AI Model and Software Developer
- Application Deadline: Feb. 10, 2026
- Uppsala
Do you want to work at the forefront of AI innovation and help develop world-leading solutions for food quality inspection? At Cgrain, you’ll join a small, dedicated team that combines cutting-edge image analysis and deep learning with a meaningful mission: improving food safety and sustainability across the globe.
We’re now looking for an AI Model and Software Developer who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys solving complex problems, and wants to take a key role in building and delivering powerful AI solutions to customers worldwide.
This is what you will do
In this role, you will step into a key position where you will take the lead on developing our image-based AI models, from early concept and data preparation to training, validation, and deployment in systems used by customers around the world. You will work hands-on with deep learning and image classification, using large datasets in a domain where research-level techniques have direct, practical impact.
The core software is primarily written in C++ and runs in a Linux environment. Together with our software manager, you will be responsible for improving algorithms, fixing bugs, and developing new features in a performance-critical codebase. The role also involves working with Qt for interface components, and internal tools used for data visualization and annotation.
For AI model development and experimentation, you will use Python along with libraries such as TensorFlow, OpenCV, and NumPy. Your work will bridge the gap between prototyping and production, ensuring that models developed in Python are successfully integrated into our C++-based product platform.
But your contribution doesn’t stop at coding. You will play a central role in leading technical projects and collaborating with a wide range of people: from internal engineers to academic researchers, government stakeholders, and grain quality experts across the world. This involves taking ownership of complex technical initiatives, setting technical direction, and ensuring that solutions are robust, scalable, and ready for real world use. You will act as a bridge between research, engineering, and end users, helping translate advanced methods into practical tools that create measurable value in daily operations.
The role is based in Uppsala. You will report to the managing director at Cgrain, but also work very closely with our product manager and software manager.
