1x Senior 3D AI Engineer

Contilio 3D AI is a fast-growing, AI-first SaaS scaleup based in London, UK. We've built and scaled the world's first 3D AI insights platform for the largest industry on earth, construction. Our cutting-edge software delivers automated quality verification, manufacturing-style quantity tracking, construction progress, and predictive risks in hours (not months), while generating an intelligent digital twin previously missing from construction. This empowers our enterprise customers to access connected, timely insights, make smart decisions, and eliminate problems before they happen, saving billions in cost, time, resources, and CO2 emissions.

We are scaling rapidly and building a global AI category leader, creating significant value for our customers and the global population, given that 40% of the world's CO2 originates from the $15Tn Construction industry. To fulfill this vision, we believe that anything is possible, set ambitious goals, and work hard to achieve the impossible.

To fulfill this vision, we are looking to add a smart, ambitious, and technically brilliant Senior 3D AI & Vision Engineer to our team. In this role, you will execute 3D/2D Computer Vision and Machine Learning projects and work closely with our Data Operation team to turn data into structured insights and input for our Vision/ML projects. As you grow into the role, you will also coach and lead junior Data/AI Engineers.

We offer a highly competitive package including equity ownership and the opportunity to take on more responsibility as we rapidly expand our tech and AI team.

Preference for candidates with UK work authorization, though we can sponsor exceptional candidates. This is a hybrid role with 2 days/week in our London Shoreditch office.

What you'll be doing:

• Advance our 3D AI pipeline modules using the latest 3D Data Processing, 3D Vision, and ML techniques.
• Design, develop, and deploy (3D Data and AI) algorithms, structures, and labeling processes that scale efficiently with our growing data volume and customers.
• Identify data, vision/ML, and operational bottlenecks and lead efforts to improve them in an agile, iterative manner.
• Manage end-to-end AI/Vision projects, including oversight of data operations.
• Attend relevant conferences and conduct structured research, turning state-of-the-art research into prototypes and scalable algorithms.
• Manage and coach junior engineers and data team members as you grow within the role.

Technical skills that you need to have:

• 5+ years of relevant work experience in 3D computer vision, machine vision, computational geometry, or related areas (2D vision experience is not sufficient on its own).
• Strong track record in executing AI/ML projects end-to-end (from design and prototyping to scaled deployments).
• High proficiency in Python delivering scalable, high-quality production code.
• Deep familiarity with 3D AI and 3D computer vision frameworks/libraries.
• Hands-on experience with 3D data processing (point clouds/Lidar data).
• MSc/PhD in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Computer Science, or related fields from leading universities in the UK, EU, or US.

Personal traits we'd love to see:

• Passionate about solving novel, high-impact AI & vision problems that deliver real value to customers, the environment, and the global population.
• Exceptional problem solver with the ability to turn cutting-edge research into scalable, innovative technology.
• Strong communication skills (written and verbal); direct, clear, and collaborative.
• Customer-first mindset and high standards for quality and delivery.
• Able to manage your own projects with autonomy, while contributing to a fast-moving agile team.

Any of the following is a plus:

• Start-up/scale-up experience within AI/machine vision/robotics or fast-growing enterprise software companies.
• Experience with ML/DL frameworks for 3D data and pipelines.
• Proficiency using RDBMS systems (ideally Postgres) and deploying on AWS.
• Familiarity with BIM or construction design tools (Autodesk, Bentley, etc.).

Where you will be working: We work in a hybrid manner, 2 days a week in our London Shoreditch office.

How to Apply: Please provide a CV, a short note highlighting your motivation and relevant experience. Please also confirm your UK work authorization status.

Due to the high number of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
