- Craft powerful visualization tools in order to introspect and tune algorithms.
- Profile and optimize code to achieve real-time performance deadlines.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of hands-on experience writing C++ and Python.
- Experience implementing and debugging one or more of:
- Kalman filters, factor graphs, and numerical optimization problems.
- Bundle adjustment, 3D reconstruction, and visual odometry.
- Signed distance functions, neural rendering, and gaussian splats.
- Strong software engineering competency and a penchant for writing well-tested code.
Preferred Qualifications
- Curiosity and a passion for math, physics, or geometry.
- CUDA experience is beneficial.
Benefits (subject to location and local regulations)
- Competitive salary and equity
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) retirement plan
