SignZen | Idea Stage | Philippines | Part-time (4 hours a week) - Remote | AI Engineer (Computer Vision)

We are currently working on a fun adtech idea, which is built on the premise of generating passive revenue for existing businesses. We are hoping that our solution will result in uplifting the community as a whole. More revenue for businesses means more opportunities for other people or better products/services for the customers.

You will be part of the founding team and will mainly build out the platform. We are currently working on realtime anonymous people re-identification and gaze tracking to help us show effectiveness of the advertiser's contents.

Your Qualifications: - Fluency in English - Proficient with Linux - Proficient in Python - Strong knowledge of CV algorithms, ML/DL algorithms - Extensive experience in OpenCV, TensorFlow, H5py - Extensive experience with facial detection and recognition algorithms - Strong desire to rip everything apart and understand how systems work - Hyper focused and motivated to learn advanced software development principles and best practices

Will be an advantage: - IoT experience - Active in Kaggle competitions

What we offer: Since we are currently bootstraping, still in idea stage, have no revenue yet and come from a 3rd world country, we can only afford $200 a month for the compensation. We know is peanut amount for you guys/gals, but we only earn around $1000 a month so that is still a huge investment on our end.

You only have to commit for 4 hours a week, that is one hour a day. We are results oriented, so if you can finish a 4 hour estimated goal in 5 minutes that would mean you are done for the week. We are doing this with the motivation of making the world suck less, build an awesome second family and make our lives more meaningful by being of service to the community. If these values and position resonate with you, please fill up this application form https://bit.ly/305JYcw. Thank you for your time and stay awesome!
