[Hiring] AI & Computer Vision Software Engineer @Plain Concepts

Role Description

We are expanding our development teams. Although we don’t care much about titles, we call this role AI & Computer Vision Software Engineer. We’re looking for a Software Engineer with interest in AI and Computer Vision to join our Innovation team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building real solutions in environments with uncertainty, where the path is not always clear from the beginning. You’ll work with experienced engineers on projects that combine AI, Computer Vision and software engineering, with a strong focus on turning emerging tech into real, usable products through an Agile, iterative approach. You will have room to grow fast: we value curiosity, ownership, and the ability to learn new tools and paradigms quickly, especially when moving from prototype to production-grade software.

What you will do (responsibilities)

• Learn to solve ambiguous technical problems
• Work on innovation projects where requirements evolve and exploration is part of the job
• Help transform early-stage ideas and immature technology into solutions that can run reliably in real environments
• Break down problems into small experiments and iteratively validate solutions
• Help implement prototypes and Proofs of Concept (PoCs) and evolve them into robust, maintainable software
• Learn how to define metrics and testing strategies to evaluate results
• Explore and apply new techniques
• Stay up to date with emerging approaches in AI and Computer Vision
• Try new models, tools or techniques and evaluate their usefulness in real scenarios
• Combine different ideas (classical CV + deep learning, multiple models in a pipeline, etc.)
• Identify when something is “cool” versus when it’s “useful”, and help close that gap
• Build solid software foundations
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-structured code
• Follow good engineering practices: modularity, readability, testing basics
• Contribute to code reviews and learn from feedback
• Collaborate in an Agile environment: planning, teamwork and continuous improvement
• Help productionize solutions: packaging, reproducibility, basic performance considerations, and stability over time
• Share and grow with the team
• Participate in internal knowledge-sharing sessions and discussions
• Support documentation and small demos of what you learn/build
• Optionally contribute to content like short articles, demos, or talks as you grow
• Help document technical decisions so experiments can become reusable building blocks

Mindset & soft skills

• You are resolutive: you like figuring things out and you don’t get blocked easily
• You are curious and open-minded, willing to explore alternatives
• You can learn fast and accept feedback as a tool to improve
• You enjoy teamwork and communicating progress clearly
• You understand that “innovation” also means delivering: making trade-offs, iterating fast, and improving quality until it is usable

Technical background

• Experience with Python for development (professional or solid personal projects)
• Basic understanding of software engineering fundamentals:
• clean code practices
• modular design
• version control (Git)
• Initial experience in AI / Machine Learning and Computer Vision and PyTorch.
• Familiarity with common CV tasks (detection, segmentation, classification)
• Motivation to work beyond notebooks and help build real applications that can be shipped and maintained

Communication

• Comfortable working in English in an international environment
• Able to explain what you tried, what worked, and what didn’t

Nice to have (but not mandatory)

• Experience with 3D-related concepts (point clouds, NeRF, Gaussian Splatting)
• Basic experience with cloud environments (Azure/AWS/GCP)
• Interest in MLOps basics (packaging, evaluation, simple deployment workflows)
• Interest in creating demos, writing, or speaking about technical topics
• Experience taking prototypes into production (even small ones), or contributing to internal tools that other people actually use

Benefits

• Salary determined by the market and your experience 🤑
• Flexible schedule 35 Hours / Week 😎 (no salary reduction).
• Fully remote work (optional) 🌍
• Flexible compensation (restaurant, transport, and childcare) ✌
• Medical and dental insurance (completely free of charge for the employee) 🚑
• Individual budget for training and free Microsoft certifications 📚
• English lessons (1 hour/week) 🗽
• Birthday day off 🌴🥳
• Monthly bonus for electricity and Internet expenses at home 💻
• Discount on gym plan and sports activities 🔝
• Plain Camp (annual team-building event) 🎪
• ➕ The pleasure of always working with the latest technological tools!

Selection Process

For this team, we have 5 steps, but not so big ones. We'll have one phonescreen (Talent team), 30' meeting to know you deeply with one member of the team, 30' to share ideas about practical case, meeting with 2 technical colleagues to present the final case study and last interview to meet the rest of the team.
