At Protex AI, we're building Site Intelligence, an AI platform that connects cameras, enterprise systems and operational knowledge to give businesses a real-time understanding of what's happening across their operations. We're looking for an Engineering Manager for our Computer Vision Features team in a hands-on role where you will lead the team and still ship with it.
Tasks
- Lead, hire, coach and grow a multidisciplinary team of computer vision, video and edge engineers.
- Set the technical direction for computer vision at Protex.
- Ship with the team: design, write code and review code.
- Shape the work before it's built: scope it with product managers, then own delivery from idea to deployment.
- Lead with urgency when detection quality drops at a client site, from triage to root cause to fix.
- Make the team faster: improve development workflows, measure delivery, and make releases to edge devices safe and fast.
- Model our core values: urgency, excellence, agency and care.
Requirements
- 3+ years of people management within engineering
- 5+ years of software or ML engineering experience, including hands-on work on computer vision systems in production, and 2+ years leading or managing engineering teams.
- Hands-on experience with deep learning for computer vision: you've trained and deployed optimised CNN models (e.g. PyTorch, TensorRT, ONNX) and experimented with vision-language models.
- Strong Python skills, and experience building data, training or deployment pipelines on cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), with containers and infrastructure as code.
- Strong opinions on the direction of computer vision, and a track record of setting technical direction, leading architecture discussions and delivering complex technical projects across teams on time, from design to production.
- You're a good communicator with product sense: you connect model quality to client outcomes, write clear design docs, and turn strategic goals into concrete engineering plans.
- BSc in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
