Living Optics | Software Engineer | Full-time | Oxford, UK
Living Optics is a new Oxford University start-up building next-generation hyperspectral cameras. We are creating a leap forward in our capacity to easily see what is invisible to the naked eye. Using a combination of patented optical methods, machine learning, and advanced applied mathematics, we are radically miniaturizing hyperspectral photography, bringing down costs while improving performance.
We are building a world-class team to bring this vision to life, and we are looking for Software Engineers that are excited for the challenge. As one of the earliest members of the team, this candidate will be ready to excel, will teach and learn from others, and rewarded for their contributions.
Key responsibilities
    Research and development of machine learning models that continually advance the state of the art in image reconstruction
    Using machine learning to expand what is possible with hyperspectral photography including image classification and feature detection

Essential requirements
    Strong grasp of modern deep learning including generative adversarial networks (GAN)
    Hands-on experience building production machine learning systems on cloud infrastructure
    Comfortable diving into the latest research and transferring academic work to real-world systems
    Very creative and ready to think outside the box to improve systems
    Very experienced with Python or similar programming languages
    Strong Computer Science background or similar technical background
    Empathy and readiness to contribute to conversations about company strategy
