I used to work as a machine/computer vision engineer but that was before the web was big so the image retrieval opportunities didn't exist. I worked mostly in small specialty companies doing inspection systems (sorting, metrology, controls, robotics) and then for many years at HP in manufacturing. In those positions computer vision was part of the job so it often didn't show up in the initial keyword searches. Most of the jobs required some additional skills, most often optics and some controls or automation. If you broaden your search to include robotics and automation you may find more. Also, medical imaging is fascinating and of course there's defense but I didn't want that.
