Oversee development across detection and recognition tasks, ensuring low-latency, high-accuracy performance under varied shelf conditions. Expand and refine our synthetic data generation strategies, enhancing generalisation through domain adaptation and robust pre-training. Collaborate closely with Product, Infrastructure, and Customer teams to ensure seamless field deployment. Grow and mentor a team focused on scalable architectures and automation. Drive the design of a highly generalisable large vision model optimised for dynamic retail environments. Ideal Profile Proven experience shipping ML models into production, preferably on mobile or edge platforms. Hands-on background with synthetic data generation and large vision models (or strong interest in these areas). Strong bias for practical, impact-driven development over purely academic results. Ability to break down ambitious goals into executable technical strategies, leading teams with a focus on speed, collaboration, and reliability. Nice-to-have Experience Leading high-performing engineering teams. Background in CPG, retail technology, or real-world applied computer vision.
