POC Engineer

We were established in 2014 to revolutionize the way information about the built environment is created and consumed. We leverage geospatial imagery, computer vision, and machine learning to instantly and automatically extract proprietary property data. This data forms the basis from which we offer comprehensive data and analytics solutions delivered instantaneously via API.

We establish a new category of property data & analytics, offering immediacy, coverage, and scale comparable to public record data, but with the currency and types of features which typically require in-person inspection. Our team is comprised of entrepreneurs with cutting edge successes in computer vision, real estate, and risk analysis. We are backed by leading venture capital firms, and based in Mountain View, CA and Munich, Germany.

We have established are continue to build a great team culture, and this is something which is a priority.

Talent is critical, but best when tempered with humility
Self-motivation leads to the best outcomes
Open, direct communication is a sign of respect
Teamwork drives success
Having fun together is an important part of the job
