You’ll shape their product offering.

You’ll be part of an exciting journey.

Where you fit in

You’ll be part of a ground-breaking, fast-growing business with an entrepreneurial leadership team. They’ve brought together some of the world’s best brains in computer vision and deep learning to create AI that can interpret facial expressions and, in turn, human emotions.

Specifically, you’ll join the R&D team, which comprises five engineers and scientists, and help the business to bridge the gap between academic research into human emotions, machine learning, and actionable business applications.

Essentially, that means horizon scanning to keep abreast of the latest developments, tools, and tech – whether that’s in universities or commercial competitors.
