In light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and to protect our candidates' and interviewers' health and wellbeing, we will be conducting all interviews virtually.

About the role

We are searching for a Deep Learning engineer with experience working on production level image recognition models, who is passionate about developing and applying Deep Learning algorithms to solve a wide range of real world problems, from detecting anomalies in shiny glass bottles to identifying nodules in thyroid ultrasound images and predicting possible landslides from topographical maps - just to name a few.

At Incubit, we undertake the challenge of solving problems that haven't been solved alongside the leading companies of Japan. Japanese companies have a long tradition of working with external technical experts to solve their core business issues by applying the latest technology. They count on us as an expert in problem solving, especially in the area of image recognition using Deep Learning technology. We have worked with companies in the fields of medicine, bio tech, space, geology and manufacturing, with achievements that always exceed our clients' expectations.

The Ideal Candidate

Loves the challenge of confronting a problem and delivering a real solution to it
Is innately curious, and has a passion for learning new things
Enjoys a certain degree of volatility, uncertainty and ambiguity
Finds joy in one's own advancement by immersing oneself in one's specialty, and seeing one's contribution reflected in the coworkers' and project's success
Is not afraid to think outside the box and come up with bold and innovative hypothesis based on the inspiration, and is able to logically explain the reasoning behind
Is comfortable building a quick proof of concept from scratch, as well as writing code in an existing large-scale sustainable system

If this describes you, come join our team at Incubit in the heart of Tokyo. We are a diligent and pleasant multi-cultural team of engineers and professionals spread between Japan and Taiwan that provides plenty of opportunities to learn and grow together. We are still a small startup - and growing healthily with no Venture Capital involvement - as we appraise freedom and independence more important than anything else, which allows you to have a tangible impact on us, whether it is about a project we take or the role you play in the company.

Why is this role important for Incubit's work?

As a Deep Learning Engineer at Incubit, you will be responsible for successfully delivering solutions to client projects, where several of them are often running in parallel, together with a team of engineers and Project Managers. You have a significant amount of freedom and responsibility. You will drive the project from the technical side to deliver the best solution on time with genuine input from your colleagues. You will have a direct impact in making the project successful.

Once Here You Will

Assist Project Managers when crafting a project blueprint by providing technical insights
Design a technical solution together with co-engineers that best solves the client's goal taking into consideration established methodologies as well as the latest research in the field of Machine Learning
Design/develop algorithms and train models, especially based on Deep Learning approaches to address problems such as object detection, classification, and segmentation
Evaluate the models using appropriate metrics and collaborate with PMs to put together client-facing materials to report the results and possible measures for future improvement based on your analysis
Develop algorithms for Deep Learning data preprocessing and postprocessing
Perform deep network optimization so that it can be deployed to various platforms
Finalize deliverables for the client and, if required, deploy the model to the production environment
Visit clients' sites when direct involvement of engineers will improve the overall efficiency and quality of the project
Keep up with the latest technologies and literature in the field and propose innovative ideas
Take an active role in external communication by publishing research papers, writing blog posts, etc

What does Incubit offer you?

At Incubit, you can solve diverse and complex challenges for our clients, alongside thoughtful, intelligent individuals who lead with passion, curiosity, and empathy. We work hard but also respect the need for work-life balance, and allow for autonomy in the entire project process and your career.
