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.
