Principal Engineer - Dashcam Engineering

Hivemapper is a decentralized global map data network built by 10s of thousands of people. 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, rideshares, and real estate represent just a few of the customers consuming data today. 
APIs allow anyone to consume high-res street-level imagery and precisely extracted Map Features (speed signs, turn restrictions, etc.). New data products for HD mapping, AI fleet management, construction understanding, and more are continuing to grow or launch throughout the year.
