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.
