NorthEast Region, Singapore ST Engineering Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

We build autonomous AI agents that partner with computer‑vision engineers to curate data, train models, and ship services—on time, every sprint. A transparent roadmap, bi‑weekly reviews, and robust CI/CD keep us laser‑focused on production impact.

This is a 2-year contract position (convertible if good performance) based in Singapore.

Key Responsibilities

Agent Framework & Libraries

  • Architect modular Python libraries and a CLI that expose core agent primitives—task graphs, skills, memory, and tool interfaces.

Orchestration & Scheduling

  • Implement a scalable orchestration layer (Celery, Argo Workflows, Prefect, or similar) that runs multi‑step CV pipelines with retry, rollback, and SLA guarantees.
  • Integrate vector and hybrid search stores so agents can retrieve data during execution.

Tooling & Developer Experience

  • Create CLI utilities and REST/gRPC APIs that let engineers trigger, inspect, and debug agent runs.
  • Maintain CI/CD pipelines, comprehensive test suites, and infrastructure‑as‑code so the agent platform ships reliably on a bi‑weekly cadence.

Integrate CV Toolkits

  • Wrap best‑in‑class vision components (OpenCV, TorchVision, MMDetection, Ultralytics YOLO, Albumentations, etc.) so agents can call data‑prep, augmentation, model‑zoo, and metric utilities on demand to meet user requirements.

Must-Have Skills

  • Solid engineering foundation – 5 + years writing production software (ideally Python), strong grasp of algorithms, data structures, Git workflows, and code‑review best practices.
  • Agent frameworks – hands‑on experience designing or extending agent stacks such as LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, or custom in‑house task‑graph engines.
  • Orchestration at scale – proficiency with a workflow scheduler or task queue (Prefect, Argo Workflows, Airflow, Dagster, Celery) and the patterns for retry, rollback, and SLA tracking.
  • Computer‑vision pipeline know‑how – practical exposure to training and evaluating CV models (classification, detection, segmentation) and understanding of data‑quality pitfalls.
  • Evaluation & observability – ability to build automated test/evaluation harnesses using pytest, MLflow, wandb, or equivalent, and expose metrics via Prometheus/Grafana or OpenTelemetry.
  • Vector & hybrid search – experience integrating stores such as Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, or FAISS to power agent memory and retrieval workflows.
  • Model serving & packaging – familiarity with TorchServe, Triton, BentoML, ONNX Runtime, or similar frameworks, plus Docker/Kubernetes fundamentals.
  • CI/CD & IaC – competence setting up GitHub Actions/GitLab CI pipelines and Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform, Pulumi) to keep releases predictable.
  • Cloud fluency – production deployments on one or more providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) and an eye for cost/performance trade‑offs.
  • Clear communication – comfort writing design docs/RFCs and mentoring peers on agent architecture, testing, and deployment best practices.

Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Portfolio of AI/Computer Vision/Agent projects or open-source contributions
  • UI development experience (e.g., Gradio, Streamlit)
  • ML observability tools familiarity (e.g., Grafana or Datadog)
