## Job description

Have you imagined yourself working in a product startup company, rather than in an outsourcing one? Ever thought to be a part of a young team that aims to solve critical problems? Eager to taste a bit of risk, but guaranteed fun? Or take on an ambitious challenge that most of your friends will advise you against? Yup, we are looking for you!

At Blume, our mission is to preserve life by building products that aim to reduce human accidents (traffic, industrial, etc.) , while also collecting and analyzing relevant data for our clients. Our first product is a system for unsignaled pedestrian crossings that aims to reduce the risk of accidents. We do this by using video cameras and AI (computer vision), while also collecting relevant data for road administrators.

We are looking for someone to help build our latest AI solutions that will serve as the core of the product that we are offering our clients. We look for a special individual who has demonstrated ability to train and deploy AI proof of concepts on a tight schedule, is a great team player, relentlessly curious, has entrepreneurial spirit and gets things done! Our unicorn candidate is part analyst, part strategist, part project manager, part builder and a huge nerd.

If you’re a self-starter with entrepreneurial spirit, great coding skills, and a get things done attitude, you will fit perfectly into our team. We’re hiring only A players who are willing to take a bit of risk and feel right at home doing so.

- Location Requirement: Must be based in Timisoara or the surrounding area.
- Work Arrangement: Hybrid position (Remote work possible, but mostly on-site in Timisoara)

Key responsibilities:

- Participating in the full lifecycle of the AI model: Data Analytics, Data Preparation, Model Training, Finetuning, as well as Deployment, Performance Monitoring and Maintenance
- Developing and adhering to best practices for developing applications and continuously contributing to team performance improvement and collaboration
- Collaborate with other developers and other teams to implement solutions effectively and in a timely manner.
- Analyze tasks and problems together with the team to give accurate predictions of development time, effort and needed technologies.
- Help expand our Computer Vision database, or sometimes annotate small datasets for PoC purposes
- Spearhead projects to add critical new technologies to our stack or to replace outdated ones
- Design and deliver simple and elegant engineering solutions that will scale as our company grows

- 1 to 3 years work experience on an AI position (depending on level of Education)
- BsC or MSc in Computer Science / Artificial Intelligence
- Proficiency in Python
- Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow
