Engineering Manager, Computer Vision
About The Position
Hey, we're Glacier! A Series A startup based in San Francisco tackling one of the world's most pressing problems: trash. Did you know that in the US, we send over half of our recyclables to the landfill? We're working to fix that. In doing so, we'll also be reducing carbon emissions, energy consumption, and depletion of natural resources. Glacier builds custom sorting robots designed to sort apart recyclables as well as AI-powered business analytics that enable recyclers to superpower their plants and improve our society's circularity. From major CPG companies like Colgate and Amazon to municipal recycling facilities, our clients trust us to turn recycling data into actionable insights. Our technology has been recognized as one of TIME's Best Inventions and featured in a TIME documentary, TechCrunch, Fortune, and CBS. We're looking for a strong technical leader to own Glacier's Computer Vision strategy and lead our Computer Vision engineering team. This is a hands-on leadership role managing a distributed team across the US and internationally. Computer Vision is the foundation of our products and plays a pivotal role in the company's success. This role reports directly to the co-founder and CTO.
