THE OPPORTUNITY:  
The TechInsights Research & Development team is seeking a multidisciplinary engineer who thrives at the intersection of cloud operations, scientific software development, and applied AI research. This unique hybrid role splits time between DevOps/Scientific Python development and AI/ML research for big data and image processing. You'll bridge R&D innovations into scalable production environments, working on cutting-edge technology while maintaining production-grade engineering standards.
 
WHAT YOU’LL DO  
Scientific Python Engineering & Kimera Integration

• Translate research prototypes into production-grade modules for integration into Kimera, our cloud-based production processing platform
• Work closely with R&D team members to evaluate, refine, and deploy new algorithms
• Develop automation scripts and tooling to streamline scientific workflows
• Ensure code quality, performance, reliability, and documentation standards appropriate for a production environment

DevOps & Cloud Operations

• Maintain and optimize AWS cloud infrastructure (EC2, S3, Lambda, ECS/EKS)
• Manage CI/CD pipelines ensuring automated testing, validation, and deployment (Bitbucket Pipelines or similar)
• Operate and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters (EKS), including Helm chart management and cluster lifecycle tasks
• Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or CloudFormation
• Provide production support for Linux-based cloud environments
• Monitor system health using tools such as Datadog, CloudWatch, or Grafana
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure stable, scalable deployments of Kimera and related services

AI/ML & Image Processing Research

• Conduct applied research in AI/ML methods for big-data processing, computer vision, and image analytics
• Prototype new models, algorithms, and data pipelines using frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Design experiments, analyze results, and iterate on research hypotheses
• Evaluate state-of-the-art methods and determine feasibility for integration into production
• Present findings internally and contribute to technology roadmaps

 
WHAT YOU’LL BRING  

• A Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or related fields.
• A problem-solving, research-oriented mindset with the ability to move between exploratory and production contexts
• Strong Python skills, especially in scientific computing (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas) and software engineering best practices
• Experience with AI/ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and image processing libraries (OpenCV, scikit-image, etc.)
• Background in computational imaging, signal processing, or applied machine learning
• Experience integrating research algorithms into cloud-native production systems
• Ability to support users, diagnose issues, and collaborate cross-functionally
• Linux user-level skills

Considered an Asset:

• Linux system administration skills in cloud environments
• Experience with AWS cloud services (EC2, S3, Lambda, ECS/EKS)
• Kubernetes (EKS), Helm and cluster management experience
• Familiarity with big-data processing workflows and distributed systems
• Experience with system monitoring (Datadog, Grafana, CloudWatch)
• Experience maintaining CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket Pipelines or comparable tools)
• Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or CloudFormation)
