Full Job Description
What you'll be doing
  • Design and develop features for a computer vision platform that is truly the first of its kind.
  • Identify new technologies and best practices for our growing engineering team.
  • Improve site performance on both the client and server-side.
  • Incorporate user feedback to design and build a better product.
  • Create better visualizations for the outputs of computer vision models running on video streams and images.
  • Ensure that our platform features work at an ever-growing scale.

How you'll be doing it

  • You'll be part of a world-class, multidisciplinary engineering team, where each member identifies and prioritizes valuable and interesting new features to work on.
  • You will operate in a collaborative but highly autonomous environment that isn't bogged down by unnecessary meetings or project management.
  • You will know that almost everything you build affects real-world users, and you will set the quality standards for your work appropriately.
  • You will think creatively and your suggestions about new features and ideas will be considered by other members of the team.
  • You will have direct access to customers and be able to iterate on your features based on their feedback.
  • You'll be working with modern technologies like React, Node.js, MongoDB, Docker, and Kubernetes.
  • You will learn a lot along the way, diving into new technologies and the world of computer vision both on your own and during frequent company tech talks.

What you'll bring to the table

  • You have a strong handle on modern JavaScript development, even if you don't know every single JS quirk.
  • You are a self-starter who can prioritize what to work on and fully design, build, and write tests for new features.
  • You're comfortable moving across the stack: on a typical day, you might optimize a database query and tweak a user interface to be more intuitive.
  • You have an eye for design and an understanding of what can make a user interface more intuitive and delightful.
  • You can show that you're smart, analytical, and a fast learner. Sometimes you'll work on things using unfamiliar languages or technologies, but you know you can handle that.
  • There aren't any strict requirements for your background, but you're technical. Maybe you have a CS (or similar) degree, or you're a boot camp grad with a STEM background and strong portfolio, or you might be self-taught with a few years of industry experience.
  • It's a plus if you have experience in areas that might be relevant to a startup working on computer vision: data visualization, scaling web applications, DevOps, etc...

What we offer in return

  • Competitive pay and equity.
  • The chance to constantly work on stimulating intellectual challenges.
  • Gym membership reimbursement.
  • Free lunch, snacks, and caffeine every day.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance with 100% paid premiums.
  • A flexible schedule that leaves time for all of your other interests.
  • A budget for whatever hardware will make you most effective.
  • Resources to learn about the cutting edge of software engineering and computer vision.
  • You'll be working at our new office in downtown Palo Alto, just a five-minute walk from the Caltrain station.
