• Contribute to improving development workflows, tooling, and engineering processes.

• Bachelor's orMaster's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field or comparable practical experience.
• 3+ years of professional experience developing software using C++, or demonstrated exceptional performance in computer science competitions such as informatics olympiads or competitive programming.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to learn quickly in a fast-moving technical environment.
• Experience working with Python and NumPy.
• Solid understanding of linear algebra and computer vision concepts.
• Experience using common software development tools such as Git (GitHub), JIRA, or similar issue tracking systems.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

Nice to Have:

• Experience working with OpenCV.
• Familiarity with modern C++ standards (C++17 or newer).
• Experience with high-performance computing techniques (vectorized computing, multithreaded computing)
• Experience with libraries and technologies such asCMake, Jenkins, docker, Blender, web development, serverless orWebAssembly.
• Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.
• Knowledge of systems-level concepts such as CPU architecture, OS design, or low-level optimization.
• Participated in competitive programming, algorithm competitions, or informatics olympiads.
• Android/iOS development experience.

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience & qualifications.
• A comprehensive extended benefits package.
• A great team environment and resources, supporting you to do the best work of your life and providing unlimited career growth potential.
• Highly autonomous and entrepreneurial environment.
• On going support for learning development so you can continue to master your craft.
