1. BACK END DEVELOPER W ITH CLOUD OPS
www.bodylabs.com | 7 West 18th St., 7th Floor, New York, NY 10011 | jobs@bodylabs.com
DESCRIPTION
At Body Labs, we are building a software platform that can understand bodies, how they
move, and how people's body shape vary across the population, and across their life.
Up until now, understanding of body shapes has been done in an ad -hoc manner, such as
that of a tailor who understands how to measure so that the clothes will fit. With the arrival
of widely available 3d cameras and depth sensors, that understanding can becom e
quantitative, statistical, and automated.
To this end, Body Labs has constructed the world's most so phisticated, data-driven, digital
model of human shape and pose. Our algorithms are the result of 8 years of scientif ic
research drawing from the fields of computer vision, machine learning and robotics. We
can model accurately how individuals fit within p articular sub-populations, including
those poorly served by existing methods, such as plus -sized, petites, uncommon foot
shapes, etc.
We work closely with apparel and equipment companies to help them better understand
and visualize their target consumers' body shapes and motions, and improve their design -
to-manufacturing workflows.
We are looking for a back end developer with experience constructing high performanc e
cloud operations to join our exciting team. In that role you will be designing, building and
scaling up both our internal R&D infrastructure to monitor and improve the performanc e
of our body modeling, and our backend for high traffic customer facing API’s and
applications.
If you love problems of state-of-the-art reliability and dependability and outstanding
multi-machine performance in a fast-moving startup environment, let’s talk!
