Samasource provides sustainable pathways out of poverty to underprivileged youth throughout Africa and Asia. We’re an award-winning nonprofitthatworkswith major Silicon Valley companies to provide dignified online work across Kenya, Uganda, Haiti and India.

In this role, you’llbuilda web-based 3D toolthat ingests LiDAR point cloud files, and allows users to draw cuboids around objects within those point clouds. Agents will be able to navigate around clouds (rotate, pan, zoom) and assign labels to the cuboids they make.

Cuboid coordinates & associated labels should be easily importable & exportable via JSON. The solution will integrate with our existing workspace tools. While you’ll be the sole developer on the 3D project, you’ll be able to lean on an engineering team of 6 full-time engineers for help with platform integration. Expansion of existing open source or proprietary tools is welcome – you’ll need to decide & make a case for any tools before starting.

This position is ideal for a senior developer with experience in JavaScript, WebGL, (ideally) point cloud manipulation, and an interest in social good. Samasource has elevated over 30,000 underprivileged workers & their dependents out of poverty. With your help, this tool will allow us tohelp manymore.

While we’re based in San Francisco, we’re very happy to consider remote applications from anyone willing to work on (roughly) US Pacific timezones.
