Senior Software Engineer, Computer Vision

The Opportunity

Clarium builds computer vision pipelines that extract structured data from clinical images under real-world conditions. This role owns the end-to-end pipeline: object detection, identification, reconciliation, and data extraction from images captured under variable lighting, camera angles, and workflow conditions with zero tolerance for errors.

You’ll Own

• Design and build production-ready CV pipelines that combine state-of-the-art object detection models, multimodal LLM/LVM APIs, and barcode/label decoding to produce structured, auditable inventory data that clinical and supply chain workflows depend on.
• Train or fine-tune detection models on custom medical supply datasets.
• Build and own dataset strategy - leverage augmentation and synthetic data generation to improve the training and testing datasets when data doesn’t exist.
• Monitor and improve pipeline accuracy — instrument field-level metrics, diagnose failure modes, and systematically improve precision/recall through model iteration and preprocessing optimization.
• Design persistence schemas and audit data models that make every extraction independently reviewable.
• Maintain and extend the async Python backend services that surface pipeline results to downstream clinical workflows.

Required

• 5+ years experience in computer vision and object detection
• Hands-on experience training and fine-tuning detection models
• Experience building OCR pipelines for label/packaging text extraction
• Strong Python skills with experience in OpenCV, image preprocessing, and augmentation techniques
• Production experience with multimodal LLM APIs for structured data extraction and validation
• Backend engineering: FastAPI, Pydantic v2, PostgreSQL, async Python

Nice to Have

• OCR pipelines for label/packaging text extraction
• Experience with barcode/QR/UDI decoding and preprocessing strategies that improve decode rates
• MLOps experience: Docker, CI/CD, model versioning, A/B testing
• Workflow orchestration tools (Temporal, Prefect, Airflow)
• Healthcare or supply chain domain experience
• Familiarity with medical device identification standards (UDI, GS1)

Skills & Tools

• Python, PyTorch
• FastAPI
• Pydantic v2
• PostgreSQL
• Multimodal LLM APIs
• Image preprocessing
• Barcode / QR decoding, OCR pipelines
