About Matroid

Matroid is a full-service computer vision company that has developed an end-to-end platform allowing enterprise customers to rapidly train and deploy automated visual inspection on imagery including EO, IR, X-Ray, CT, OCT, and others.

At Matroid, you will have the opportunity to work directly withfounder and CEO, Reza Zadeh, and a world-class engineering team. You’llimmediately take on high-impact projects, building features like visualsearch, semantic segmentation, custom object tracking, modelinterpretability, video summarization, and the infrastructure requiredto run complex machine learning workloads.

Headquartered in Palo Alto and founded in 2016 by a StanfordProfessor, Matroid has raised $33.5 million from NEA, Energize Ventures,and Intel Capital.

We’re looking for a talented full-stack JavaScript engineer to designand develop novel features for our computer vision platform. Creating aproduct in a new space requires creativity and technical acuity, and aspart of the Matroid product team, you’ll shape the functionality andfeel of our platform, breaking new ground while working in anengineering culture that fosters employee empowerment. Over time, yourrole on the team will evolve with your growing interests and skill set.

You’ll be working at our new office in downtown Palo Alto, just a five-minute walk from the Caltrain station.

What you’ll be doing

• Design and develop features for a computer vision platform that is truly the first of its kind.
• Identify new technologies and best practices for our growing engineering team.
• Improve site performance on both the client and server-side.
• Incorporate user feedback to design and build a better product.
• Create better visualizations for the outputs of computer vision models running on video streams and images.
• Ensure that our platform features work at an ever-growing scale.

How you’ll be doing it

• You’ll be part of a world-class, multidisciplinary engineeringteam, where each member identifies and prioritizes valuable andinteresting new features to work on.
• You will operate in acollaborative but highly autonomous environment that isn’t bogged downby unnecessary meetings or project management.
• You will knowthat almost everything you build affects real-world users, and you willset the quality standards for your work appropriately.
• You will think creatively and your suggestions about new features and ideas will be considered by other members of the team.
• You will have direct access to customers and be able to iterate on your features based on their feedback.
• You’ll be working with modern technologies like React, Node.js, MongoDB, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Youwill learn a lot along the way, diving into new technologies and theworld of computer vision both on your own and during frequent companytech talks.

What you’ll bring to the table

• You have a strong handle on modern JavaScript development, even if you don’t know every single JS quirk.
• You are a self-starter who can prioritize what to work on and fully design, build, and write tests for new features.
• You’recomfortable moving across the stack: on a typical day, you mightoptimize a database query and tweak a user interface to be moreintuitive.
• You have an eye for design and an understanding of what can make a user interface more intuitive and delightful.
• Youcan show that you’re smart, analytical, and a fast learner. Sometimesyou’ll work on things using unfamiliar languages or technologies, butyou know you can handle that.
• There aren’t any strictrequirements for your background, but you’re technical. Maybe you have aCS (or similar) degree, or you’re a boot camp grad with a STEMbackground and strong portfolio, or you might be self-taught with a fewyears of industry experience.
• It’s a plus if you have experiencein areas that might be relevant to a startup working on computervision: data visualization, scaling web applications, DevOps, etc…
• Willingness and eligibility for security clearance up to TS/SCI

What we offer in return

• Competitive pay and equity.
• The chance to constantly work on stimulating intellectual challenges.
• Gym membership reimbursement.
• Free lunch, snacks, and caffeine every day.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance with 100% paid premiums.
