Core Responsibilities
- System Architecture: Design and implement scalable, high-performance infrastructures for real-time object detection and tracking using frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Intelligent Triaging: Develop automated triage systems that prioritize and categorize incoming sensor or project data, ensuring critical events are escalated instantly.
- Collection Coordination: Architect multi-agent or agentic workflows to synchronize data collection efforts across various projects, optimizing resource allocation.
- Technical Mentorship: Lead a high-performing team of engineers, conducting code reviews and setting engineering standards for MLOps and production pipelines.
- Strategic Integration: Collaborate with project managers to translate complex client requirements into actionable AI/ML roadmaps.
Qualifications & Skills
- Education: Bachelor’s or above in Computer Science, AI, or a related quantitative field.
- Experience: 7+ years of professional experience in machine learning, with at least 3 years in a leadership or "tech lead" capacity.
- Computer Vision Expertise: Proven track record in developing computer vision models for object tracking (e.g., CNNs, Transformers) and real-time video analytics.
- Advanced Programming: Expert-level proficiency in Python and familiarity with backend deployment tools (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Data Management: Experience overseeing the full data lifecycle, from acquisition and cleaning to high-fidelity labeling for specialized collections.
- Communication: Ability to articulate complex AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with agentic AI frameworks and best practice for multiple separate or stacked models
- Experience managing AI/ML models within development and production environments to include model versioning, source code management, and deployment architecture

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene
If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
