Matterport | Senior Backend Engineer | Sunnyvale / San Francisco, CA | Full-time | ONSITE, VISA
Matterport makes a 3D camera and web platform that allows users to easily capture and display 3D models of physical spaces. Check out some example spaces in our gallery: <a href="
The Backend Engineering Team works on our Platform and APIs. The stack is Django/Python/Postgres on AWS, and Fastly as a CDN. We're a small team right now, at 5 engineers who mostly do Django and 3 who mostly do infrastructure and developer tools.
We're hiring more in this area because we're starting to get some very interesting scaling challenges:
- We host over 600,000 highly detailed 3D models of real places captured by our cameras, amounting to over 600TB of data.
- We serve over 15 million 3D views every month, which amounts to over 7 billion requests and 300TB of data.
Our APIs are used by all parts of the company: 3D data gets uploaded from our cameras, processed by our vision pipeline in C++, Python, and TensorFlow, and consumed by our Javascript/WebGL and VR applications. The Backend team makes new additions to the API constantly, and works to ensure the APIs are secure, scale well, and are well tested.
