CV/AI Engineer - Remote

Overview

We are a pre-seed femtech startup building pHera: an ultra-precise colorimetric vaginal pH test that can be read with a smartphone using computer vision and AI for accuracy and personalisation. The system would detect colorimetric images and predict with a high level of accuracy discrete pH values, delivering lab-quality diagnostic precision to women and doctors - anytime, anywhere!

In Short

• Build computer vision models and ensure reliability across diverse phones and lighting.
• Personalize results using Bayesian hierarchies and time-series methods to learn individual baselines and detect meaningful changes.
• Pair model outputs with concise, evidence-backed explanations using LLMs with retrieval and citation grounding.
• Establish evaluation, monitoring, and privacy-minded data workflows suitable for a regulated context.

Requirements

• Based in Berlin is preferred but not required.
• Eager to work in an early-stage, science-driven, female health startup.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, self-directed, and proactive.

Benefits

• Hybrid work environment with office space in Berlin or remote EU-time-zone.
• A competitive salary for 4 months with the possibility of extension.
• pHera is closing the gender health gap! Most existing vaginal pH test strips are analog, low-resolution, visually subjective, and poorly suited for women’s health applications.
• Doctors need fast, reliable tools to help with complicated diagnoses.
• Women deserve clarity, not guesswork when managing their vaginal health from home.
• A high-resolution pH test can catch imbalances early, making it easier to monitor issues like bacterial vaginosis, recurring vaginal infections, sexually transmitted infections, ovulation, PCOS, and menopause.
• By building pHera, you would be building a tool that would advance women's health.
