfortable reasoning about backpropagation, gradients, network architectures, and debugging model behaviour when things go wrong.Nice to have:Experience with robotics, autonomous systems, or other edge-deployed ML.Synthetic data generation and the ability to design efficient data collection strategies.Model conversion and optimisation workflows using ONNX and/or TensorRT.Experience with ROS, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms.Why apply?This role offers a rare combination of real-world impact and deep technical ownership. You are not optimising isolated models or working on disconnected experiments. You are helping define the perception and MLOps foundations for intelligent robotic systems that are already operating in production and will continue to scale over time. Engineers work in pods with clear ownership and the opportunity to grow into leading entire problem areas. Progression and compensation are tied to impact rather than tenure. The environment is fast-moving and flexible, with intense periods of work when needed, and a strong emphasis on transparency and alignment. This is a role for someone who wants to see their work move quickly from code to real machines on real factory floors.

Lead AI Engineer
Lead AI Engineer Fully Remote - Europe I am working with a European health tech scale up that is building production grade AI systems used by insurers, governments, hospitals, and pharma groups to support complex drug pricing and reimbursement decisions.They are hiring a Lead AI Engineer to own the AI architecture end to end and drive how LLM based systems are designed, evaluated, and shipped into production.The role is hands on and strategic. You would lead AI initiatives across RAG pipelines, agent workflows, and tool orchestration, while mentoring a small engineering team and working closely with product and platform leads. A big focus is on building systems that are observable, cost aware, and reliable, not demos.The environment suits someone who has spent time taking LLM systems from concept to real usage, has strong Python and backend experience, and understands tradeoffs around latency, throughput, and evaluation. Experience with LangChain or LangGraph, FastAPI style services, cloud infrastructure, and MLOps practices is important.The product domain sits at the intersection of healthcare, pricing, and access to medicines, with real world impact and complex constraints. The team is senior, international, and remote first across Europe.If this sounds aligned with the kind of problems you enjoy working on, feel free to share your updated resume/cv!

AI Engineer – Agent-Driven Development (Claude Code) Berlin (Hybrid, 3 days onsite) €120,000 base bonus We’re hiring an Applied AI Engineer to join a fast-growing AI consultancy in Berlin that focuses on shipping real production AI systems, not long advisory cycles or slide decks. Projects are short and intense, typically capped at three months, moving quickly from problem definition to prototype to production deployment inside real client environments. The setup is technical, fast, and built for engineers who like ownership and momentum. This role is built around Claude Code and agent-driven development. It is not a traditional AI or software engineering role. The core of the job is designing outcomes, writing specs and evals, orchestrating agents, and shipping systems faster than classical teams can. What you’ll be doingUsing Claude Code as your primary development interface, coordinating multiple agents in parallelDesigning specs, evals, and feedback loops rather than hand-coding implementationsTurning fast prototypes into enterprise-grade AI applications deployed to cloud environmentsIntegrating AI systems into real client platforms and production infrastructureWorking closely with senior technical leadership to define how agent-driven development should work in practiceShipping real systems for real organisations across industry, public sector, and NGOsWhy this is a good place to workStrong bias toward building and shipping real systemsEngineers are trusted to make decisions rather than follow rigid playbooksHigh technical bar with a pragmatic, low-ego teamExposure to a wide range of real-world problems rather than a single productThis role is a strong fit if youActively use Claude Code and have strong opinions on how to work with it effectivelySee reading every line of code as a bottleneck, not a virtueHave built evals and let agents run for extended periods to reach better outcomesHave converted APIs into MCP servers or understand why you wouldAre comfortable deciding when Claude Code beats alternatives like CodexPrefer speed, ambiguity, and responsibility over processThis role is not a fit if youWant to personally write most of the codeAre looking for a traditional AI or ML engineering roleNeed clearly defined tasks and guardrails before startingAre uncomfortable moving fast in uncertaintyWhat we’re looking for3 years building and shipping production software systemsStrong Python foundation and broad software engineering judgementExperience deploying and operating ML-backed systems in productionExperience with at least one major cloud platform, ideally AzureComfort shaping solutions where the problem is not fully specifiedGerman language ability at B2 level or higherWhat’s on offerUp to €120,000 base salary plus bonusHybrid setup with 3 days per week in BerlinA genuinely non-traditional engineering role centred on Claude CodeHigh autonomy and direct influence on how the team builds softwareIf you already work this way and feel most roles haven’t caught up yet, this one will make immediate sense.
