Lead AI Engineer

As an Lead AI at HyperVerge Inc., you will be responsible to design, architect, develop, maintain and fully own one or more AI products. You will be working on using cutting-edge deep learning techniques to solve real-world problems that involve extracting intelligence from images and videos. Examples of such problems include Information extraction from documents, Forgery Detection, Liveness and Authenticity verification, Change detection and Infrastructure Mapping from Satellite Imagery, etc. You will be working end-to-end on every aspect of the Machine Learning solution, right from problem understanding and modelling to optimising for accuracy and performance.

OUTCOMES EXPECTED:

Problem Understanding:

• Interfacing with the customer, business team members and other relevant people for thorough understanding of the problem and use case, detailed specification of the requirement, understanding of the success criterion of the project, demonstration of the solution and clarification of queries at appropriate times during the lifecycle of the projects

Development:

• Own, Design, architect and develop high-quality Deep Learning models and algorithms for 1 or more products in NLP and Computer Vision
• Ensuring that best practices are followed in solving AI problems including thorough problem analysis, prior research understanding, persistent experimentation and documentation, rapid prototyping and extensive testing.
• Building highly optimized AI training, validation, and data collection pipelines that work at a scale of 100s of millions of training examples.
• Devising benchmark datasets and protocols for thorough performance evaluation of the solution against real-world test cases. Benchmarking against competing solutions, prior research, and customer acceptance criteria wherever applicable.
• Working with the engineering team to productize the solutions and come up with effective ways of deploying deep learning models.
• Handling challenges w.r.t data requirements such as ideating the best ways of sourcing data, creating new tools for data annotation, etc. to effectively solve the AI problems.
