Computer Vision Research Engineer - Intern

Location: San Francisco Department: Engineering Employment Type: FullTime Location Type: On-site

Position Overview

Join the team building computer vision applications for the construction trades.

Contractors spend dozens of hours per project doing takeoffs by hand. We're automating that with models that need to perform reliably on messy, real-world drawings.

As a CV/ML Engineering Intern, you'll work on real production problems alongside our ML team, not a side project. You'll own a scoped piece of work end-to-end, get hands-on mentorship from experienced engineers, and see your models reach customers who use them daily.

Responsibilities

Build and improve CV models for detection, segmentation, or OCR on construction drawings, with guidance from a mentor on the ML team

Contribute to our pipelines: data preparation, labeling workflows, training runs, and evaluation

Run experiments, measure results, and clearly communicate what worked and what didn't

Dig into real customer data to find failure modes and propose fixes

Work with fullstack and product engineers to help get your work into production

Read relevant research and test ideas that could improve our models

Desired Attributes

Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

Solid foundation in deep learning and computer vision through coursework, research, or projects

Hands-on experience training models in PyTorch (or similar), whether in class, research, a prior internship, or personal projects

Strong Python skills

Curiosity about messy, real-world data: scanned, handwritten, imperfect

High ownership: you ask good questions, then run with the answers

Bonus: experience with document AI, OCR, or vision-language models

Details

12-16 weeks, full-time, in person in the SF Bay Area

Paid internship: $55/hr

Strong interns may be considered for full-time roles

We value learning speed and follow-through. If you want to build models that customers trust with high-stakes decisions, we'd love to talk.

Comp Philosophy

We are proud to offer competitive, top-of-market compensation because we want to celebrate the dedicated people who ship amazing work and drive our success. Our individual compensation is thoughtfully tailored based on your role, experience, and contributions, alongside performance-based rewards.
