You’ll be building the backend architecture of a high-performance distributed computer vision system based on advanced deep learning and first-of-its-kind custom sensing hardware.  Think Jarvis from Iron Man.  We’ve made a ton of progress on this, but there remains a lot to do, especially around productization of new computer vision capabilities.

Without exaggeration, this is one of the most interesting and rewarding C++ jobs I can imagine.

(No computer vision or deep learning expertise required.)
