About Matroid

Matroid is a full-service computer vision company that has developed an end-to-end platform allowing enterprise customers to rapidly train and deploy automated visual inspection on imagery including EO, IR, X-Ray, CT, OCT, and others.

Founded in 2016 by a Stanford professor, Matroid has raised $33.5 million from NEA, Energize Ventures, and Intel Capital and has a broad range of customers and partners in manufacturing, industrial IoT, and security.

How will large language models transform computer vision? How do we bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and real-world deployment? Can computer vision answer more real-world questions — reliably, accurately, and responsibly?

These are the challenges we wrestle with every day on the Matroid product team. If you're excited to turn these questions into impactful, user-facing products, we'd love to work with you for summer 2026.

What you'll be doing — over the course of the summer, you'll:

• Design and develop a significant feature computer vision platform that is truly the first of its kind
• Improve site performance on both the client and server-side
• Incorporate user feedback to design and build a better product
• Create better visualizations for the outputs of computer vision models running on video streams and images
• Ensure that our platform features work at an ever-growing scale

How you'll be doing it

• You'll be part of a world-class, multidisciplinary engineering team, where each member identifies and prioritizes valuable and interesting new features to work on
• You will operate in a collaborative but highly autonomous environment that isn't bogged down by unnecessary meetings or project management
• You will know that almost everything you build affects real-world users, and you will set the quality standards for your work appropriately
• You will think creatively and your suggestions about new features and ideas will be considered by other members of the team
• You will have direct access to customers and be able to iterate on your features based on their feedback
• You'll be working with modern technologies like React, Node.js, MongoDB, Docker, and Kubernetes
• You will learn a lot along the way, diving into new technologies and the world of computer vision both on your own and during frequent company tech talks

What you'll be doing

• Developing a significant feature or features for Matroid's computer vision platform
• Measuring and evaluating technology and design tradeoffs and alternatives
• Iteratively scoping, designing, and building your project while getting feedback and mentorship from experienced team members

How you'll be doing it

• You will work on a standalone feature with autonomy, yet also have the guidance and mentorship of senior team members
• You'll be working with a modern technology stack
• You will be part of a fast-moving, world-class, multidisciplinary engineering team at a Silicon Valley startup
• You will learn a lot along the way, diving into new technologies and the world of computer vision both on your own and during frequent company tech talks.

What you bring to the table

• Working towards a degree in CS or equivalent
• Significant experience working web applications on either via previous work experience or personal projects
• Passion for and attention to detail when working on user-facing features
• Expertise with JavaScript / TypeScript and React
• Willingness and eligibility for security clearance up to TS/SCI

Bonus points if...

• You've built browser based features on top of machine learning technologies
• Have experience with: Redux, Node.js, Express.js
• Have worked with video or graphics in the browser

What we offer in return

• Competitive pay and compensation.
• The chance to constantly work on stimulating intellectual challenges.
• Gym membership reimbursement.
• Free lunch, healthy drinks, and snacks every day.
• A flexible schedule that leaves time for all of your other interests.
• Resources to learn about the cutting edge of software engineering and computer vision.
• You'll be working at our new office in downtown Palo Alto, just a five-minute walk from the Caltrain station.
