  2. Broad experience with classical and ML-based computer vision techniques, including depth estimation, 3D reconstruction, pose estimation, inpainting, and diffusion, especially in video processing contexts.
  3. Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as PyTorch, or similar, with experience in integrating and fine-tuning existing models.
  4. Strong foundation in 3D mathematics and linear algebra, with practical experience in vectorized math operations.
  5. Bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field (e.g., CS, ML, CV), with substantial industry experience.
  6. Strong desire to build and scale a startup from the early days.
