Job description

SHIRO AI is a cognitive intelligence platform that unifies fragmented multimodal ophthalmic data into clear, actionable, and traceable insights—empowering clinicians to make faster, more confident decisions and spend more time with patients, not data.

What you will do:

• Design and fine-tune object detection models for medical imaging reports
• Build deterministic CV + OCR pipelines
• Optimize frame extraction and preprocessing workflows
• Improve model inference speed and memory efficiency
• Implement fallback logic for robust extraction
• Contribute to backend integration (FastAPI-based deployment)

Who we are looking for:

• A builder, not just a researcher
• Comfortable working in ambiguity
• Obsessed with performance (accuracy + latency)
• Analytical and systematic in debugging
• Willing to take ownership of a module end-to-end
• Excited by real-world deployment, not just experiments

Requirements:

Technical Skills

• Strong Python programming skills
• Experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Solid understanding of Computer Vision fundamentals (segmentation, object detection, preprocessing)
• Hands-on experience with YOLO or similar detection frameworks
• Experience with OpenCV
• Familiarity with OCR pipelines (Tesseract, PaddleOCR, or similar)
• Experience working with structured outputs (JSON, APIs)

Nice to have:

• Experience with medical imaging (DICOM)
• Knowledge of model optimization (quantization, ONNX, inference tuning)
• Experience reducing model latency in CPU environments
• Familiarity with FastAPI or backend integration
• Git-based collaborative development experience

Education & Availability

• MSc student or final-year BSc in AI, Computer Science, Data Science, or related field
• Available for 4-6 months
• Minimum 3-4 days per week
• Based in the Netherlands (preferred)

What we offer you:

• Work on real clinical AI systems deployed in hospital environments
• Direct ownership of production-level AI modules
• Exposure to multimodal AI (Computer Vision + structured reasoning + ontology)
• Experience building healthcare AI under real-world constraints
• Close mentorship from experienced healthcare AI founders
• Fast learning curve in a high-impact startup environment
• Flexible working structure (hybrid setup)
• Internship compensation (as per agreement)
• Potential full-time opportunity after successful completion
• You won’t just "assist." You will build.
