What will my work responsibilities look like if I join Posha?
In this role - you would:
Monitor ML Model Health: Perform system health checks on deployed machine learning models, identifying data quality issues, annotation drift, or labeling inconsistencies that impact model performance.
Quality Assurance & Validation: Validate annotations delivered by external labeling companies, ensuring complete alignment with our objectives for ingredient detection, cooking state tracking, and other vision tasks.
Create Annotation Guidelines: Write clear, comprehensive annotation guidelines for new tasks (e.g., segmentation masks for vegetables, bounding boxes for ingredient identification, classification labels for cooking stages) that can be shared with labelling partners.
Hands-on Collaboration: Work directly with the labelling company on initial batches of images to establish shared understanding, calibrate quality standards, and iron out edge cases before scaling.
Iterative Refinement: Refine annotation rules and guidelines based on ongoing feedback from the ML team and labelling company - creating a continuous improvement loop for data quality.
Cross-functional Pipeline Management: Actively collaborate with the kitchen-ops team to understand upcoming annotation needs, prioritise tasks, and build an efficient pipeline to get relevant cooking data annotated on time.
What makes you a match for us?
Bachelor's degree
2-5 years of experience in data annotation, ML operations, or Computer Vision projects
Strong attention to detail with the ability to spot inconsistencies in labeled data
Basic understanding of computer vision concepts (object detection, segmentation, classification)
Familiarity with annotation tools (e.g., CVAT, Label Studio, V7, Supervisely) is a plus
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for creating guidelines and coordinating with external teams
Comfortable working in an ambiguous, fast-paced startup environment where you'll need to define processes from scratch
Passionate about quality and willing to dive deep into edge cases
Bonus: Understanding of how ML models are trained and deployed
