PARGO is a Danish tech company building AI-powered tools that help drivers understand parking rules and avoid unnecessary parking fines. Parking regulations are complex, fragmented, and often unclear. We use computer vision, OCR, and rule-based reasoning to turn real-world parking signs and regulations into clear, actionable guidance for end-users.

Our ambition is simple, yet ambitious: make parking rules understandable, reliable, and legally correct - anywhere in Denmark.

About the role

We’re looking for an AI/ML Engineer with a strong interest in Computer Vision and OCR to help build and evolve PARGO’s parking-sign interpretation platform. You’ll be a core part of the team and have real influence on how we design, build, and improve our AI-driven systems, from early ideas to production.

We don’t expect you to know everything on day one; curiosity, ownership, and a willingness to learn matter most.

You'll be working on

You’ll primarily work on improving PARGO’s AI models for analyzing parking signs from real-world photos:

• Fine-tuning YOLO models for better detection and classification of parking signs and symbols

• Fine-tuning OCR models to accurately extract Danish parking text, including time ranges and special characters

• Analyzing model errors and improving training data, annotation strategy, preprocessing, and robustness

• Working with real production data and seeing your improvements directly impact end-users

You’ll work hands-on with production AI systems, not toy examples.

What we are looking for

• Some experience with Python and AI / machine-learning systems

• Hands-on interest in computer vision, especially YOLO or similar models

• Interest in OCR and text recognition, preferably PaddleOCR, and improving accuracy on real-world data

• Interest in datasets and model quality, including annotation strategy, data validation, scoring, and evaluation

• A pragmatic, curious mindset - you enjoy iterating on models and improving them based on real failure cases

As a person, you:

• Are honest and value your time (and our time)

• Are passionate about building robust systems that help real users

• Are comfortable learning new tools and curious about emerging technologies

• Are eager to learn and grow - there’s plenty of opportunity for that at PARGO

What's in it for you

• Be part of shaping PARGO’s core AI models as the product moves from early stage toward wider real-world use

• Work with real user data and real-world images, not synthetic datasets

• See your improvements directly help users understand parking rules and avoid fines

• Flexible hours and a high degree of autonomy

• Opportunity to continue in a longer-term or full-time role as PARGO grows

You’ll join PARGO at a stage where core technical decisions still matter. We work pragmatically and iteratively, test, learn, improve, with open communication and fast feedback loops.

Along the way, you’ll gain hands-on experience with production-grade computer vision and OCR systems, data quality challenges, and what it takes to make AI work reliably in the real world.
