About the role

  • Our high-fidelity mapping technology unlocks a new dimension of interaction-laying the foundation for AI to truly comprehend and operate within real-world environments.
  • Closely working with the R&D and product teams your work will bridge the gap between cutting-edge theory and real-world utility, turning complex geospatial data into a persistent sense of space for the next generation of AI and robotics.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and implementation of 3D reconstruction pipelines, focusing on Structure from Motion (SfM) and high-fidelity mesh generation as well as 3D gaussian splats.
  • Develop and optimize Gaussian Splatting quality algorithms and general ML code for high-performance execution on CPU and GPU.
  • Write and maintain high-performance, shader-based production code in C++ for Android and Linux environments.
  • Partner with the Research and Spatial Solutions teams to turn strategic goals into actionable plans.
  • At Niantic Spatial, we're building the future of geospatial AI.
  • Join us as we build a living model of the world that people and machines can talk to.

Requirements

  • Experience with computer graphics and C++ shader-based implementations.

Nice to have

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
  • Master's or PhD preferred.

Skills

  • Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python for production-level software development.
  • Graphics Knowledge: Experience with computer graphics and C++ shader-based implementations.

Benefits

  • As a Tech Lead for the Applied Computer Vision Algorithms Team, you'll help drive our "Reconstruct", "Understand" and "Localization" capabilities.
  • 8+ years of professional experience in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or a related field (or 6+ years with a PhD in a relevant domain).
  • Proven experience in 3D Computer Vision/ML, specifically with Structure from Motion (SfM), 3D reconstruction, and Gaussian Splatting rendering techniques.
  • Previous experience tech leading a team of computer vision engineers in a high-growth environment.
