About the Role

We are looking for a Python Video Processing Engineer to join our multidisciplinary team and help design and optimise high-performance video pipelines in the cloud. You'll be working on cutting-edge software for a medical device, ensuring robustness, security, and efficiency in everything you build.

A Day in the Life

• Design, implement, and optimise custom cloud-based video pipelines for video processing.

• Leverage hardware acceleration to build high-performance, low-latency video capture, processing, AI inference, visualisation, and streaming software.

• Collaborate with engineers and researchers to deliver secure-by-design medical software.

• Maintain high standards of code quality through reviews, testing, and documentation.

Must Haves

• Hands-on experience with AI inference acceleration (eg NVIDIA TensorRT, ONNX Runtime).

• Strong proficiency in Python for numerical and performance-focused computing.

• Expertise in hardware-accelerated video decoding/encoding using Python.

• Proficiency with NumPy, CuPy, SciPy, and related libraries.

• Proven ability to deliver clear, maintainable, and well-documented code.

• Strong communication skills and ability to take ownership of projects end-to-end.

Nice to Haves

• Experience with CUDA and/or OpenCL Kernel development.

• Understanding of video compression and codecs (H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, VP9).

• Solid experience with Linux environments and tooling.

• Familiarity with AWS technologies such as EKS and SQS.

If you're passionate about combining AI, video technology, and cloud infrastructure to make an impact in the medical space - we'd love to hear from you!
