Job Description

Head of Engineering Advex

Location: San Francisco Full-time 5 days a week in-office

Job Overview

Advex is building vision AI agents for manufacturing.

Our synthetic data generation platform addresses and provides a solution to the ongoing data shortage problem. After using our platform, our Fortune 500 customers on average see a 300% improvement from their baseline accuracy in just a few hours!

The next evolution of our product is increasing accessibility of industrial vision systems. We are laying the foundation for a huge change in vision for manufacturing - ditching CNNs for VLMs and leveraging generative vision agents which require little to no data and are programmable by anyone.

  3. Contribute heavily to the architectural roadmap, laying out the foundation for the Advex platform

  4. Collaborate with our founder on product direction, customer needs, and hiring.

We are looking for stellar individuals who can lead, are autonomous, and can make decisions with limited information.

About You

We are seeking a candidate who embodies the following qualifications and characteristics:

  • 5+ years engineering experience, including shipping production ML and CV systems

  • Proven ability to lead and hire teams

  • Proven ability to translate product requirements into technical roadmaps

  • Prior startup experience
