Senior Frontend Software Engineer

At Ouster, we build sensors and tools for engineers, roboticists, and researchers, so they can make the world safer and more efficient. We've transformed LIDAR from an analog device with thousands of components to an elegant digital device powered by one chip-scale laser array and one CMOS sensor. The result is a full range of high-resolution LIDAR sensors that deliver superior imaging at a dramatically lower price. Our advanced sensor hardware and vision algorithms are used in autonomous cars, drones and many other applications. If you’re a leader, 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’s Studio solution. Studio is used to easily connect to Ouster lidar sensors, to visualize live and recorded data, recording lidar data, and to store and share lidar data. The Studio products include an Electron based desktop application and a cloud based web application both heavily utilizing React and Three.js. 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.

You will be responsible for optimizing and maintaining the 3D point cloud visualization pipeline, the UI for interacting with the applications, testing, and fixing issues when they arise.

Open to applicants in Ottawa and Toronto.
