That's where it starts! But we're building something much bigger: the infrastructure layer for how Europe receives deliveries.\nWe've scaled past €100M in revenue across 9 countries in under four years, with tens of millions of people using our products every month. And we're now one of the fastest growing tech scale-ups in Europe.\nWe are in search of a Senior Computer Vision / AI Engineer to join our innovative team as our new #bloqstar. In this role, you'll play a crucial role in theBloq.X team and you'll be helping us getting our hardware to see and understand the physical world of parcels and storage reliably and in real time.\nFair warning: we're scaling fast and the data and reporting capabilities are scaling with us. You'll often need to pull from multiple systems and build the picture yourself before you can analyse it. If you need everything pre-structured to do good work, this isn't the role.\nWhat you’ll be doing: \nDesign and optimize computer-vision pipelines for real-time detection, tracking, and recognition from video, with latency and robustness front of mind.\n\nPort and accelerate the performance-critical code for aarch64, using NEON/SIMD, quantization, threading, and a lot of honest profiling.\n\nBuild the temporal reasoning that turns noisy per-frame output into something you can trust.\n\nIntegrate sensor fusion to detect state and events out in the physical environment.\n\nOwn the benchmarking and ground-truth tooling, because without it there's no real way to know what works.\n\nClose the loop with firmware and product, all the way from the sensor to the operational decision.\n\nWhat you’ll bring to the table: \nDeep experience in computer vision, both the classical side and the applied side. Real OpenCV, image geometry, signal processing.\n\nA track record of running CV on the edge or on resource-constrained targets (ARM, embedded, mobile), not only on cloud GPUs.\n\nStrong Python, plus C/C++ for the paths where performance actually matters.\n\nComfort with real-time video: pipelines, synchronization, tracking, temporal reasoning.\n\nA first-principles way of thinking and a habit of measuring things. You're the kind of person who says plainly when something doesn't work.\n\nEnough seniority to take an ambiguous problem from end to end and set the technical direction for it yourself.\n\nIt would be great if you would also have:\n\nApplied deep learning for detection, recognition, or OCR when it earns its place, and the judgment to know when it doesn't.\n\nSensor fusion experience (ToF, IR, stereo, monocular depth).\n\nEmbedded Linux (Buildroot or Yocto, Wayland, systemd, fast boot), or Android kiosk and CameraX.\n\nDeploying and keeping an eye on pipelines across a fleet of devices.\n\nSome hands-on hardware experience: sensors, PCBs, industrial cameras.\n\nWhy join us?\nThe opportunity to join our Bloq.X team and play a pivotal role in Building perception that lets hardware understand the physical world while contributing to innovative solutions that redefine Bloq.it's revolution in the smart locker industry ;\n\nA dynamic and fast-paced work environment with a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning ;\n\nCompetitive salary and flexible benefits package, tailored to your experience and skills ;\n\nEligibility for performance-based bonus, tied to your results and designed to reward your impact ;\n\nWork how you work best - we offer a remote-friendly policy and flexible hours so you can stay productive and keep life balanced ;\n\nPortuguese Health Insurance including mental health ;\n\nFlexible Sports and Wellness membership covering multiple gyms and studios\n\nUnlimited days off (subject to manager approval).\n\nBloq.it is an equal opportunity employer. Hiring decisions are based on merit, competence, and qualifications and not on race, gender, nationality, or any other personal characteristic.\nIf you require any special arrangements during the recruitment process, please let us know so that we can accommodate you in the best possible way.\nReady to join the revolution?","description_format":"text","description_chars":4100,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Portugal","iso":"PT","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Robotic Software & Control Systems","Vending & Automated Retail","Courier Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T23:41:42Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":50,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.827,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":64,"expected_fill_days":66,"reasons":["conf:10","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bloq-senior-computer-vision-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bloq-senior-computer-vision-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T20:59:54Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":682,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":692190},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=692190"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbloq-senior-computer-vision-ai-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbloq-senior-computer-vision-ai-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbloq-senior-computer-vision-ai-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bloq-senior-computer-vision-ai-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbloq-senior-computer-vision-ai-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":844534}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bloq.it","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":844534},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
