You're gonna take too much flak for that. Rewrite it and then bury the body in a large field and pretend it never happened. :)

I think is a reference... to an ad written in the same way. but it was to recruite people to go the first expedition that was going to cross the south pole... I think they all died by the way.

Ah, fascinating. Thanks!
Matterport is looking for a vision engineer to help build an amazing 3D scanning system.
*We are an equal opportunity company, women are strongly encouraged to apply.
We are in the YC W12 batch. We are located in Mountain View. http://matterport.com/jobs/ email us at [email protected]
Software Engineer (Computer Vision & Algorithms focus):
You’ll be working on our 3D alignment and mesh reconstruction algorithms, improving robustness and quality. You’ll need to get creative and invent new algorithms, not just apply known techniques. There are still big, interesting problems to solve that are central to our product.
Unlike much of computer science, computer vision is about messy data and uncertain results, so you’ll need to work well with that. Past experience in computer vision or a related field such as machine learning is preferable. Experience with high-performance code (optimization, parallelization, CUDA) is a plus. Our codebase is primarily in C++.
