Senior AI/ML Engineer

Senior AI/ML Engineer

Role Summary

We’re looking for a Senior AI/ML Engineer with strong experience in computer vision and practical machine-learning engineering. You’ll help design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems in a fast-moving startup environment, working closely with a small, collaborative engineering team.

You won’t be working alone — but you will be expected to take ownership of your domain, reason deeply about the math and statistics behind models, and drive solutions from prototype to production.


What You’ll Do

Computer Vision & ML Development

  • Build and refine computer-vision models using tools like Roboflow, Hugging Face, PyTorch, and TensorFlow.
  • Fine-tune pretrained transformer and CNN-based architectures for detection, segmentation, OCR, or classification tasks.
  • Conduct experiments, validate assumptions, define metrics, and use statistical reasoning to understand model strengths and weaknesses.
  • Design repeatable training/evaluation pipelines and implement dataset augmentation strategies.

Production Engineering

  • Deploy models as reliable services (APIs, workers, inference endpoints).
  • Implement monitoring for performance, drift, latency, and reliability.
  • Integrate models with backend systems and product features in close coordination with the engineering team.
  • Automate dataset updates, retraining workflows, and experiment tracking.

Data & Analysis

  • Own data quality and data shaping processes.
  • Perform exploratory data analysis, identify sources of bias or noise, and propose solutions.
  • Work across structured, unstructured, and image-based data.

Teamwork & Collaboration

  • Work closely with other engineers to design system architectures and integrate AI components.
  • Share knowledge, mentor teammates, and help build a strong ML engineering culture.
  • Communicate tradeoffs, model behaviour, and risks clearly and openly.
  • Collaborate on rapid prototypes, user-facing features, and long-term infrastructure.

What You Bring

  • Strong hands-on experience building and deploying machine-learning systems in production.
  • Deep understanding of ML fundamentals and the math behind them: probability, optimization, model evaluation, and generalization.
  • Practical computer-vision experience (transformers, YOLO-like architectures, segmentation models, embeddings, etc.).
  • Proficiency with Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and modern CV/ML tooling (Roboflow, Hugging Face, W&B, vector databases, etc.).
  • Comfort working in a startup environment — moving quickly, iterating, balancing experimentation with shipping.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team.

Soft Skills

  • Strong communication and ability to translate complex ideas into practical decisions.
  • Ownership mindset with a collaborative, low-ego approach.
  • Curiosity, rigor, and a willingness to challenge assumptions.
  • Pragmatism: prioritizing solutions that work over solutions that are theoretically perfect.

Senior Full Stack Developer

Senior Full Stack Engineer

Role Summary

We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 5+ years of professional experience and a deep, foundational understanding of JavaScript — the kind of understanding that goes beyond framework knowledge. You’ll work across the entire stack in a fast-moving environment, contributing to both product features and the underlying systems that support them.

Our product is built with Svelte 5 / SvelteKit, Supabase/PostgreSQL, and Node.js, and our AI/ML processing pipelines rely heavily on vanilla JavaScript. Experience with Svelte isn’t required, but the ability to understand new paradigms quickly is essential.

Experience with Canvas, WebGL, or three.js is a highly valued advantage — strong enough to meaningfully influence the selection process.


What You’ll Do

Full Stack Development

  • Build high-performance interfaces using Svelte 5 / SvelteKit.
  • Design and develop backend APIs and services in Node.js.
  • Work with Supabase/PostgreSQL to discuss, collaborate on, and reason about proper schema design, migrations, queries, and long-term data modelling.
  • Help shape our application architecture together with the rest of the team.

JavaScript Core Engineering

  • Contribute to complex AI/ML data pipelines written in vanilla JavaScript, where a thorough grasp of the language is critical.
  • Write predictable, maintainable, and performant code by understanding the runtime — async behaviour, event loop, memory use, and architectural patterns.
  • Debug problems at the language and systems level, not only within UI components.

Graphics & Interactive Work (Strong Advantage)

  • Build and refine Canvas-based visualizations or interactive components.
  • Experience with three.js, WebGL, or related graphics libraries is a significant plus, and will weigh strongly in the evaluation process.
  • Understand rendering pipelines and how to deliver smooth, performant visuals.

Collaboration

  • Work closely with ML engineers, sports analysts, and product designers.
  • Participate in architectural discussions and code reviews.
  • Help maintain a culture of thoughtful, high-quality engineering.

What You Bring

Required

  • 5+ years of professional full-stack or JavaScript engineering experience.
  • Deep understanding of JavaScript fundamentals: closures, prototypes, async behaviour, event loop, performance implications, and architectural concepts.
  • Strong backend engineering experience with Node.js.
  • Solid experience with SQL and reasoning about relational data (PostgreSQL preferred).
  • Ability to learn new frameworks and paradigms quickly — including Svelte 5.
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.

Strong Advantage

  • Experience with Canvas, WebGL, three.js, or similar graphics/visualization technologies.
  • Ability to reason about rendering, performance budgets, and smooth interactivity.

Preferred

  • Experience with Supabase or similar developer-oriented backend platforms.
  • Familiarity with event-driven architectures or real-time features.
  • Interest in or exposure to AI/ML data processing.

Why This Role Matters

This role directly shapes both our product experience and our technical foundation. Your fluency in JavaScript, ability to collaborate on data and system design, and comfort working across the stack will have a meaningful impact on performance, reliability, and user experience.

You’ll join a small team where deep engineering skill, clear thinking, and ownership truly matter.

This role is for someone who knows how to build momentum around a product, shape a narrative, and turn complex ideas into clear, engaging communication.

You’ll own our marketing presence end-to-end: strategy, execution, content creation, tone-of-voice, and campaign planning. From high-level positioning to day-to-day output, you’ll be responsible for how PlayIQ shows up, who we reach, and how we grow.

This person will work tightly with our Commercial Director to align marketing initiatives with commercial goals, partnerships, and market expansion opportunities.

What You Bring

Required

  • Proven experience in social media strategy, digital content creation, and brand communication.
  • Strong understanding of modern marketing channels, formats, and storytelling techniques.
  • Ability to produce high-quality content independently — visually and textually.
  • Data-driven mindset with experience interpreting analytics and iterating based on results.
  • Excellent communication skills and a strong sense for tone, timing, and messaging.
