Machine Learning Engineer

About the job

🚀 We are hiring! Machine Learning Engineer (Synthetic Data) at Agit

Experience Level:

Entry-Level (Recent Master’s Graduates)

Location:

Porto, Portugal (1 day / week @ office, rest is remote)

About Us

At Agit, we are building the AI and data for the next generation of human motion estimation models.

At the core of our technology is a proprietary synthetic data engine that generates hyper-realistic, highly randomized 3D video datasets with perfect ground truth labels. It's built on thousands of unique mocap animations, from fitness routines to complex physiotherapy poses.

The Role

You will be stepping into a high-impact role centered around our synthetic data pipeline. Your work will focus on two main pillars:

• Training AI: Developing and training computer vision and pose estimation models using predominantly our synthetic data (a mix of CG and Generative AI). Take full ownership of ML projects, from experimenting with new architectures to training and evaluating models for human pose and movement tracking. Work with 2D/3D keypoints (COCO, MediaPipe pose, etc.), segmentation, depth maps and more to push the boundaries of current pose estimation capabilities.
• Improving Synthetic Generation pipeline: Enhancing our Blender-based pipeline to create even better, more diverse, and more realistic synthetic datasets. Collaborate on the synthetic data pipeline, using scripting to improve the quality of our rendered outputs.

Operate with a high degree of autonomy to identify bottlenecks, propose innovative solutions, and execute them without needing constant supervision.

Who You Are

• Education: You recently graduated or are about to graduate with a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a closely related field
• Based in Portugal: We work in person 1 day per week in Porto, Portugal (UPTEC); rest of the time is remote.
• A Builder: You are proactive and implementation-focused. You love to write code, push commits, and ship solutions fast.
• Fearless \& Autonomous: Comfortable with ambiguity, and unafraid to tackle complex technical challenges head-on.
• Technically Sound: You have solid foundation in Deep Learning / Computer Vision / Vision AI. You are not afraid to learn new things and technologies.
• Tooling \& Infrastructure: Python, Pytorch, Tensorflow, Git, W\&B, Blender / Godot / Unity / Unreal Engine, Docker, AI Tools

Bonus Points:

Solid experience with training and evaluating models using pytorch / tensorflow.

Experience with pose estimation, synthetic video data or diffusion models.

Experienced with 3D engine development (Blender, Godot, Unity, Unreal Engine, etc.) for AI or gaming.

A passion for fitness / movement science.
