Research Engineer, AI/CV

Hosta AI is a pioneer of image-to-estimate property assessment technology, and they are seeking an AI/CV Research Engineer to lead the development of their core 3D vision and spatial intelligence capabilities. The role involves translating cutting-edge research into production-grade systems and building algorithms for precise spatial and material assessments from images.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction pipelines - building and scaling methods for accurate surface and scene reconstruction from consumer-grade photo inputs
• Develop deep learning architectures for semantic 3D understanding - including object detection, segmentation, and spatial relationship reasoning within 3D volumes
• Fuse classical 3D geometry with modern neural rendering and generative pipelines - integrating traditional geometric methods with learned representations to improve accuracy
• Translate the latest research into production-quality Python code - rapidly implementing findings from recent research into high-performance, maintainable systems
• Stay current with the research frontier and proactively apply relevant advances to Hosta’s roadmap - identifying and prototyping new techniques that could improve platform quality or scale
