Key Responsibilities

  • •Lead the design, evaluation, and deployment of our production photogrammetry pipeline — feature detection and matching, structure from motion, multi-view stereo, monocular depth estimation, mesh reconstruction, and the supporting infrastructure that makes them work at scale.
  • •Drive integration and evaluation of newer 3D reconstruction approaches — gaussian splats, foundation 3D models (MASt3R / DUSt3R-class and successors), and what comes next — where they earn their place in the pipeline.
  • •Optimize 3D systems for speed, accuracy, and robustness at production scale.
  • •Own the hardest technical investigations end-to-end — initial triage through production rollout and long-tail support.
  • •Mentor engineers on the team, then take on 1–2 direct reports in your first year and grow your scope over time as the sub-team expands.
