Original posting

Men* wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success. Matterport is looking for a vision engineer to help build an amazing 3D scanning system. *We are an equal opportunity company, women are strongly encouraged to apply. We are in the YC W12 batch. We are located in Mountain View. http://matterport.com/jobs/ email us at jobs@matterport.com Software Engineer (Computer Vision & Algorithms focus): You’ll be working on our 3D alignment and mesh reconstruction algorithms, improving robustness and quality. You’ll need to get creative and invent new algorithms, not just apply known techniques. There are still big, interesting problems to solve that are central to our product. Unlike much of computer science, computer vision is about messy data and uncertain results, so you’ll need to work well with that. Past experience in computer vision or a related field such as machine learning is preferable. Experience with high-performance code (optimization, parallelization, CUDA) is a plus. Our codebase is primarily in C++.
