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 Studio, with the mission of making it easy to view, share, manage and work with Ouster lidar data. We develop a web and desktop application that allows users to create their own organization where they can invite other members, upload lidar data, view their organization’s lidar data, view sample data from Ouster, and share data with Ouster’s support team. You will be responsible for working with stakeholders on clarifying product requirements, designing and implementing solutions for those requirements. You are someone who works well in a team and independently.
We are seeking a self-driven, dynamic and passionate software engineer who will be a key player in improving our architecture, developing, and maintaining our backend infrastructure, APIs, and creating new services that are useful for our customers and internal engineers.
