Staff Software Engineer - Data Platform

Hivemapper is a decentralized global map data network built by 10s of thousands of mapping devices.  High-res sensors like RGB, Stereo Depth, GNSS, IMU, etc. feed sensor fusion and ML models at the edge.  Data is automatically uploaded in near realtime over LTE or WiFi.  Enterprise tech, mapping, auto, robotaxis, rideshare, and entertainment represent some of the customers consuming data today.

APIs allow anyone to consume precisely extracted Map Features, HD map data, high-res street-level imagery, construction, and driving events for AV simulation.  Tech-savvy customers develop and deploy software directly to our dashcams to get realtime data for things like change detection or visual semantic data mining.  AI Fleet management tools drive value to large fleets of vehicles.

Data Platform

Every day, we process data from millions of KM from 10s of thousands of high resolution sensors deployed around the world.  A symphony of different Sensor Fusion, ML, AI, and 3D Sensing processes are performed at the edge, feeding an AI conflation system on our processing clusters called Map AI.

The Platform Engineering team is responsible for the core distributed systems, ML infrastructure, data model abstractions, and data engine that powers our data customers, consumer products, and user-facing AI technology.

We strongly believe in engineering design principles around abstraction and programmability that allow us to move quickly with minimal manual interventions. Our work is fast-paced, collaborative, and data-driven.
