Implementation Engineer

WHO WE ARE

Our mission is to make the world programmable. Sight is one of the key ways we understand the world, and soon this will be true for the software we use, too.

We’re building the tools, community, and resources needed to make the world programmable with artificial intelligence. The company simplifies building and using computer vision models. Today, over 1M+ developers, including those from half the Fortune 100, use the company’s machine learning open source and hosted tools. That includes counting cells [link for members] to accelerate cancer research, improving construction site safety [link for members] digitizing floor plans [link for members] preserving coral reef populations [link for members] guiding drone flight [link for members] and much more [link for members]

The company is supported by great customers and investors, having raised over 63 million from Y Combinator, Google Ventures, Craft Ventures, Sam Altman, Lachy Groom, amongst other leading software investors.

The companyers are passionate builders who value ownership, accountability, and a bias toward action. We're curious, hands-on with new tech, and prefer showing our work over talking about it. Many of us have a founder mindset and thrive in our high-autonomy environment.

Building successful relationships with our customers -- many of whom are engineers -- as well as showcasing what the the company product is capable of is a key component of the role, so you will leverage both your engineering background and user-facing mindset to be successful.

Because our customers use computer vision in so many different industries (accelerating cancer research, improving manufacturing processes, enabling automated checkout, and so much more), your workday will always include an engaging variety of challenges. You’ll be an integral part of making our customers successful, being responsible for the project management, deployment, and adoption of the company’s computer vision solutions within their products.
