Sr Engineer, Software Backend

Monk provides visual expertise through Computer Vision and Deep Learning algorithms. Today, our AI model is able to detect and classify damage on any vehicle, with photos taken from a smartphone. The company is already working with international leading players, such as our parent company ACV Auctions (USA), but also CAT Logistics (Europe), Getaround (France), Autobiz (Europe) or Hgreg (Canada). We are building a world-class API‑based damage detection system.
