Job Overview

At Advex, were working on solving the hardest problem in all of computer vision data collection. In order to train a reliable AI model, you need access to the right training data. The inability to gather the right data has been the primary obstacle in global adoption of computer vision in mission critical industries like manufacturing and industrial automation.

Our technology improves model performance by 20-30% for any computer vision task while simultaneously reducing production costs by 10x. Our customers include Fortune 500 companies and some of the fastest-growing startups in the world. We invite you to join us at the ground level as we embark on rapid expansion of our product offerings and customer base.

About Us

Advex is a seed stage tech startup backed by Construct Capital, PearVC, and the founders of Dropbox and Gradient Ventures.

Our team comes with over a decade of industry and research experience from top organizations and labs like CMU, Berkeley AI Research Lab, Google Brain, Scale AI, and Qualcomm. Weve previously founded and sold companies and created products used over 30 million times. Our team has also published research papers and won research competitions at top conferences like ICLR, ICML, AAAI.

Role Description

As a Machine Learning Engineer at Advex, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the company's technical direction. As an MLE you are well versed with the ML lifecycle process, collect data, label data, train model and iterate multiple times before achieving desired performance. Your handson involvement will include working with our CTO to automate the entire ML lifecycle by scaling the Advex pipeline that automatically (1) identifies gaps in data distributions, (2) generates labeled synthetic samples, (3) and trains downstream models on enhanced synthetic datasets. You are also expected to engage directly with our customers. As we expand, you will contribute heavily to the architectural roadmap, laying the foundation for the Advex platform. Your technical leadership will be instrumental in supporting and growing our engineering and product teams.

Sneak peek of things were working on and what youll have the opportunity to spearhead:

Research

1. Understanding gaps in data distributions
2. Controllability of Diffusion Models
3. Evaluation of generative models

Engineering

1. Fullstack development
2. Large scale model training
3. Building infrastructure to run complex ML pipelines
4. Pruning and model quantization

We are seeking an individual who is strategic, capable of transforming research constraints and product specifications into an enterpriseready application. We value selfstators who arent afraid to dive into the details and iterate on prototypes in the early stages of development.

About You

We are seeking a candidate who embodies the following qualifications and characteristics:

• 3 to 5 years of industry experience in fullstack Deep Learning and Computer Vision
• Prior experience working at a startup
• Experiences in endtoend ML application development, including data engineering, model tuning, and model serving
• Technical expertise demonstrated through published papers or industry experience:
  • Representation learning SSL, VAE, Dino, SAM
  • Building and scaling ML Infrastructure - AWS, GCP, containerization
• Proven track record of rapidly delivering complex project within tight deadlines
• Ability to make critical decisions with little information
• Excel at identifying bottlenecks and gaps within research papers and swiftly translating them into code.

Our Values

• Extreme Ownership Own your piece to an unreasonable level if that piece succeeds or fails, for whatever reason, the buck stops with you.
• Fierce Velocity Rome was not built in a day, but they were laying bricks every hour.
• The Best Part is No Part Simplicity over complexity.
