Company: Connex Technology
Experience: 8+ years
About the Role
We are looking for a highly experienced, hands-on Senior AI Engineer specializing in Generative AI, Image Generation, and Facial Computer Vision.
This role is for an engineer who has successfully built, deployed, and maintained real AI products used by actual customers - not someone whose experience is limited to prototypes or proof-of-concept projects.
You will take technical ownership of AI development, from model selection and integration to deployment, performance optimization, and ongoing production support.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and deploy production-ready generative AI and computer vision solutions.
- Integrate hosted image-generation models and APIs, including OpenAI, Google Gemini, Amazon Bedrock, FLUX, or equivalent platforms.
- Build reliable image-generation workflows that deliver consistent, controlled, high-quality outputs.
- Develop and optimize facial computer vision pipelines involving face detection, facial landmarks, segmentation, and embeddings.
- Integrate AI models into scalable applications and production workflows.
- Optimize model accuracy, inference latency, reliability, and API costs.
- Monitor production performance, troubleshoot failures, and maintain deployed AI systems.
- Own technical architecture, review implementations, and guide a small engineering team.
Required Qualifications:
- 8+ years of relevant experience in AI engineering, machine learning, or computer vision.
- Proven experience building and operating at least one production generative-image or facial computer vision product with real users.
- Hands-on experience integrating hosted image-generation models through APIs.
- Strong practical understanding of facial landmarks, face detection, segmentation, and facial embeddings.
- Strong Python programming skills.
- Experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, or equivalent computer vision frameworks.
- Experience deploying, maintaining, monitoring, and optimizing production AI systems.
- Previous responsibility as a technical owner or engineering lead.
What Makes You a Strong Candidate:
- You have personally taken an AI product from development to production.
- You understand the difference between a working demo and a reliable production system.
- You can explain the technical decisions you made, the challenges you encountered, and how you improved model performance, output consistency, latency, and costs.
- Most importantly, you are comfortable owning technical delivery rather than simply implementing assigned tasks.
How to Apply:
Apply through LinkedIn with your updated CV or professional profile and send your cv to our email career@connexteck.com
Candidates should be prepared to discuss a real production AI product they personally developed or technically led, including the architecture, technologies used, and their specific contributions.
We prioritize demonstrated production engineering experience over certifications or theoretical AI knowledge.
