<p><strong><em>'Why dream in black and white when you can dream in colors?” Arthur Langerman.</em></strong></p>
<p>Langerman Diamonds was launched in Antwerp in 1965 by Arthur Langerman, who is globally recognized as being the world’s leading expert in natural color diamonds. We have the world’s most vast and fascinating selection of natural color diamonds in stock and are internationally known for our dedication to craftsmanship and to the highest standards of service excellence. </p>
<p>Langerman Diamonds is also a pioneer in data analysis: from pricing evaluation and forecast to color measures, our data lab is central to our long-term strategy. Our on-going VLAIO-funded research project is focused on extracting diamond colors accurately from simple camera images, paving the way for computer-based color analysis. </p>
<p><strong>THE POSITION</strong></p>
<p>Langerman Diamonds is setting up the team for its data lab, and we are looking for a computer scientist to contribute to our R&D projects and to the data tools that support our operations, marketing and sales teams.</p>
<p>We are looking for a candidate who:</p>
<ul><li>Holds an M.Sc. in Computer Science, or can show relevant experience working on algorithms and data analysis.</li><li>Has a strong scientific background, and is not afraid to join a research project where we tackle challenging questions, combining statistics, deep learning, and image processing.</li><li>Is familiar with Python data science stack including Jupyter, NumPy, OpenCV, Tensorflow, …</li><li>Enjoys writing code, to validate our scientific hypotheses, but also production-ready code for our data platforms used by our team and our customers. </li><li>Is fluent in English to interact with our multicultural team. </li></ul>
<p>No experience in the jewelry or diamond world is expected, first because our data approach is atypical in the industry, second as we have an amazing operations team in charge of diamond handling who will support you, and third because learning about diamond properties and asking the right questions along the way is part of the research job.</p>
<p><strong>AREAS OF WORK</strong></p>
<ul><li>VLAIO research project: we have an ongoing research plan until 2027 to which you will actively contribute, by proposing hypotheses, designing experiments (camera pictures, spectrographic measures, diamond grading, …) and validating them by analyzing the collected data, under the supervision of our CTO and the project manager.</li></ul>
<ul><li>Data tools: understand the need of indicators and data in the color diamond business, and contribute to our software development. </li></ul>
<ul><li>Lab expansion: as we are at the early days of exploiting our research results and launching the data lab to speed, you will have opportunities to be involved in the team expansion and to access leading roles as the team grows.</li></ul>
<p><strong>ESSENTIAL QUALITIES</strong></p>
<ul><li><em>Integrity:</em> The diamond business is based on trust, and you will be held to the highest standards of integrity. </li><li><em>Creativity:</em> We focus on R&D and on providing our team and customers with innovative solutions, your creativity will be greatly encouraged. </li><li><em>Self-management: </em>we make sure that everyone knows what has to be done, and then give the freedom and autonomy to make it happen. </li></ul>
<p><strong>OUR CORE VALUES</strong></p>
<ul><li><strong><em>Dream in Colors.</em></strong> We are passionate about color and our diamonds, and we communicate that passion through our unique knowledge and expertise.</li><li><strong><em>Be a Mensch</em></strong><em>.</em> We always do what is right. For the others: with humility, with the highest level of integrity, with warmth and kindness. For ourselves: with the highest level of integrity and discipline.</li><li><strong><em>Try three times</em></strong><em>.</em> We live through all events with great positivity and, just like in a video game, we try everything at least three times before throwing in the towel.</li><li><strong><em>Spring into action</em></strong><em>. </em>When duty calls, we all jump on the opportunity to make things happen. It is our role to push things forward.</li><li><strong><em>Constancy is key</em></strong><em>.</em> We perform in a way that is reliable and predictable. This gives peace of mind to our customers and partners.</li><li><strong><em>Embrace change</em></strong><em>. </em>The best way to preserve our tradition and legacy is to embrace and be fully committed to change that is beneficial to us.</li><li><strong><em>Always experiment</em></strong><em>. </em>We are explorers and researchers. We experiment with and tweak at every level of our operation, to reach perfection.</li><li><strong><em>Humble superstars</em></strong><em>. </em>We are stellar in every way but never high maintenance.</li></ul>
<p><strong>WHAT WE OFFER</strong></p>
<p>We offer you the opportunity to participate in a revolution in the diamond industry, evolving from long standing manual processes to data-based decisions. You will work with the very best in the diamond industry and get an extensive introduction to natural color diamonds.</p>
<p>The successful candidate will be offered a full-time permanent contract with a competitive salary package. </p>
<p>This position is hybrid: most of the research and programming work can be done remotely, but you will occasionally need to go to our offices in The Diamond Club in the heart of Antwerp, in particular when physical observation or manipulation of color diamonds is required. In-person meetings might occur in Brussels or Antwerp on a weekly basis, so we are looking for a Belgium-based candidate. </p>
