Benaco | full stack | 100% REMOTE (global) | https://benaco.com https://benaco.com Founder-owned, bootstrapped Computer Vision startup. Benaco creates high-quality 3D models out of photo and laser data. We bring photorealistic digital twins into browsers to save our customers on-site visits, from real estate to hazardous environments such as chemistry parks and nuclear waste cleanup sites. Examples: https://benaco.com/go/example-real-estate https://benaco.com/go/example-real-estate https://benaco.com/go/example-church https://benaco.com/go/example-church https://benaco.com/go/example-industrial https://benaco.com/go/example-industrial Tasks: * Computer Vision + Graphics, photogrammetry * Implementing academic papers * Browser frontend, web server * Low-level performance optimisations, dev tooling * Distributed systems, reliability engineering, server ops * B2B sales, customer interaction For this role we're especially looking for a good communicator who enjoys talking to our customers and helps us build the features they need. Tech: Haskell, C++, CUDA, Python with types TypeScript, React, WebGL, Linux, Postgres, Ceph, Nix We're a small, high-efficiency company. We value operational excellence and low overheads.

Please mention you came from HN so we know where it's worth posting :)

I wish I was more fitted for the job. I find your company/product fascinating. Best of luck with your search!

  > I really want to see career path of someone who covers most of the above There are plenty of people who followed this sort of path: grad school (some sort of rendering/imaging focus, especially) -> industry job implementing modern algorithms back end -> focus on web based data presentation Along the way you learn a stack something like this.

  I tick a number of these boxes! I did a graduate degree in computer science and then went into the game industry for over a decade. Along the way, I met a few people with eclectic backgrounds and interests who have many of the skills listed. I can't speak for larger studios, but small-to-mid sized studios can provide grounds to build some of these skills.

  Yeah what who knows Haskell, C++, Python, TS, WebGL, React and CUDA (already an impressive list) then just as a hobbyist uses hyper converged storage systems runs databases and uses nix? I hope covering all of this isn’t a serious expectation, should probably reword if it’s not

    We do not require to have experience with all tech listed, but the more of it one is familiar with, the faster onboarding will be. For example, our last hire knew Haskell/Python/TS/React well, and got into C++ in our project. And of course the list helps people decide if they would enjoy working with our stack.

    i have plenty of experience with c++, python (occasionally with types), linux, postgres, implementing web servers, implementing browser frontends, low-level performance optimization, implementing distributed systems, implementing academic papers, and customer interaction; i've dabbled in typescript, react, and haskell, and last week i was pair-programming with a friend who was kind of porting a raytracer i wrote to cuda. another friend of mine spent the summer doing research on the ceph team, and another one runs nix and ceph at home and has been experimenting with rolling nix out across his company's fleet. i've tried guix myself but not nix so i don't think this is such a crazy list; their stack is nearly all like super mainstream technology, except haskell, and haskell is hardly some unknown language

    That would be me too. Though for that laundry list, I'd expect commensurate pay too. Used Ceph on a studio wide build system, built a couple of plugins for it. Don't really like Nix and use it under protest.
