Job Description

Senior Staff Engineer, Computer Vision/AI

Instacart

Role Description Instacart's Caper team is building AI-powered checkout experiences for in-store shopping. Basket Intelligence is a core functionality of the Caper smart carts, allowing us to unlock use cases in all domains (Shopping Experience, Incentives, Anti-Theft, Indoor Location). Our goal is to continuously improve basket understanding, and for that we are using more and more Computer Vision and AI technologies to ensure accuracy. The CV/AI: Visual Recognition group is at the center of that mission, building computer vision models and the infrastructure to support all domains in expanding their understanding of the customer basket. As a Staff CV/AI Engineer, you’ll: - Invent and build novel CV models and algorithms from scratch — detection, classification, tracking, and multi-sensor fusion. - Own end-to-end data infrastructure: design and operate labeling pipelines, curation strategies, active learning loops, and annotation quality controls. - Own the model-to-device pipeline: optimize models for Caper’s edge hardware using quantization, pruning, TensorRT/ONNX, and CUDA-level tuning. - Partner with AI Infrastructure and Instacart’s ML platform teams to define where and how models run. - Translate business goals into system requirements; define metrics and run rigorous offline and online experiments. - Define technical strategy and roadmap for CV/AI; serve as the primary technical voice in cross-functional decisions. - Establish engineering standards for model development and deployment that scale org-wide. - Ensure in-store image and video systems are designed with privacy, security, and compliance requirements built in. Qualifications - 8+ years owning end-to-end computer vision or deep learning systems in production. - Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience. - Demonstrated ability to design and ship novel CV architectures using Python and PyTorch (or TensorFlow). - Proven ownership of the model-to-device pipeline. - Led the design and operation of large-scale data and labeling pipelines. - Track record of framing ambiguous business problems as tractable engineering workstreams. - Owned distributed training and inference infrastructure on cloud/GPU platforms. - Established engineering standards and shaped technical direction across teams. Requirements - Graduate degree (MS or PhD) in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robotics, or related field. - Experience with multi-modal perception and sensor fusion for product identification and tracking. - Background in retail, point-of-sale, or fraud/shrink detection systems. - Strong MLOps experience. - Low-level performance expertise: custom CUDA kernels, graph optimization, NVIDIA GPU tooling. - Demonstrated 0-to-1 track record. - Experience with model evaluation platforms and pipelines. Benefits - Highly market-competitive compensation and benefits. - Remote work flexibility. - New hire equity grant and annual refresh grants.
