Autonomy for the world. Backed by a16z.
About the role
This is a full-stack perception product-development role. You will bring depth in at least one core area such as object detection, object tracking, computer vision, image processing, sensor modeling, or sensor fusion, and work comfortably across adjacent parts of the stack. You will help turn prototypes, research, and partner-developed technology into reusable, configurable, well-tested product capabilities.
What they're looking for
- Significant professional experience developing and delivering production C++ software for robotics, autonomy, perception, real-time systems, simulation, or another complex technical product
- Deep experience in at least one relevant technical area, such as object detection, object tracking, computer vision, image processing, sensor modeling, sensor fusion, estimation, or mapping
- Demonstrated ability to work beyond a prototype or isolated algorithm and deliver maintainable software with clear interfaces, tests, diagnostics, documentation, and integration into a larger system
- Strong debugging and systems-thinking skills, including the ability to reason across algorithms, software architecture, data contracts, configuration, timing, coordinate frames, compute behavior, and sensor data
- Proficiency with Python tools for technical analysis, visualization, experimentation, or verification
- Experience collaborating across teams and disciplines, making sound technical decisions amid ambiguity, and communicating designs, risks, and review feedback clearly and constructively
