Check out some example spaces in our gallery: https://matterport.com/gallery The Backend Engineering Team works on our Platform and APIs. The stack is Django/Python/Postgres on AWS, and Fastly as a CDN. We're a small team right now, at 5 engineers who mostly do Django and 3 who mostly do infrastructure and developer tools. We're hiring more in this area because we're starting to get some very interesting scaling challenges: - We host over 600,000 highly detailed 3D models of real places captured by our cameras, amounting to over 600TB of data. - We serve over 15 million 3D views every month, which amounts to over 7 billion requests and 300TB of data. Our APIs are used by all parts of the company: 3D data gets uploaded from our cameras, processed by our vision pipeline in C++, Python, and TensorFlow, and consumed by our Javascript/WebGL and VR applications. The Backend team makes new additions to the API constantly, and works to ensure the APIs are secure, scale well, and are well tested.
