Why This Role Is Unique
As a Remote Data Scientist on the Spatial Intelligence Team, you will be at the heart of hirevault’s next generation of AR/VR and computer vision technologies. This is not a generic data entry position; you will design, develop, and operationalize large‑scale machine learning pipelines that power real‑time perception, scene understanding, and user interaction across a range of devices—from smartphones equipped with LIDAR sensors to next‑generation head‑mounted displays. The role offers a rare blend of research depth, production‑grade engineering, and cross‑functional collaboration, all while working from the comfort of your own home.
Key Responsibilities
- End‑to‑End Machine Learning Development: Design, implement, and maintain scalable ML models for image and video analysis, including object detection, segmentation, depth estimation, and pose tracking.
- Data Pipeline Engineering: Build robust data ingestion, preprocessing, and feature‑extraction pipelines that handle terabytes of multimodal data (visual, depth, inertial, and metadata).
- Model Evaluation & Optimization: Conduct rigorous quantitative assessments, perform hyper‑parameter tuning, and apply advanced techniques such as knowledge distillation and model pruning to meet latency and accuracy targets.
- Cross‑Team Collaboration: Partner closely with Computer Vision, AR/VR, Cloud Infrastructure, and Product Management teams to translate business requirements into technical specifications.
- Insight Communication: Translate complex analytical results into clear, compelling visualizations and executive‑level presentations for stakeholders across the organization.
- Research Integration: Stay abreast of state‑of‑the‑art research in deep learning, computer vision, and sensor fusion, and integrate promising techniques into production pipelines.
- Quality Assurance & Monitoring: Implement automated testing, continuous integration, and monitoring frameworks to ensure model reliability and data integrity in production environments.
- Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing: Guide junior engineers and data scientists, fostering a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence.
Essential Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field (Master’s or Ph.D. preferred).
- 3+ years of professional experience developing and deploying machine learning models at scale, preferably in computer vision or sensor‑fusion domains.
- Proficiency in Python and deep‑learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or JAX.
- Hands‑on experience with large‑scale data processing tools (e.g., Apache Spark, Hadoop, Dask) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
- Strong foundation in linear algebra, probability, statistics, and optimization techniques.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently in a remote setting while maintaining high levels of productivity and communication.
Preferred Qualifications & Nice‑to‑Have Skills
- Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) with research publications in top‑tier conferences (CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICML).
- Experience with AR/VR pipelines, point‑cloud processing, and LIDAR data.
- Familiarity with on‑device inference frameworks such as Core ML, TensorFlow Lite, or ONNX Runtime.
- Knowledge of software engineering best practices, including version control (Git), code reviews, and automated testing.
- Strong storytelling ability—capable of turning technical findings into business‑impact narratives for non‑technical audiences.
- Prior involvement in cross‑functional product development cycles, from concept through launch.
Core Skills & Competencies
- Analytical Rigor: Ability to dissect complex problems, formulate hypotheses, and validate them with data‑driven experiments.
- Technical Agility: Quick learner who can adapt to new tools, languages, and frameworks as the technology landscape evolves.
- Collaboration: Excellent interpersonal skills, comfortable working with diverse teams spread across multiple time zones.
- Communication: Clear, concise, and persuasive written and verbal communication, especially when presenting technical concepts to senior leadership.
- Innovation Mindset: Passion for exploring novel algorithms, pushing performance boundaries, and challenging the status quo.
- Organizational Discipline: Strong attention to detail, ability to manage multiple priorities, and a commitment to delivering high‑quality results on schedule.
