Job description

Join a team of innovators who are revolutionizing the construction industry

Armed withour cutting-edge augmented reality technologywe're on a mission to change the way construction projects are built, and we're looking for driven, ambitious individuals who are ready to join us on this exciting journey.

We value innovation above all else. We want those who push the boundaries of what's possible, and we're always looking for new and better ways to help our clients improve their construction projects, delivering value to our customers in ways they never thought possible.

Drive

We are always on the move, pushing ourselves to be the best we can be. We're driven by a passion for making a real difference in the world. Whether it's developing new technology, providing exceptional client service, or striving for excellence in everything we do.

Disruption

We shake things up and disrupt the status quo. We are not satisfied with the way things have always been done and we're committed to breaking down barriers and pushing the limits of what's possible and leading the way into a new era of construction technology.

Build the spatial AI behind the future of construction

At XYZ Reality , we’ve created the world’s first engineering-grade Augmented Reality solution for construction. Our technology is already being used on major construction projects around the world to help teams build more accurately, efficiently and with fewer mistakes.

Now, we’re taking that technology even further.

We’re developing the next generation of wearable AI systems, combining computer vision, localisation, BIM understanding, semantic reasoning and augmented reality to create a Construction Intelligence platform capable of understanding what has been built, where it has been built and whether it has been installed correctly.

As a Series B business entering our next phase of growth, we’re investing further in our R&D capability and building out a technology hub in Calgary, Canada.

We’re looking for a Senior AI / Computer Vision Engineer with deep expertise in 3D computer vision and spatial AI to join the team and help develop the next generation of perception technology behind our products.

What You’ll Be Doing

Develop advanced computer vision algorithms for construction scene understanding and spatial intelligence.

Design and develop semantic segmentation, object detection and instance segmentation models.

Build algorithms capable of understanding 3D environments, spatial relationships and physical geometry.

Develop automated BIM correspondence and object-matching capabilities.

Create perception systems capable of recognising installation state, construction progress and potential quality issues.

Develop algorithms using RGB, stereo, depth cameras and other wearable sensor data.

Combine AI, 3D vision, SLAM and BIM to develop geometric and spatial reasoning capabilities.

Explore emerging scene representation techniques including Gaussian Splatting and NeRFs.

Improve localisation-assisted perception and robustness across varying lighting, weather and real-world site conditions.

Design, train and evaluate large-scale deep learning models.

Develop data pipelines supporting supervised, self-supervised and semi-supervised learning.

Evaluate emerging foundation models, multimodal AI and modern computer vision techniques where they can add meaningful value.

Optimise models for embedded deployment, improving inference speed, accuracy and robustness.

Deploy and optimise models for NVIDIA Jetson platforms using technologies including TensorRT, CUDA and ONNX.

Build and improve production inference pipelines, benchmarking performance, latency and accuracy.

Contribute to technical architecture, design reviews and future R&D roadmap decisions.

Share knowledge and mentor other engineers as the team continues to grow.

What We’re Looking For

5+ years’ industrial experience in Computer Vision, with strong hands-on experience solving complex technical problems.

MSc or PhD in Computer Vision, AI, Robotics, Computer Science or a related discipline.

Deep expertise in 3D Computer Vision / Spatial AI, this is a core requirement for the role.

Strong understanding of geometry, spatial relationships and scene understanding.

Experience developing and deploying computer vision and deep learning systems in production.

Strong Python development skills and expert knowledge of PyTorch.

Experience with semantic segmentation, object detection, image understanding and modern computer vision architectures.

Experience designing and training large-scale deep learning models and working with large image datasets.

Strong mathematical foundations in machine learning and computer vision.

Ability to bridge research and production engineering, comfortable exploring emerging techniques while remaining focused on building robust, deployable products.

Strong debugging and problem-solving skills and the ability to work through complex, ambiguous technical challenges.

A collaborative approach and the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

What matters most for this role is genuine depth in 3D / spatial computer vision and the ability to apply that expertise to complex, real-world engineering problems.

We’re particularly interested in someone who is curious about where computer vision and AI are heading, but who also has the practical engineering mindset to turn emerging research into technology that works reliably outside of the lab.

What You Could Be Working On

From the outset, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to some of our highest-priority R&D initiatives, including:

Automated BIM understanding and object correspondence
