Matterport | Senior Software Engineer, Frontend/3D | Sunnyvale / San Francisco, CA | Full-time | REMOTE 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: https://matterport.com/gallery

Some interesting facts about us:

• We host over 3,000,000 highly detailed 3D models of real places captured by our cameras, amounting to over 3PB of data.

• We serve over 90 million 3D views every month, which amounts to over 45 billion requests and 2PB of data.

The WebGL team makes our 3D viewing and editing applications for the web and VR. Core technologies include Typescript, THREE.js, WebGL and Preact. The team sits at the very end of our 3D pipeline: 3D data gets uploaded from our cameras, processed by our vision pipeline in C++, Python, and TensorFlow, before REST APIs serve the data to the WebGL and VR applications, which is what the end user sees.

If you have worked with 3D engines before, or if already know "normal" web development quite well, and want to take the next step into the world of 3D and WebGL, send me a note at hakon (at) matterport (dot) com.

Website: https://vincentxiao.com
Github: https://github.com/vince-ntx
Email: vince@vincentxiao.com
Resume: Request via email

Hi, I’m Vince, I’m looking to join a team as a Backend Software Engineer. I used to work at a mobile-gaming startup in the Bay Area where I built services in Go. In more detail, I:

• Built microservices powered by real-time sports data (NBA and League of Legends)

• Developed libraries used across all services: client SDKs, an internal web framework, data store clients, validation tools

• Rolled out testing infrastructure for writing automated tests resulting in faster development cycles and ongoing test coverage

• Improved engineering standards by actively contributing to docs and reviews related to writing idiomatic Go code, web APIs, app architecture, and testing

Sadly, the startup wasn't able to secure a Series A round due to the recent pandemic and I was a part of the layoffs. Before working in tech, I worked in finance for 2 years. Thanks for reading, email or message me on LinkedIn if you’d like to chat.

@ywt - see the link below, it helps with that Google hiring questions

https://www.warc.com/newsandopinion/opinion/the-real-scale-of-the-2020-downturn/3649

Current projections from Pivotal Research suggest Alphabet’s ad income will dip on an annual basis for the first time in the second quarter of 2020, then again in the third, before a recovery in the final three months of the year.

Does anyone know what Google's current hiring outlook is? I know they slowed hiring a few months ago. So are they still reducing headcount growth? Are they only considering really exceptional or specialized candidates?

I know several people who have applied with internal referrals (included myself) and been denied with semi-automated emails. This is surprising considering some of these people have been fast -tracked in the Google interview or have gotten offers from other competitive tech companies (FB, Amazon, etc.)

This seems odd, so I was hoping someone on TheLayoff.com could shed some light.

US jobs are now Remote Jobs making Silicon Valley far less desirable as employees are grossly overpaid in the bay area

Best of luck. Going to be some tough times. Nothing wrong with taking part time work too. After I was LR'd, went back to tech but then completely switched industries. Less money but a blast. Nothing wrong with honest work.

I think the technology tidal wave has passed. From here out, lower your wage and job expectations. Going to take a good five years to recover.
