Machine Learning Engineer (Computer Vision)

Location: Bristol (hybrid)

Type: Permanent (full-time)

Team: AI / Computer Vision

Visa: Unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

About the Company

A UK-based technology business building AI-led vision systems that turn image and video streams into automated, real-time insight. Our products are used in operational environments where speed, reliability, and accurate detection matter-helping teams monitor large areas and respond quickly when something changes.

The Role

We're looking for a Machine Learning / Computer Vision Engineer to help tackle challenging real-world problems using modern deep learning. You'll work closely with a multidisciplinary team to develop, productionise, and deploy computer vision models that run reliably across cloud and edge environments.

What You'll Be Doing

Build, test, and improve production-grade deep learning models for computer vision tasks (classification, detection, segmentation, tracking)

Optimise and deploy CV/ML pipelines to cloud and edge platforms

Design, curate, and manage image/video datasets for training and evaluation

Develop and maintain annotation workflows and tooling

Create synthetic data pipelines (including generative approaches) to augment real-world datasets

Stay current with emerging tools, methods, and best practices in CV/ML

What We're Looking For

Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics (or similar), or equivalent commercial experience

Proven experience delivering deep learning solutions for core CV tasks (classification / detection / segmentation / tracking)

Strong skills with PyTorch (or similar) and CV libraries such as OpenCV / scikit-image

Strong, production-ready Python engineering (version control, testing, code reviews)

Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving ability

Clear communicator who works well in a collaborative team

Nice to Have

Experience with real-world sensor data (e.g., RGB-D, thermal, radar)

Model optimisation/deployment tooling (ONNX, TensorRT)

Edge deployment experience (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson or other resource-constrained devices)

Familiarity with MLOps tooling (e.g., DVC, MLflow)

Relevant open-source contributions in computer vision

Interested?

What Is an AI Forward Deployed Engineer? The Fastest-Growing Job in AI for 2026

If you have been watching AI job boards over the past year, one title keeps surfacing again and again: the forward deployed engineer, or FDE. It has gone from a niche term known mainly to Palantir alumni to arguably the hottest role in the entire AI hiring market. Job postings for forward deployed engineers have exploded, salaries have climbed past levels most software engineers will ever see, and the biggest names in AI — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Salesforce, Databricks and Palantir — are all competing for the same small pool of talent. So what exactly is an AI forward deployed engineer, why has demand surged so dramatically, and how do you position yourself to land one of these roles? This guide breaks it all down for AI engineers, software engineers and data scientists looking at their next move.
