The Centre for Vision, Speech, and Signal Processing is seeking to recruit a Research Software Engineer to support major research projects in generative AI, computer vision and LLM development. You will join an established research group within a highly rated research department, with an excellent computing and software infrastructure for first class research, modern facilities and close links with industry. Surrey’s Institute for People-Centred AI builds on 40 years of work into foundational AI at the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) which is ranked 1st in the UK for Computer Vision and in the top-5 for both Audio-Visual AI and Robotics (CS Rankings, 2025). The post sits within Professor Bowden’s sign language research group at CVSSP, which leads a portfolio of major collaborative projects developing AI for sign languages. These include SignGPT, a five-year EPSRC Programme Grant with the University of Oxford and UCL building tools to translate automatically between spoken language and photo-realistic sign language video in both directions; UMCS, a UK and Japan collaboration developing real-time sign language translation in everyday conversation; and a Google.org-funded project reducing the cost of sign language translation through AI. The Research Software Engineer will support and contributing to related research across the group, working on data management, front end demonstration software, AI model training, and inference and prediction, and on the construction and maintenance of a visual language toolkit that supports the research collaboration and its dissemination activities. The applicant should preferably have a PhD in a related area, but experience of software development in a research environment is key. Previous experience of sign language recognition and translation would be advantageous but not essential. The candidate should have good analytical and programming skills and experience of computer vision and machine learning; previous experience of real-time systems development in Python, PyTorch and deep learning would be desirable. The post will also involve full-stack software development to turn research models into usable tools and demonstrators, so experience of back-end development (for example REST/API services, databases and containerised deployment) and of building web front-ends to expose models and data is highly desirable. Applicants are expected to be proactive, to support others and to be self-motivated. The post is full time and offered for 3 years in the first instance. Salary will be in the range £37,694 to £56,535 per annum, on Levels 4 and 5. The work will involve Deaf people and users of British Sign Language (BSL), and through wider collaborative links, users of other international sign languages. Knowledge of sign language and awareness of Deaf culture would be advantageous. Deaf candidates with suitable experience would be welcome to apply.
