Tech Lead Manager - Sensors & Embedded Applications

Hivemapper is a decentralized global mapping data network built by 10s of thousands of people. 2024 will see us 10x the number of contributors to the network.
3D edge detections, high-resolution imagery, GNSS, IMU, etc. are automatically offloaded for further offline processing and analysis (sensor fusion, 3D reconstruction, ML, human-in-the-loop, etc.). Today, different data API products allow transparent and programmatic access for anyone to consume high-resolution imagery and sensor data, precisely extracted Map Features (speed signs, turn restrictions, highway signs, etc.). New data products for traffic, construction detection, and more are starting to become available throughout the year.
Enterprise tech, mapping, robotaxis, rideshares, and real estate represent just a few of the customers consuming data today. Our work is fast-paced, collaborative, and data-driven.
