Job Description

Dexai builds futuristic robot sous-chefs which prepare food using the same tools and in the same fashion as human chefs. Our mission is to put a robot in every kitchen and change what it means to cook.

Alfred, our robot sous-chef, combines a sleek, hygienic robot and with unique machine-learning algorithms to provide seamless and efficient automated food-preparation for our customers.

We are a team of hardworking and easygoing engineers, roboticists, and business professionals, and are looking for exceptional people who enjoy solving difficult problems and want to teach robots how to make food.

Dexai is hiring a leader for our Computer Vision effort. You will own Alfred's perception stack and build its future features.

We have:

• A team of experienced engineers and roboticists from both academia and industry, who love learning as much as they love building amazing products
• A health-department compliant robot equipped with the latest sensors and ready to apply state-of-the-art perception algorithms to better prepare food
• A flexible, distributed software stack written primarily in C++/Python
• An idea meritocracy, always looking for ways to improve our system
• An inviting office space with free snacks, team lunches, and frequent social events

You have:

• Master’s, PhD degree, or equivalent work experience in Computer Vision or a related field 
• Experience in leading teams of highly skilled engineers
• Experience in pose estimation and vision based prediction algorithms
• Love for testing, simulation and experimentation for early-stage development; but a hacker mentality to get stuff into production
• Experience writing Python and/or C++ code; you write clean, efficient code that others understand
• Good communications skills to work closely with our team as we collaboratively evolve our software stack
• A strong sense of end-to-end ownership. You love delivering the full package under a “no task is too small” mentality
• A can-do attitude, recognizing that there are dozens of reasons why something can’t be done, and wanting to find the only way it can be done

You might also have:

• Developed vision for robotics applications
• Research experience in the field of computer vision
