Experience: 4+ Years

About the Role:

Soothsayer is seeking a Data Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer with hands-on experience in Computer Vision to join our analytics team. You will work on developing and improving AI models for visual inspection and image-based analysis, supporting real-world industrial use cases.

This role is focused on implementation, experimentation, and continuous improvement of models under guidance from senior team members.

Job Responsibilities

- Develop and train computer vision models for tasks such as image classification, object detection, and segmentation.
- Work with image datasets, including data cleaning, annotation support, preprocessing, and augmentation.
- Apply deep learning frameworks to build and improve model performance.
- Implement and test approaches for anomaly detection, including unsupervised defect localization using PatchCore, and work with modern architectures such as Segment Anything (SAM) and Swin Transformers.
- Apply standard machine learning techniques such as Regression, Gradient Boosting, and Time-Series methods to integrate visual data with structured metadata for business insights.
- Evaluate model performance using metrics such as mAP, precision, recall, and F1-score, and follow established validation approaches to ensure model reliability.
- Assist in integrating models into existing pipelines and support deployment efforts.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to communicate results to technical stakeholders and clients.
