C++ OCR & Image Processing Specialist

DESKO PENTA Scanner 4X: ONE housing; Singapore; On-site; SGD 85,000 - 125,000; Full time

Job summary

DESKO is seeking a C++ Software Developer (m/f/d) for OCR and image processing in Singapore, full-time and office-based. You will develop production-quality C++ software for image acquisition, preprocessing, OCR, and document analysis, and collaborate with EU teams as needed.

You will optimize image processing, integrate OCR frameworks, and contribute to testing, CI, and validation. Prototyping in Python precedes robust C++ implementation, with regional APAC travel required.

Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Professional experience with modern C++.
• Hands-on OCR, image processing, or computer vision experience.
• Experience implementing and evaluating image processing or recognition pipelines.
• Sound understanding of software design, debugging, profiling, automated testing, APIs, SDKs, and system integration.
• Experience with Git-based development and Windows/Linux environments.
• Fluent written and spoken English.
• Willingness to travel within APAC.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain production-quality C++ software for image acquisition, preprocessing, OCR, document analysis, and recognition.
• Design, integrate, and improve image processing and computer vision algorithms for real-world document images.
• Evaluate OCR results, identify recognition errors, and optimize preprocessing and post-processing steps.
• Work with variations in illumination, resolution, contrast, perspective, focus, reflections, colour reproduction, and acquisition devices.
• Integrate OCR frameworks, image processing libraries, cameras, scanners, SDKs, and external systems into existing products.
• Build diagnostic tools, automated tests, and validation workflows for product quality and regression testing.
• Prepare and evaluate image datasets and define acceptance criteria for supported document types and variants.
• Investigate whether product issues originate from image acquisition, image quality, processing, recognition, configuration, or system integration.
• Contribute to software architecture, code reviews, performance optimization, debugging, and CI.
• Use Python for prototyping, data preparation, analysis, and test automation, then transfer results to C++ implementations.
• Support customers and regional partners with product integration, troubleshooting, validation, workshops, and POC activities.
• Coordinate technical topics with product management and engineering teams in Singapore and Germany, including APAC travel.
