Toronto, Ontario, Canada Ouster Full time US$140,000 - US$160,000

Ouster is a NASDAQ listed company with a range of lidar sensors and software solutions built on top of those sensors. Our advanced vision algorithms and sensor hardware are used in autonomous cars, drones, robots, smart intersections, and many other applications. If you're motivated by solving big problems, we're hiring key roles across the company and need your help

 

Your role will primarily involve working on Ouster's Blue City solution with the mission of making roads safer, reducing commute times, and cutting emissions. We develop software that provides cities with the information needed to better understand and improve their transportation network.

We are seeking a dynamic and passionate software engineer who will be a key player in architecting, developing, and maintaining our backend infrastructure, APIs, services, and analytics.

Our infrastructure enables live streaming of raw lidar pointclouds efficiently to many clients, continuous streaming of data from our edge computers at the intersection to the cloud to perform analytics, and gives users access to the analytics we calculate. 

 

You will also be making roads safer by creating analytics like our near miss detection, which finds close calls between vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. This lets cities do before and after studies on infrastructure changes, see the change in rate of close calls, and even view 3D recordings of individual events to better understand issues at their intersections.
