What are the responsibilities and job description for the Research Engineer position at 8VC?
Matic is a tight-knit and collaborative team, singularly focused on building products our customers will cherish. We’re ultra-hardworking people committed to solving tough problems thoroughly and quickly.
At Matic we are eager to take risks and test convention. We love diving headfirst into hard problems — even if it means some failures along the way. We work smart, hard, and long (and in that order), chasing innovation and human impact. We highly value individual ownership and take meticulous pride in the work we do, knowing our efforts affect both one another and our customers.
Individuals who value curiosity and learning and who don’t shy away from hard problems thrive at Matic. If you, like us, are genuinely committed to innovation and improving the lives of others, we’d love to hear from you.
All roles are fully onsite in our Mountain View office.
We're looking for a motivated perception engineer to join us on the ground floor, with runway for huge and immediate impact.
