Job Description

Vision

Hivemapper is modern mapping infrastructure. Our machine vision powered mapping tools help forward thinking teams build smarter maps. Maps that see changes. Maps that understand. Some of the world’s most important organizations trust Hivemapper to build their maps that can see.

Who We Are

With just under 20 employees, we are proud to have multiple PhD’s, and alum from top schools like Stanford, UC Berkeley, Cal Poly, lending their expertise to our product and business. Hivemapper is a team of mathematicians, designers, programmers, and scientists from well-known companies like Palantir, Mapbox, and Yahoo, working together to create a modern mapping platform fed by a network of videos. Our work is fast-paced, collaborative, and cross-disciplinary as we focus on solving truly challenging problems. Our team and tech are growing rapidly, we encourage skill development and learning new things, and we love to promote leaders from within.

What We Need

As we improve our technologies in speed, accuracy, information content, flexibility, and many other ways, we only have room for smart, ambitious people with at least some entrepreneurial blood running through their veins.

We are looking for a Senior level engineer that combines a demonstrated fluency in flexible mathematical and algorithmic thinking with strong technical implementation skills. Hivemapper’s distributed 3D mapping technology relies on our proprietary georegistration technology - the ability to accurately and automatically localize 3D data to its real world location. You will take charge of advancing these algorithmic capabilities to reach greater levels of accuracy, efficiency, and adaptability to new types of data. This work requires that you thrive on solving algorithmic challenges with an eye towards advancing the frontiers of mapping technology.

What You'll Do

Lead advancements in Hivemapper’s core georegistration technology capabilities
Solve cutting edge algorithmic R&D problems with immediate product applications
Combine data and techniques from airborne and ground-based mapping.
Collaborate with a team of experts in AI/ML, computer vision, computational geometry, high performance computing, and more.

What We're Looking For

PhD or equivalent experience in Applied Mathematics or a related field, e.g., Physics
Strong programming ability
Robust experience in mathematics and algorithms
Strong spatial reasoning skills
