Key Exciting Responsibilities:

• Design and implement advanced C++ features for the premier point cloud extension used by global investigators and designers

• Drive innovation by developing algorithms for automated feature extraction and exploring next-generation tech like Gaussian Splatting

• Translate complex technical requirements into high-performance tools for point cloud segmentation and view management

• Collaborate directly with the Tech Lead and cross-functional teams to ensure software stability and performance as the SketchUp ecosystem evolves

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Proven professional experience in C++ development with a strong ability to debug and modify complex existing source code

• Specialized expertise in at least one key domain: Computer Vision, Image Processing, or Computer Graphics

• Strong collaborative mindset with the ability to work alongside technical leads to translate requirements into working code

Bonus Points For:

• Scripting experience with Ruby or Python, particularly within the SketchUp API

• Familiarity with Machine Learning / AI frameworks or Point Cloud data structures

• Advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in Computer Science or a related technical field
