Computer Vision Geek

About the role

You are a computer vision/image processing/AI aficionado. Each morning as you brew your coffee, you subconsciously equalize a mental histogram of all the unique flavors in your JavaBeans which you quantize into buckets, then edge-detect your way, still sleepy-eyed to the washroom, then mentally solve for a vector of lowest-cost commute to your dreary office. When you arrive, you avoid passing your boss by calling your mental face-detection and gait-recognition whilst you are in your own world, with noise-canceling headphones, shutting your mind from the world's chaos as you find escape in Chopin, Coltrane or Cantopop…or any other flavors of C… You speak a bunch of languages, but really, we don't care. Like a TensorFlow model, you are constantly curious and always learning new stuff, finding patterns, repeats, short-cuts, and even new languages and techniques.

You will definitely score deep respect if you speak Japanese and Russian, play 3 musical instruments, are a photography enthusiast, are a soccer-mom with 2 kids, with pink-hair, tats+piercings and don't need to sleep…ok, it's highly unlikely we will find all the above in a single freak, but hey, prove us wrong!

Responsibilities

You will be our key go-to person/team for computer vision, and AI related image processing, classification work. You will be fully immersed in product discussions and help propose methods to gain a deeper understanding of images that consumers capture to help choose the right highlights which will be shortlisted for a photobook or collage. Our customers rely on our algorithms to radically speed up their workflow in various verticals, including school-yearbooks, sports photography, wedding studios, safaris, theme parks and plain old regular iPhone photography on a trip to wherever… We always hire smart people we can mold, so various levels are being considered for this position.
