This is a hands-on applied ML role youll be working closely with our hardware and embedded teams to build small but powerful models that are accurate, secure, and performant in real-world environments.
Responsibilities
- Develop and improve computer vision models for presentation attack detection (spoofing, fake hands, 3D prints, etc.).
- Enhance and optimize our PalmCode algorithm for unique biometric identification.
- Design and train lightweight ML models capable of running on embedded devices with limited compute resources.
- Collaborate with security and embedded systems engineers to integrate ML inference within trusted execution environments (TEE).
- Collect, clean, and curate datasets for biometric feature extraction and spoof detection.
- Conduct model evaluation, benchmarking, and field testing to improve robustness.
- Stay up to date with research in computer vision, biometric security, and efficient on-device ML.
- Strong experience in computer vision and applied ML, ideally in biometrics, face/palm/iris recognition, or similar.
- Proficiency with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX).
- Experience building efficient models for edge/embedded deployment (quantization, pruning, distillation).
- Familiarity with presentation attack detection (PAD) methods and adversarial robustness.
- Strong programming skills in Python and C++ (experience with embedded deployment frameworks a plus).
- Solid grasp of ML lifecycle: data pipelines, training, evaluation, deployment.
- Understanding of biometric data privacy and compliance considerations.
- Very strong foundations in probability, statistics, linear algebra, and optimization, with the ability to reason about model behaviour beyond using existing libraries.
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- 3+ years of industry or academic experience applying ML/CV.
- Experience in biometrics or embedded ML is strongly preferred.
- Experience with fine-grained recognition models (e.g., palm, fingerprint, face, voice recognition).
- Research or contributions in PAD or biometric security.
- Background in on-device inference frameworks (TensorRT, TFLite, Arm NN).
- Understanding of cryptography or secure ML (e.g., inference in TEE).
- Contributions to open-source ML/CV projects.
- Global and Diverse Workforce: You'll work with people from various backgrounds and cultures.
- Learning and Development : You'll work on innovative, challenging projects and have access to experts and mentors to enhance your skills.
- Career Growth : Access to training, mentorship, and opportunities to contribute to open-source initiatives.
- Global Events and Conferences: Opportunities to attend the industry events.
- Collaborative and Innovative Culture: We foster teamwork and encourage new ideas.
At Nethermind, we celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all team members. We believe a variety of perspectives drives innovation and leads to better solutions for the blockchain community.
