Head of Computer Vision

Bobyard is a company focused on solving complex computer vision problems in the construction industry. They are seeking a leader to set technical direction and enhance the performance of their computer vision systems, while also actively participating in coding and team development.

Responsibilities:

• Build SOTA CV systems: Architect models that detect, segment, OCR, and reason over construction drawings. One error costs millions
• Own end-to-end pipelines: Data ingestion, labeling, training, eval, and low-latency inference. If it doesn’t run in prod at scale, it doesn’t exist
• Scale the infra: Train on massive datasets and serve millions of inferences. Drive cost down while accuracy goes up. Make the hard systems calls
• Guarantee production reliability: Uptime, latency, drift. When models break, revenue stops. You’re accountable for every prediction
• Push model performance: Accuracy, robustness, generalization. 10,000+ drawing formats, scanned, crooked, handwritten — they all need to just work
• Ship with product + fullstack: No research silos. You integrate models into features customers use daily. Tie every experiment to user impact
• Attack failure modes: Live in real customer data. Find where we fail, why we fail, and fix it this week
• Apply research pragmatically: Stay on the frontier. Rip what works from papers, ship it next sprint, measure impact in dollars saved
• Set technical strategy: Define the ML roadmap. Decide what we build, what we buy, what we kill. Align the team on the highest-leverage bets
• Lead and grow the team: Hire A+ ML talent. Coach, unblock, and develop world-class engineers. Give hard feedback. Keep the bar savage
