Full Job Description
What You Will Do

Your north star will be production and delivering value to our customers.

In this role you will leverage the Vinci framework to work on a variety of novel applications. Experiment with temporal propagation schemas, both in the classical and learned sense. You will use pre-existing data generation infrastructure to generate and curate training and verification samples. You will take modest iterative steps to prove out new utility and iterate hand in hand with customers to harden features.

You will work with Physicists, AI researchers, Software Engineers and Computational Geometry experts. You will work with a team to carry early prototypes through iteration and hardening all the way to customer use.
