Artificial Intelligence Engineer

About Mvaak

Mvaak is an AI data services company specialising in egocentric (first-person) video data. We capture, process and deliver real-world datasets that AI labs, robotics teams and data partners use to train the next generation of multimodal and embodied AI models. We’re a lean, fast-moving team where early-career engineers get real ownership from day one.

Role Overview

We’re looking for an early-career AI Engineer who wants to learn fast and build hands-on. You’ll help develop the LLM, vision-language and automation workflows that turn raw egocentric video into model-ready datasets. You’ll work alongside senior team members and grow quickly across GenAI, computer vision and data engineering.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and improve pipelines for processing, captioning and tagging egocentric video using LLMs and VLMs
• Write scripts for automated quality checks (blur, frame drops, face/PII redaction, metadata validation)
• Help build AI agents and automations for dataset QA and packaging
• Experiment with open-source vision and language models and evaluate their output
• Support dataset preparation and delivery to client specifications
• Document your work and share learnings with the team

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, AI, Data Science or a related field (final-year students may apply)
• 0–2 years of experience, including internships, academic or personal projects in AI/ML
• Good Python skills
• Basic understanding of machine learning and deep learning concepts
• Hands-on experience with at least one of: PyTorch, Hugging Face, OpenCV
• Has built at least one project using LLM APIs (Claude, GPT, Gemini) or open-source models
• Curiosity, ownership and a willingness to learn quickly

Good to Have

• Computer vision or video processing projects (OpenCV, FFmpeg)
• Exposure to LangChain, LangGraph, RAG or vector databases
• Basic FastAPI/Flask and cloud (AWS or GCP) experience
• Familiarity with annotation tools (CVAT, Label Studio)
• GitHub portfolio, Kaggle work or open-source contributions

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Fully remote, flexible working hours
• Mentorship and fast learning on cutting-edge multimodal AI work
• Real ownership and direct impact in an early-stage team
