Cities are humanity's future, and our goal at Lumatic is to make them easier to love by building smartphone applications that enable mobility and delight. Specifically, our mission is to rethink the way we view maps with an approach that is tailored for smartphones from the ground up by integrating bird's eye view navigation with photos and landmarks that appeal to human curiosity, social behavior and visual cognition.
We're looking for a creative and knowledgeable software developer to work full time in our San Francisco offices leading the research and development of the algorithms that drive our back-end services. Your primary responsibilities will be to maintain and extend our existing suite of back-end API calls for multi-modal routing, directions, search, and street-view rendering. This is a position that will require the ability to work mostly independently to rapidly transform ideas and requirements into mathematically and computationally elegant solutions.
