R&D Engineers - spontaneous applications

We are regularly looking for passionate R&D Engineers (flexible working time and partial remote work possible) and created for this purpose this generic position to collect your spontaneous application. The positions can be based in one of our development offices: Lausanne (CH), Berlin (DE), Madrid (SP), or Bucharest (RO). If a position that matches your profile and expertise becomes available, we will contact you!

From designing and implementing computer vision algorithms to processing of 3D point clouds and meshes, to implementing Machine Learning algorithms, you will work on a variety of highly technical subjects, bridging the gap between academic research and thousands of daily users. You have a passion for clean and efficient code as an important part of this role is making algorithms accessible to various product teams by providing high quality APIs and delivering proof of concept integration into products.

You are passionate about your field and follow up closely the latest developments and scientific literature and are able to link these to product needs. You are able to put together proof-of-concepts in high level languages to demonstrate your ideas internally. When it’s time to bring the code to production you strive to keep your code simple (readable and testable), performant (scalable) and robust. You understand the importance of testing and your definition of “done” contains unit tests complemented by functional and performance tests. You enjoy sharing good practices, pair programming and learning from others and are passionate about your craft.
