Job description

Senior Computer Vision Engineer (full-time)

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, Hybrid (In-office 1-day a week in SFO, 4 WFH)

Compensation: 160k-250k base Equity Full Benefits

About the role:

We're looking for a Computer Vision Engineer with a strong background in software engineering and a deep understanding of 3D vision. You'll be one of the early technical hires helping us build the core systems that power our visual computing pipeline---from image capture to geometric reconstruction. This is a full-time role based in SFO with remote flexibility available for highly qualified candidates. It's ideal for someone who thrives in small teams, values ownership, and wants to have a real impact on both research and production.

What You'll Do:

• Develop and implement algorithms in 3D computer vision (SfM, SLAM, depth estimation, multi-view stereo, robotics & navigation, etc.)


• Write clean, maintainable code that bridges research and real-world performance


• Work closely with our hardware team to co-design our overall product


• Design and optimize vision pipelines for large-scale processing and efficient runtime


• Prototype quickly, iterate on ideas, and own projects from concept to deployment


• Help shape our technical roadmap and codebase as we grow

Requirements:

• Master's degree or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field


• Strong research experience in computer vision, robotics, or related areas (e.g., academic research, publications, or thesis work)


• The ability to ship production code from the get-go, specifically in Python and C


• Experience with one or more of: SfM, SLAM, or depth estimation/multi-view stereo


• Familiarity with tools like PyTorch, OpenCV, and similar libraries


• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with minimal structure

Nice to Have:

• Exposure to neural methods for SfM, SLAM, and depth estimation


• Experience integrating computer vision with custom camera systems or sensor hardware


• Familiarity with GPU acceleration


• Prior startup experience or interest in early-stage environments


• Contributions to open-source vision tools or published academic work

What we Offer:

• Meaningful equity and competitive compensation


• A collaborative and low-bureaucracy team culture


• The opportunity to work across the stack: from hardware integration to high-level vision systems


• Ownership over core technical challenges from day one


• Flexibility: we prefer on-site availability to integrate and work with the team

Location:

This role is based onsite in the beautiful San Francisco Hybrid or remote arrangements may be considered for exceptional candidates.

Benefits:

• We're excited to offer comprehensive Health, Vision, and Dental coverage, along with a 401K plan. Plus, you'll enjoy unlimited vacation time to recharge and relax!


• Compensation: Base salary ranging from 160,000 to 240,000 (USD) in addition to stock options and performance-based commission.


• Join Us: We value diversity. We are an equal opportunity employer of minorities, females, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. We don't just talk the talk; we walk the walk.
