Summary: Seeking a Forward Deployed ML Engineer to own real-time vision pipelines end-to-end, blending strong ML/CV ability with comfort deploying systems in demanding environments. Highlights: 1. Ship models into production and debug pipelines at client sites 2. Build new ML features across classical ML, computer vision, and LLMs 3. Solve real-world problems in challenging operational environments Our client is building vision agents for large venues such as hotels and casinos— powering real\-time video analytics and intelligent surveillance across hundreds of camera streams. Our systems run on\-prem in some of the largest resorts in Las Vegas, and many more in the pipeline. They’re a highly technical team shipping deep tech into one of the most operationally demanding and dynamic environments. **The Role** We’re looking for a **Forward Deployed ML Engineer** who blends strong technical ML/CV ability with comfort deploying systems in the field.
