Video Processing and 3D Computer Vision Engineer/Scientist

Compass RE/kognition team makes it easy for customers to add text, image and video analysis to real estate applications with no machine learning expertise required. With Compass RE/kognition, you can enrich listing description, tag rooms and listings, identify objects and scenes in text, image and video and provide immersive virtual tour experiences from physical or creative data sources. 

RE/kognition’s goal is to disruptively improve customers' experience and business by creating a text, image and video-analysis platform for real estate applications. Team’s tenets:

  1. We develop text, image and video-analysis solutions for agents to leverage to grow their business. Agents and their clients can easily understand the problems we are solving, and will share our conviction that these solutions will help them win and serve more clients.
  2. We embrace radical simplicity. We strive to deliver very simple user experiences that enable agents to adopt with as little effort as possible. We also prefer simple and scalable solutions to complex ones.
  3. We don’t reinvent the wheel. We take pains to benchmark and understand state of the art open source and cloud AI solutions. We use this learning to achieve speed and quality in our work, and leverage existing tools when it makes sense to  #MoveFast on behalf of our customers.
  4. We do rapid prototyping to test ideas with customers. We believe that low cost mockups, hackathons and quick prototypes are invaluable for learning what works. We are not afraid of failed prototypes or ideas that didn’t work when tested with customers, because we believe that even a few amazing wins from our process of rapid iteration will more than compensate for early failures.  
  5. We build APIs that are productized, platformized and reusable. We build and own  well-designed APIs that can be easily integrated by many Compass applications, and follow the best practices of API design, documentation and support.
