## Description

At **Ocean Infinity**, we're on a bold mission to subsea data using innovative technology.

Using cutting-edge robotics, autonomous technology and world-class software, we're transforming how complex operations are carried out at sea. Our uncrewed systems are making ocean exploration and operations **safer, smarter and more sustainable**, helping unlock the vast potential of our oceans while reducing environmental impact. 🌍

This isn't a vision for the future. **It's happening right now.**

As we continue to push the boundaries of innovation and redefine what's possible in the maritime industry, we're looking for exceptional talent to join our fast-growing team.

Ocean Infinity is looking for an AI Engineer to join our growing AI team, applying cutting-edge AI to underwater sensor data including sonar, magnetometer and acoustic systems. You'll tackle high-impact challenges across ocean survey, maritime operations, asset monitoring and autonomous vessels, building production-ready AI solutions that deliver real-world impact. This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role offering the opportunity to shape the future of AI in a rapidly evolving and largely untapped field

## Requirements

**What you will do! 🤖**  
• Contribute to the design and delivery of AI solutions, taking projects from exploratory research through to production-ready inference pipelines.

• Define the technical approach for complex AI projects, making decisions on model architectures, data strategies, evaluation frameworks, and deployment paths.

• Design and implement models for detection, classification, prediction, and feature extraction.

• Work with large-scale, often unlabelled datasets and apply self-supervised and semi-supervised learning techniques to build robust models.

• Adapt and fine-tune foundation models, with techniques such as active learning for domain specific challenges in maritime AI.

• Review code, define best practices, and champion high engineering standards across the AI team.

• Communicate technical progress, trade-offs, and results clearly to both technical and non technical stakeholders.

**What we look for!🔍**

• You have a degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field. A PhD or research background in Machine Learning or underwater sensor processing algorithms is a strong plus.

• You have evidence of hands-on experience in AI and Machine Learning.

• You are a solid Python developer with strong experience in PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar deep learning frameworks.

• You have experience working with non-standard imagery data. Writing custom data loaders and curating custom datasets. • You write clean, maintainable code and hold software engineering quality to the same standard as model performance.

• You are comfortable operating with high autonomy in ambiguous, evolving environments and can break large problems into deliverable increments.

• You communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and can explain complex AI concepts clearly

**Nice to have! ✨**

• Experience with self-supervised learning approaches such as DINO-style training, or joint embedding predictive architectures (JEPA).

• Familiarity with foundation models and their adaptation for domain-specific tasks via fine-tuning or few-shot methods.

• Experience working with sonar, magnetometer, acoustic or other remote-sensing data types.

• Knowledge of MLOps practices including experiment tracking, model versioning, containerisation, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Publications or contributions to the research community through journals, conferences, Kaggle competitions, or open-source projects.
