Junior Machine Learning Engineer

We are on a mission to transform 1M+ Convenience Retail checkout points with AI computer vision. The retail sector struggles with labour shortage and is keen to improve the customer experience. Deligo provides the most simple, cost efficient and reliable AI self-checkout checkout solution on the market today. If this sounds interesting please get in touch!

About Deligo:
Deligo is an AI-first company: machine learning is not just an afterthought for us, but it’s at the heart of our product. We build the hardware that solves the customer problem, this allows us to develop a unique and proprietary dataset and build models that drive high-value functionality. Currently we are building visual product recognition for cafeterias and convenience stores. One of the challenges we face is that previously unseen items routinely appear during operation, thus we need to go beyond conventional ML techniques.

We have all been there. Standing in line to pay is the most frustrating part of any retail experience. We make checkout fast and magical by harnessing our passion for technology. We speed up the checkout process by using AI and computer vision to instantly recognise food and retail items. We have saved 18.6 years of standing in line for customers so far and we are not stopping here.

Today 150+ Deligo Kiosks are deployed across Europe, our ambition is to scale globally and build solutions for other retail use cases. We are a repeat founding team with backing from a leading European VC and high profile industry angels.
