Engineering Manager - Computer Vision at Vizzia

MISSION Joining Vizzia means becoming part of a fast-growing deeptech startup building innovative solutions for cities. The AI team is currently working on two core products: - Waste: automated detection of illegal dumping, an existing product now scaling - Safety: an intelligent urban monitoring solution, built from scratch As an Engineering Manager – Computer Vision, your mission is twofold: 👉 build robust, production-grade computer vision systems, 👉 grow and lead a team of engineers and data scientists, in a demanding, real-world product environment. Your impact is direct on the quality, reliability, and real-world deployment of models in production. RESPONSIBILITIES - Lead the development and production deployment of computer vision models (detection, tracking, multimodal vision). - Ensure technical excellence across the full model lifecycle: data, training, evaluation, cloud and edge deployment. - Design and evolve the technical architecture of CV systems (vision stack, ML infrastructure, pipelines). - Coach, mentor, and support team members’ growth (1:1s, feedback, mentoring). - Work closely with the Head of AI and product teams to align technical vision with business goals. - Establish and maintain best practices: code quality, ML CI/CD, MLOps, monitoring, documentation. - Actively contribute to technology choices and stay up to date with advances in applied computer vision and AI. PROFILE Key skills (must have) - Strong expertise in applied computer vision, with hands-on production experience. - Excellent knowledge of Python and software engineering best practices. - Strong proficiency with PyTorch (or TensorFlow). - Solid experience with detection and tracking models (YOLO, R-CNN, DeepSORT, etc.). - Strong foundations in MLOps: pipelines, monitoring, versioning, deployment. - Ability to own and arbitrate complex technical topics at the product level. Nice to have - Experience with Vision-Language Models (CLIP, Gemini, GPT-4). - Cloud experience (AWS, GCP). - Model optimization techniques: quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation. - Edge deployment experience (Jetson, ONNX, TensorRT). - Experience with large-scale multi-object tracking systems. ⭐ WHAT WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE - Strong technical leadership, with the ability to make structuring, long-term decisions. - Hands on capacity to participate in developing cutting edge computer vision products. - Excellent communication skills, able to align and bring a team along around technical and product choices. - A pragmatic mindset, focused on delivery and tangible product impact. - A strong appetite for startup environments and for building systems and teams from the ground up. - A genuine desire to help others grow and to build a strong, sustainable team over time. 💚 WHY JOIN US? - Contribute to real-world AI projects with environmental impact. - Work within a multidisciplinary team (AI, Data, Software, Product). - A culture of trust and responsibility, where everyone contributes to collective progress. BENEFITS - 🏡 Hybrid work - 🏝 “Contrat cadre” and RTT (between 8-12 per year depending on the number of public holidays in the current year) - 💻 A Mac or PC depending on your preferences - 💸 BSPCE - 🍜 60% coverage of meal vouchers worth €9 per worked day - 🚃/🚲 Sustainable mobility allowance - 🏥 Mutuelle (Alan) - 💼 Offices located in central Paris (9th arrondissement) - ☀️ Annual offsite with the whole team and plenty of company events
