Job Description

V7 is an data platform to automate any visual task, awarded by Forbes as one of the top 25 machine learning startups of 2021. We are backed by the field of AI's greatest leaders, including the minds behind Elixir, Keras, transformers, and the ML leadership of Deepmind, OpenAI, Google, and Amazon.

We manage the training data and models of hundreds of AI companies and enterprises, spanning tens of thousands of datasets and tens of billions of training data labels. What sets us apart is our team's obsession with pushing our product to where AI will be three years from today.

Here's a bit more on our culture: https://www.v7labs.com/working-at-v7

What you're expected to build with us:

  • General purpose models
  • Instance and semantic segmentation (centroid approaches, high-fidelity semantic segmentation for labelling)
  • Multi-task models (eg. Taskonomy and related papers)
  • Auto-ML in vision
  • Ultra-large model backbones (eg. MOCO and related papers)

We're based on PyTorch, our BE is in Elixir (erlang), and FE is Vue.js. We make GPU machines available both at our office or in the cloud. We are regular CVPR/NeurIPS/ECCV attendees and in normal times attend as a team.

Here are a few things your counterpart(s) worked on in the past 3 months:

  • Auto-Annotate: Automated image segmentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvihDSAY4TQ&feature=emb_title
  • Working on foundation models for the automated labeling of any object.
  • An inference and training orchestration engine to run any model request in real-time across a library of computer vision models
  • Several implementations of instance-segmentation architectures like Mask-Rcnn, CenterMask, and object detection architectures like VoVnet
  • Configuration parameters to enable the training of models across various dataset sizes, image sizes, and relative annotation sizes and amounts
  • The development of deep image retrieval systems to automatically rank datasets by content-based parameters without the need of prior training

Requirements

  • Experience in deep learning, from understanding the underlying math, to the ability to illustrate landmark papers within the vision domain (given enough prep time)
  • Evidence of individual contribution to challenging DL/ML projects
  • A CV that demonstrates an early interest in computer science
  • A curious, scientific mind
  • Fluent in English

Benefits

  • Unlimited vacation, just tell us when you need time off
  • Stock options
  • Work from anywhere
  • 4-day company retreats in stunning locations . This year we're heading to Marbella, Spain.
  • New Apple hardware
  • Paid tickets, accommodation, and travel to relevant conferences, nationally or internationally (NeurIPS, ICCV, CVPR, ...) to expand your network & knowledge during normal times
  • Central London office with standing desks and 4K monitors
  • Unlimited high-quality coffee, tea, snacks, and other comforts every day

The FlexScore® is the result of a rigorous 2-step verification of a company’s flexibility

First we assess the flexibility options V7 provides and then we anonymously survey a statistically significant proportion of their employees to make sure V7 is as flexible as they say they are. Our assessment is based on the six key elements of flexibility: location, hours, autonomy, benefits, role modelling and work-life balance.

We ask the hard questions so you don’t have to.
