Software Engineer – Algorithms

Vimaan is looking for a hands-on Software Engineer focused on Algorithm Design to drive the development of algorithms that incorporate business logic and its interplay with various part of our technology platforms such as Deep Learning & Computer Vision models, geometric vision modules, their processing orchestration, and various databases. The role involves first principle thinking – from creating experiments, prototyping implementations and designing new algorithms to building for the largest scale. This role does not require prior knowledge of AI/ML/CV but demands robust algorithmic thinking, excellent software development skills, and a strong grasp of system design. The position will be based in San Jose, CA.
