AI Engineer (Computer Vision and Applied GenAI)
Job Summary
Location: Amman Jordan. Fully remote.
Type: Full-time permanent.
Level: Mid-level roughly 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience.
Languages: English required. German is a strong plus.
About the role
We are looking for an AI Engineer based in Amman who will work remotely with a distributed engineering team. This is a builder role not a research role. You will take AI capabilities from prototype to something that runs reliably in production and you will own your work end to end: the model the data around it the service that serves it and the evidence that it actually works.
The work spans two areas. On one side computer vision and perception: camera pipelines object detection and recognition and inference that has to run fast and stay stable. On the other applied generative AI: LLM-based features retrieval agents and the evaluation harnesses that keep them honest. You will not be handed a narrow slice of either. You will be expected to move between them and to build the plumbing that connects them to a real product.
- Design train fine-tune and evaluate models for vision tasks (detection classification segmentation tracking) and integrate them into production pipelines.
- Build LLM-powered features: retrieval-augmented generation tool-using agents structured extraction and the prompt and evaluation infrastructure behind them.
- Write the services around the models: APIs data pipelines batch and streaming jobs storage.
- Optimise for the target hardware including quantisation batching and inference on edge devices where cloud inference is not an option.
- Define and track quality metrics. Establish a baseline before claiming an improvement and be able to show where a number came from.
- Instrument monitor and debug models in production: drift latency failure modes and the unglamorous work of finding out why a pipeline broke at 3am.
- Work directly with product and business stakeholders to turn a vague need into a scoped measurable deliverable.
- Document what you build so that the next engineer does not have to reverse-engineer it.
- 3 to 5 years building and shipping machine learning or AI systems in production. Personal projects and Kaggle notebooks alone will not cover this.
- Strong Python. Clean tested reviewable code not notebook-only output.
- Practical depth in at least one of the two areas below and working familiarity with the other:
- Computer vision: PyTorch or TensorFlow OpenCV modern detection and segmentation architectures dataset creation and annotation workflows.
- Applied GenAI: LLM APIs and open-weight models RAG embeddings and vector stores agent frameworks prompt design and systematic evaluation.
- Solid software engineering fundamentals: Git code review testing CI Docker and comfort on the Linux command line.
- Experience deploying a model as a service and keeping it running including cloud deployment (AWS Azure or GCP) and basic observability.
- SQL and general data handling: you can find clean and reason about the data before modelling it.
- Fluent written and spoken English and the self-direction that remote work requires. You are comfortable writing things down flagging blockers early and working without someone checking in on you hourly.
Strong plus
- German language skills. Part of the team and a meaningful share of the documentation meetings and stakeholder communication are in German. Any level from solid B1 upward is a real advantage and it will widen the scope of what you can own. It is not a hard requirement and we will support you in improving it.
- Edge and embedded inference: NVIDIA Jetson TensorRT ONNX Runtime OpenVINO.
- Video streaming and industrial camera work: RTSP GStreamer GenICam machine vision cameras.
- MLOps tooling: MLflow Weights and Biases DVC Kubernetes model registries.
- Experience in an industrial robotics IoT or B2B product environment.
- A public track record: open source contributions technical writing or published work.
- Competitive salary benchmarked to the Amman market for this level.
- Fully remote setup.
- Real ownership of features that reach customers rather than proof-of-concept work that is quietly shelved.
- Direct exposure to the European market and to senior technical decision making.
How we work
- Remote-first with asynchronous written communication as the default and a reasonable overlap window with the European working day.
- Small teams short decision paths and direct access to the people who set priorities.
- We prefer a working pilot with a clear owner and a measurable outcome over a long specification.
- Human oversight data protection and security are part of the definition of done not an afterthought bolted on before launch.
