Full-time

We're seeking a Computer Vision AI Engineer with deep experience in transformers, generative models, and vision-language models (VLMs) to push City Detect's products beyond traditional object detection. You'll fine-tune, deploy, and maintain multi-modal models that combine visual and language understanding to deliver intelligent, scalable solutions across heterogeneous real-world environments.

What You'll Do

  • Fine-tune and deploy vision-language models (VLMs) and large language models for production use cases
  • Design and maintain end-to-end pipelines for multi-modal model training, evaluation, and inference in Python
  • Develop prompt engineering strategies, RAG architectures, and other techniques to maximize model performance
  • Evaluate model outputs systematically and build feedback loops for continuous improvement
  • Quantize large transformer models to improve model efficiency
  • Stay current with rapid advances in transformer architectures, fine-tuning methods, and multi-modal research

Requirements

  • 3+ years of professional experience working with transformer-based architectures
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience fine-tuning and deploying multi-modal models (VLMs)
  • 2+ years of proven computer vision experience, with a strong preference for object detection
  • Strong experience with LLMs — fine-tuning, inference optimization, and production deployment
  • Proficiency in Python for model development, training, and deployment (2+ years)
  • Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Solid understanding of attention mechanisms, tokenization, transfer learning, and generative model fundamentals
  • Proven experience taking models from experimentation through production-ready deployment

Nice to Have

  • SQL proficiency for querying detection results, labeling metrics, or model performance data
  • Strong preference: experience with roadside or infrastructure object detection (signs, signals, debris, pavement markings)
  • Background in GovTech, public sector, or smart city projects
  • Experience in automated driving, ADAS, or autonomous vehicle perception systems
  • Familiarity with model-assisted labeling, active learning, or human-in-the-loop workflows
  • Experience with edge deployment or model optimization (TensorRT, ONNX, quantization)

Compensation

The base pay range for this role is $100,000 – $120,000 per year.
