Contract

Duration: 5+ Months Contract (Possible Extension)

Job Description:

• Client is seeking a hands-on software engineer to join our CTO App Engineering team, supporting the development of an on-device intelligent document and label recognition capability for Android enterprise mobile computers. The solution combines computer vision-based template matching, OCR, and barcode decoding to extract and validate structured data from labels and documents in frontline workflows such as warehouse receiving and delivery confirmation.

• You will work directly with the project's lead engineer to evolve an early-stage prototype into a productizable blueprint: restructuring the codebase, migrating to client's latest AI SDK, building out authoring and runtime Android applications, and developing test and benchmarking infrastructure for vision/OCR accuracy.

• This role suits an engineer who thinks outside the box — someone comfortable with ambiguity, who can prototype creative approaches to real-world vision problems (imperfect print quality, inconsistent label formats, field normalization) rather than only implementing to spec.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain Android applications (Kotlin/Java) for template authoring and frontline data extraction

• Integrate and migrate computer vision, OCR, and barcode decoding capabilities using client's AI/vision SDKs

• Refactor a prototype codebase into a modular, maintainable architecture (multi-module Gradle project with clean SDK abstraction layers)

• Build automated test harnesses and benchmarking tools to validate recognition accuracy, matching performance, and regression behavior across SDK versions

• Implement template management features: zone/field definition UI, auto-detection of text and barcode elements, template profiles, and conflict detection

• Prototype and evaluate approaches to challenging extraction problems, such as vendor-specific field naming variations and barcode-vs-OCR trade-offs

• Contribute to on-device performance profiling (latency, memory) for real-time and single-shot capture workflows

• Document code, integration interfaces, and test results for internal engineering consumption.

Required Skills:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience

• Strong Android application development skills (Kotlin and/or Java), including camera APIs, multi-module project structure, and modern Android tooling

• Working knowledge of computer vision and OCR concepts: image preprocessing, feature/template matching, text detection and recognition, barcode symbologies

• Experience integrating third-party or platform AI/ML SDKs into mobile applications

• Familiarity with modern AI tools and the ability to apply them pragmatically in engineering workflows (e.g., AI-assisted development, LLM-based post-processing of extracted data)

• Solid software engineering fundamentals: Git, code review, unit/integration testing, CI concepts

• Strong problem-solving skills and demonstrated ability to work independently on loosely defined problems

Desired Skills:

• Experience with on-device ML inference on Android (e.g., TensorFlow Lite, Qualcomm AI stack, NPU/DSP acceleration)

• Background in enterprise mobility, data capture, warehouse/logistics, or scanning solutions

• Experience with OpenCV or similar vision libraries

• Experience building developer-facing samples, blueprints, or reference applications

• Familiarity with structured data formats and schema design (JSON), and with device provisioning via MDM

Education:

• Bachelors Degree
