Senior Machine Learning Software Engineer

Metropolis is seeking a Senior Machine Learning Software Engineer to accelerate the development of our proprietary computer vision and machine learning software that powers our mobility products.  As part of the Metropolis Machine Learning Team, you will be responsible for the development, deployment, and ongoing optimization of edge-deployed software. These systems are foundational to the Metropolis platform and have correspondingly large potential impacts on Metropolis and its customers.  You will find this to be a challenging opportunity filled with unique technical and operational considerations while being able to learn from and leverage our existing Computer Vision based development and operational ecosystem. 

The right candidate will possess a strong background in C++ and OpenCV, experience with computer vision and ML on edge / embedded systems, and demonstrated experience taking complex software systems from concept to production.  You can expect to be working on all stages of the software development pipeline – from problem analysis and design to prototyping and deployment.  You should be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial setting, working collaboratively in a fast-paced environment with multiple stakeholders.  You won’t be afraid to break new technological ground at Metropolis and are more than willing to roll up your sleeves, dig in and get the job done.
