Generalist Software Engineer + Computer Vision-focused Software Engineer
Lofty is creating 3D digital copies of real physical spaces. We've built software to ingest a novel type of 3D model and make it accessible to non-technical users through a web-based interface. We've written algorithms that help segment these 3D models into individual objects, the first step towards a future that we believe will include virtual real estate tours, virtual (simple) architecture and virtual interior design.
We're an engineering-focused company (2 of our 3 founders are technical) looking to double the size of our team. We're venture-backed by some of the top seed funds in Silicon Valley & New York.
Now is the time to join if you've ever wanted to be part of a founding team, helping to set the culture of a company and the long-term architecture of our software.
A little bit about Lofty:
- We’re startup veterans; while this is our first time all together as founders, we have strong opinions about how to build a healthy company and have years of experience recognizing bad & silly decisions.
- We will build a profitable business almost immediately, enabling us to control our own fate over time.
- Some technologies we currently use include: Ruby, Rails, Python, Blender, ActionScript, Javascript, AWS, CouchDB, Meteor, Heroku, Git
We’re looking for engineers who are:
- Smart, productive and tolerant of sarcasm
- Self-motivated and curious
- Interested in building a friendly, collaborative, and transparent work environment
- Happiest when building
- Going to develop awesome, interesting, non-obvious products & features with their 20% time
If you have:
- A strong academic background in computer science OR no academic background in computer science but clear proficiency in software engineering
- Enthusiasm and experience playing around, or building with, a wide variety of 3D tools (e.g. Blender, 3dsMax, Away3D, Three.js, Maya, etc.)
- Empathy towards both enterprise and consumer customers
- A scrappy, yet thoughtful, approach to getting things done
- Solid grounding in the fundamentals of writing elegant code
For Computer Vision Focused Engineers:
- Knowledge of major methods of feature extraction, object recognition, 3D vision, tracking
- Demonstrated expertise in computer vision software tools, such as OpenCV, OpenGL, Cuda, GeForce, and graphics accelerators
- An ability to characterize and optimize the computational complexity of algorithms
And you would like to:
- Be one of the first five employees who join our team
- Create a company culture with us
- Work on software across the stack
Then you may receive an offer to join us, which would contain:
- Competitive salary and generous equity in our business
- Generous health coverage
- Equipment that you love
- Unlimited vacation time
- Hassle-free corporate policies
- A free 3D scan of your home, or another place that you cherish
