Job Details

Hivemapper is a decentralized global map data network built by tens of thousands of mapping devices. High-res sensors like RGB, stereo depth, GNSS, IMU, and more feed sensor fusion and ML models at the edge. Data is uploaded in near real-time over LTE or WiFi. APIs allow consumption of map features, HD map data, high-res street-level imagery, construction, and driving events for AV simulation. AI fleet management tools drive value to large fleets of vehicles.

Edge Mapping: In 2023, we launched a GPU-powered 3D reconstruction pipeline to identify and extract map features from imagery and sensor data. As we scale this pipeline globally, moving processing to hardware speeds up throughput and improves data quality. We began shipping our Bee device in January 2025, equipped with high-resolution global shutter stereo depth, 4K RGB imagery, advanced GNSS/IMU, ML hardware acceleration, and high-speed LTE.

We are looking for engineers with experience across sensor-based mapping stacks and mapping systems to help accelerate migration and evolution of ML, sensor fusion, and HD map data processing on our devices.

• Evolve and architect efficient userspace software systems dealing with rich, high-frequency data in real time
• Build high-level C++, Python, and TypeScript embedded applications and sensor fusion pipelines, and computer vision systems
• Use a data-driven approach to iterate quickly with near-realtime performance monitoring across 10s of thousands of devices worldwide
• Write high-quality software that takes advantage of hardware paths when possible
• Optimize ML vision models to run on our hardware efficiently

• Experience with embedded sensor solutions
• Solid understanding of map data sensor platforms—RGB, global shutter stereo depth, GNSS, IMUs, etc.
• Hands-on Linux OS development experience for embedded systems (Yocto)
• Proficiency in C or C++ and at least one of Python, TypeScript, Node.js, OpenVINO, or Go

• Medical, dental and vision benefits plus FSA
• Family leave

• Seniority level: Mid-Senior level
• Employment type: Full-time
• Job function: Engineering and Information Technology
• Industries: Technology, Information and Internet
