About Captur
Captur helps software understand real world scenes in real-time with an SDK for flexible, on-demand visual recognition. We’re a small, rapidly scaling team backed by top-tier investors; we recently closed a $6M seed round to accelerate product and go-to-market growth. We are global leaders in edge ML and have validated +150M images on-device for enterprise customers such as Lime. Next, expanding as a horizontal platform across use cases that require real-time speed, high volume and coverage across a wide range of mobile devices.
About the Role
You’ll work directly with our ML team on a focused project that aligns both with your interests and our product roadmap. Throughout the internship, you’ll receive regular mentorship and technical feedback while working on real machine learning challenges involving models that run directly on users’ devices.
Potential project areas include:
- Optimising computer vision models for efficient inference on mobile devices
- Fine-tuning and deploying multimodal vision-language models for real-world scene understanding on the edge
- Developing data-centric ML systems that leverage automated labelling and synthetic data generation to improve model quality
- Improving model robustness across challenging real-world environments, edge cases, and distribution shifts
Qualifications
We are looking for candidates who are currently pursuing, or have recently completed, a Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, or a related quantitative discipline
Required Skills
- Strong Python programming skills
- Demonstrated machine learning experience through research, internships, coursework, or substantial personal projects
- Experience independently delivering a technical project from problem definition through experimentation and evaluation
- Clear written and verbal communication
Preferred Skills
- PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX experience
- Computer vision or multimodal ML experience
- Experience with model optimisation or edge deployment
- Experience building ML infrastructure, evaluation systems, or data pipelines
We’re particularly interested in candidates who enjoy understanding how ML systems behave in production, not just training models.
