NOW HIRING: Technical Project Manager

PyImageSearch has grown tremendously over the past five years. What was once a small blog on OpenCV is now the go-to place to learn Computer Vision (CV) and Deep Learning (DL).

We have authored 350+ free tutorials on CV/DL, with a new tutorial publishing every Monday.

Currently, we offer four educational books/courses, with new CV/DL educational products releasing each year.

When PyImageSearch started, it was just me — and we only had one product. Our book and course offerings have expanded significantly since then, not only in quantity, but quality as well.

In order to manage updates to our existing content, as well as develop new content, we need a Technical Project Manager to provide expert oversight of the end-to-end project development process.
