• Ruthless Prioritization: If everything is on fire, nothing is. You will be expected to prioritize ruthlessly, cutting through distractions to focus on the most impactful product improvements.
• Customer Innovation: We are customer‑centric, not customer‑pleasing. You won’t bend to every client demand; you will let innovation drive the product forward to solve the real problems our users face.
• Efficiency: Meetings suck. We keep them short and only use them for alignment, giving you your time back to focus on real work.

You Will Be

• Developing new computer vision algorithms with founders in C/C++ and Python for solving challenging real‑world problems.
• Coming up with large‑scale data collection techniques for training Deep Neural Nets.
