We’re looking for a curious, research-minded engineer to join our team and work on exploratory projects at the intersection of AI and vision technology.

Active badge holder on Salesforce Trailhead.
AI-assisted testing using tools like Claude, Cursor, or Codex for test case generation and automation scripting.
