Computer Vision Algorithms Developer (Cloud)

Valerann is a rapidly growing AI mobility scale-up with offices in Israel, the UK, Spain, and the US.

We are a diverse and driven team that is making the road-based transport sector safer, greener, and more equitable through our unique AI and data analytics platform.

We work with governments and the world’s largest road operators to make our roads better. Our product already serves roads in Europe, the US, Latin America, and the Middle East and helps road traffic authorities to have a good understanding of real-time traffic conditions and risks.

We do that through data, a lot of data. Our algorithm constantly ingests and processes very large sets of structured and unstructured data coming from a broad range of disparate data sources, including connected vehicles, cameras, and crowdsourcing platforms. Our know-how is in deep data fusion and analytics. Our passion is to empower our customers with the tools to use data to make our journeys safer and greener.

We have made tremendous progress to date, and we need your help to support our growth.

We are looking for an experienced Computer Vision Algorithms Developer.

This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference in a company that delivers enormous social value at scale. Join us on our mission to make every journey on every road safer and more seamless.
