Companies Zipdev Forward Deployed Engineer (Machine Learning)

About the role

Zipdev

Our client is building vision agents for large venues such as hotels and casinos— powering real-time video analytics and intelligent surveillance across hundreds of camera streams. Our systems run on-prem in some of the largest resorts in Las Vegas, and many more in the pipeline.
They’re a highly technical team shipping deep tech into one of the most operationally demanding and dynamic environments.

The Role
We’re looking for a Forward Deployed ML Engineer who blends strong technical ML/CV ability with comfort deploying systems in the field.
You will own our real-time vision pipelines end-to-end and be the technical face of the client's inside casinos.
This role is not a back-office research job.

 You will:

  • Ship models into production
  • Debug production pipelines at client sites
  • Build new ML features ranging from classical ML, computer vision and LLMs
  • Work hands-on with GPU servers & multi-camera systems
  • Collaborate with customer surveillance teams and distribution partners

If you love solving real-world problems in messy environments, this is your role.

What You’ll Do

  • Train, tune, and update/deploy deep learning models at client sites
  • Maintain low-latency inference pipelines on-premise using PyTorch, ONNX, and TensorRT and Triton.
  • Build training data processing pipelines, QA/QC labeling and coordinate work with our labelling teams
  • Work closely with customers and with the product manager to experiment and ship new features

Requirements

  • 2-3 years of experience in machine learning with strong knowledge about not just deep learning but also classical ML (You’re an ML engineer first — someone who can train models, tune them, debug them in the wild, and build the software around them to make them production-ready.).
  • Strong skills in Linux, Docker, and shipping models as services.
  • Comfortable working in live production environments with minimal supervision.
  • A startup mindset — resourceful, adaptable, and excited to work across ML, backend, and DevOps boundaries.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with GStreamer, FFmpeg, or RTSP (or similar protocol) video pipelines.
  • Experience with Triton Server, model optimization using TensorRT and other deep learning acceleration frameworks.

Benefits

  • Work remotely Monday - Friday, 40 hours a week (no weekends)
  • Vacation: 10 business days a year
  • Holidays: 5 National Holidays a year
  • Company Holidays: 5 Company Holidays a year (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Zipdev Day)

  • Quarterly Home Office Reimbursement
  • Payroll Deduction Purchase Plans
  • Longevity Bonus
  • Continuous Learning Bonus
  • Access to Training and Professional Development Platforms
