Luma is changing what people think is possible with 3D. We are building at the intersection of neural rendering, Computer Vision, Graphics, and High Performance Compute and making monumental advances in quality, every day.

• In any role here, you will work with people experts in their field, and learn a *lot*
• We build. We ship. Your work will matter to people.
• We are building a very widely usable product, and you’ll get to work on equally wide variety of challenging problems.
• We have fantastic traction from early customers, whom you’ll get to work directly with.
• We have backing of some of the best VCs in Silicon Valley, and Angels from across the industry.

Help us build the best 3D capture experience ever built! We are working on SLAM, VIO, and spatial understanding to make capturing intuitive and automatic. We are also working on bringing CV techniques to neural rendering which has proven to be immensely fruitful.

You will lead the CV efforts and help us build realtime experiences on phones, and be a core contributor to our neural rendering and ML work. This is an excellent opportunity to leverage your “traditional” CV skills and level-up in machine-learned CV working alongside some of the best ML researchers and engineers in the world.
