About the Role

My client is hiring a Machine Learning Engineer to join a small but impactful team at the intersection of deep learning, computer vision, and real-time 3D systems.

This is a chance to push the boundaries of digital human performance, runtime tracking, and facial capture—projects that directly power high-end experiences.

You’ll collaborate closely with a world-class VFX team, helping automate and optimize artist pipelines while building cutting-edge ML models that work with 3D data and real-world runtime systems.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Designing and training deep learning models end-to-end
• Experimenting with GenAI architectures (VAEs, Diffusion Models, Transformers)
• Working with 3D geometry, meshes, and tools like Blender
• Supporting automation efforts to streamline creative production pipelines

What We’re Looking For

• Solid experience with deep learning and computer vision
• Proficiency in C++ (especially for low-level or runtime systems)
• Familiarity with GenAI and recent ML research trends
• Exposure to 3D environments, animation, or game engines
• Comfort working in cross-disciplinary teams (engineering x creative)
• A portfolio of personal or open-source projects (GitHub is a plus)

Nice to Have

• Engineering background with a transition into ML/AI
• Prior work in gaming, VFX, graphics, or interactive media
• Understanding of facial capture, digital humans, and animation tech

Interview Process

• Intro Call (30 mins): CV walkthrough + high-level tech screen
• Technical Interview (1 hour): Engineering, ML, and applied problem-solving
• Final Onsite (4–5 hours): Meet the team, dive deeper, enjoy lunch
