Job Description

A genuinely interesting opportunity has come up to join a rapidly scaling start-up working on advanced computer vision, machine learning and high-performance video systems.

n

They're looking for a Senior Data Scientist specialising in Computer Vision& Object-Tracking to join as a foundational hire. You'll take ownership of applied research and modelling while helping shape the technical direction and wider team as the capability grows over the next 12–18 months.

n

This isn't traditional Data Science. You'll solve complex, real-world video problems across detection, tracking, pose estimation, temporal modelling and movement analysis, with the freedom to challenge existing approaches and develop better methods where standard models aren't good enough.

n

What You'll Do

n

n
- Own applied Computer Vision research and modelling across a growing suite of products.
n
- Develop and evaluate models across object detection, multi-object tracking, ReID, pose estimation and video understanding.
n
- Develop 2D and 3D pose estimation approaches for human movement analysis.
n
- Explore temporal and trajectory-based approaches to understand actions and movement across video.
n
- Turn ambiguous real-world problems into measurable hypotheses, experiments and solutions.
n
- Own dataset design, annotation strategy and rigorous model evaluation.
n
- Identify failure modes in existing approaches and develop or adapt methods to improve performance.
n
- Prototype primarily in Python and PyTorch, working closely with Software Engineers to take successful research into production.
n
- Help establish the research practices and technical foundations for a growing Computer Vision capability.

What You'll Bring

n

n
- PhD in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, AI, Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics or a closely related quantitative field.
n
- A genuine scientific mindset – hypothesis-driven, experimental and evidence-led in your approach.
n
- Solid hands-on experience developing Computer Vision or video ML models using Python and PyTorch.
n
- Research depth across several areas such as detection, multi-object tracking, ReID, pose estimation, action recognition, temporal modelling or geometric Computer Vision.
n
- Strong experimental design, dataset design and model evaluation skills.
n
- Comfortable working with messy, real-world video and problems where there isn't an obvious off-the-shelf solution.
n
- Strong quantitative reasoning and the ability to clearly communicate research outcomes and technical trade-offs.
n

n

Highly regarded

n

n
- Multi-object tracking and person ReID.
n
- 3D pose estimation, multi-view geometry or 3D reconstruction.
n
- Temporal/sequence modelling and video transformers.
n
- Trajectory modelling, probabilistic or physics-informed approaches.
n
- Biomechanics or human movement experience.
n
- Camera geometry and calibration.
n
- Experience with large-scale annotation or dataset curation.
n
- Experience translating academic research into production applications.
