Today, we also use AI agents as everyday companions in our work, helping us shorten feedback cycles, deepen our expertise, and explore new areas. We believe the best work comes from people who never stop learning and who care deeply about their craft.\nOur Products and Teams\nWe target businesses and stores selling footwear such as shoes, ski boots and hockey skates, as well as insoles. We develop two related products, each with its own team:\nIn-store product. We sell a 3D scanner that our business customers put in their physical retail stores and use to scan shoppers' feet. The scanner is controlled by a tablet, which shows the 3D scans and recommends footwear from the store's range.\n\nOnline product. We sell 3D scanning and recommendation web components that our business customers integrate into their online store. It allows online shoppers to scan their own feet using their own phone and get size recommendations for the footwear in that online store.\n\nWe are also exploring new product opportunities, such as 3D scanning beyond feet and footwear. You will start in our Online product team, with the chance to move into other teams over time. Whichever team you are in, you will be part of shaping our current and future products.\nAlgorithm Development at Volumental\nBoth of our products are built on top of two core algorithmic systems:\n3D foot scanning system. It takes images of a person's feet and reconstructs a 3D model. This involves areas such as camera calibration, image processing, image classification, image segmentation, object detection, parametric 3D models, numerical optimization and machine learning.\n\nFootwear recommendation system. This is based on machine learning and our ever-growing dataset of more than 30 million samples of 3D scans matched with footwear purchases. Given a shopper's unique pair of feet, we predict and recommend what footwear will fit them. This involves areas such as machine learning, probabilistic methods, model fitting, numerical optimization, training, inference, ranking, statistics, data visualization, data cleaning and outlier detection.\n\nFor both systems, we put a strong emphasis on empirical evaluation and optimization, based on data that we continuously gather from our users. We want to measure what works and what does not (yet) work in practice, and find ways to improve it.\nYou will have the chance to work on either of these systems, depending partly on your previous experience and interests and partly on the current needs of our products and users.\nOur algorithmic tech stack includes technologies like: Python, C++, Go, SQL, NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Polars, TensorFlow, Keras, JAX, Eigen, Ceres, OpenCV, Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery, Devin AI, Greptile, Claude… You will influence which tools we use, and if you find something better, we want to hear about it. We offer premium AI agent subscriptions and encourage everyone to explore, test, and share useful ways of working with AI.\n\nWe are excited about you because you:\nHave experience in both mathematical modeling and programming.\n\nAre a collaborative and kind team member.\n\nCan solve difficult problems in practice.\n\nHave experience working with datasets and evaluating different methods.\n\nHave a master's degree in computer science, engineering physics, electrical engineering, or similar.\n\nIt is a plus if you:\nHave professional experience of software engineering.\n\nHave professional experience working with algorithms in areas like:\nMachine learning\n\nComputer vision\n\nComputer graphics\n\nImage processing\n\nRobotics\n\nNumerical optimization\n\nWhat we can offer you:\nPersonal learning budget and access to coaching\n\nOpportunity to work with a great team of 15+ nationalities in our English-speaking office\n\nOccupational pension at ITP1 level\n\nFlexible Public Holidays Policy\n\nOptions Program\n\nParental pay top-up\n\nWellness allowance\n\nFlexible work policy (at least 3 days a week from our Stockholm office)\n\nThe monthly compensation range for this role in Stockholm is 50,000-77,000 SEK. Actual compensation will depend on level, experience, and skillset as assessed in the interview process.\nWe are hiring for multiple positions and welcome both junior and senior engineers from all backgrounds.
