Senior Software Engineer, Algorithms

Blackstone Talent Group, an award-winning technology consulting and talent agency is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Algorithms to join our Client's team.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Perception team, you will be prototyping and developing algorithms, aligning with Clients mission and long-term roadmap for business expansion. This team investigates using AI, computer vision, and GPS data for vehicles, and deployment environments, expeditiously translating preliminary concepts into functional prototypes. You will construct comprehensive end-to-end perception and robotics systems designed to operate on real-world hardware and capable of scaling into Hayden’s core product platform.

This is a C++ software engineering generalist position emphasizing algorithms, robotics, and systems expertise. You will function with a substantial degree of ownership, navigating complexity to meticulously design, implement, and fortify solutions that judiciously balance rapid experimentation with sustained maintainability.

• Design, implement, and take ownership of prototype perception algorithms and systems with the potential to transition into production-grade solutions.
• Deliver robust, thoroughly tested, and maintainable C++ code tailored for edge and robotics platforms.
• Construct and iteratively refine real-time perception pipelines, encompassing detection, tracking, and sensor fusion methodologies.
• Adapt, refine, and integrate Machine Learning (ML) and Computer Vision (CV) models for novel, Hayden-specific applications.
• Drive technical decision-making in ambiguous problem spaces, effectively balancing the speed required for prototyping with the requirements for production readiness.
• Collaborate closely with the Product team and cross-functional Engineering departments.
• Contribute to shared infrastructure, tooling, and architectural patterns as algorithmic initiatives mature into foundational products.

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a closely related discipline. A PhD is considered advantageous.
• Substantial background in a minimum of one of the following domains: robotics, state estimation, computer vision, or applied machine learning.
• Senior-level industrial experience in the delivery of intricate, production-grade software systems.
• Demonstrated proficiency in modern C++, coupled with experience in real-time systems.
• Experience in the construction and ownership of end-to-end systems, rather than merely isolated components.
• Capability to operate effectively in ambiguous and rapidly evolving environments.
• Proven capacity to collaborate constructively within a developing engineering organization
