Ninety-one people. Two offices. One mission. We hire slowly, and we expect you to read the governance framework before your first interview. Raising concerns about it won't disqualify you. We do write them down, though.
You'll push Top-1 accuracy at 80°, the angle where a face is mostly forehead. Every point you gain gets multiplied across every licensed aircraft on Earth. Very few engineers get that kind of reach. Fewer still get it without ever meeting the people it reaches.
You'll grow the world's largest collection of faces photographed from above. You'll plan capture routes over parks, markets, and stadium exits, then bring home the data. Every person you photograph contributes to something historic. They just don't know it, and keeping the operation that smooth is the job.
Milliseconds matter here. You'll hold match latency under 180 ms on hardware the size of a sandwich, so identification finishes before the subject leaves the frame. It's the purest optimization problem we know: the person below is walking away, and your code is the only thing fast enough to keep up.
Nineteen of our twenty-four launch markets have no law about what we do. You'll work at the frontier of the law, which is our favorite place, because there's nothing built there yet. You'll draft the contracts that move responsibility gently down the supply chain, and you'll watch the jurisdictions where silence still means yes. A rare chance to write the rules of an industry before anyone notices it's an industry.
You'll fly evaluation units over real towns and real crowds, and measure how well we recognize the people in them. Sixty percent travel, all expenses paid. You'll see the world. The world won't see you, because you'll be 120 meters up.
You'll sell the only product of its kind to manufacturers who already know they want it. The deck practically closes itself. Your real job is managing the silence after slide nine, where we show what it can do. The silence means yes.
You'll be the entire policy team for our transparency product. Half time, because the work is mostly waiting. You'll take notes at the quarterly working group, carry the beacon spec from draft 0.3 toward draft 0.4, and tell people we're actively exploring enforcement mechanisms, which is true, in the sense that you exist. A great role for someone patient.
