Company Overview
Construction is one of the largest industries in the world, but it is also one of the least technologically innovative spaces. Conducting fast and accurate cost estimates is a massive pain point because of the tedious nature of takeoffs (measuring & counting materials needed from the drawings). Bobyard automates the construction takeoff process with CV and NLP models to make cost estimates 10x faster while eliminating mistakes.
We are a lean startup backed by some of the best VCs in the world: Primary and Pear. Almost all of the work lies ahead of us. We are excited to create next-gen software for the built world!
Position Overview
Bobyard solves non-trivial CV problems in order to automate takeoffs for contractors. We can save them dozens of hours for each project easily. This requires a complex system of models that produce better than human results.
You will have very high autonomy in designing, executing, and iterating on products. We are a startup, and we move fast. You will be the world’s leading expert on the products you build. We look for world-class engineers who have both a vision for the product but also the ability to go heads down and produce exceptional code.
You will be responsible for developing state-of-the-art CV algorithms and models for segmentation, object detection, OCR, one-shot learning, and PDF vector reading techniques. You will take the products you work on from 0 to 1.
Desired Attributes
- Learning Rate: Ability to adapt and learn new technologies and frameworks swiftly
- Passion: Startups are not easy, this is not a cushy SWE job at Google
- Incredibly proud of the code you write and advocate for high standards
Benefits
- Competitive salary plus equity options (target $150k - $180k base + equity)
- Opportunity to collaborate with a dynamic, driven team
- Build a massive company
This is a full-time & in-person role in the SF Bay Area. Learning rate and dedication are vital factors. If you can prove that you can execute on the products our customers are waiting for at the speed and quality the market demands (or if you can prove that you will acquire the ability to do so fast enough), we would love to work with you.
