Technical Challenges

DITTO has found great product market fit with its computer vision and machine learning technology for the eyewear industry and now needs to scale and optimize to meet business demand. Server-based rendering presents challenges in scaling servers without incurring costs through over-provisioning as well as adapting to new and improved hardware. Our software development kits (SDKs) for web browsers must support a large range of devices while handling advanced features in a quickly changing domain and our iOS SDK must utilize the latest technology in the Apple ecosystem. We are also using our existing technology and IP to grow into new markets requiring talented architects and engineers to build, deploy and maintain new services and features.

Projects you might work on

Virtual Try-on captures client video, reconstructs a 3D face, fits 3D eyewear digital assets and renders 2D images creating an interactive try-on experience for the end-user
Frame Recommendation assists end-users in selecting eyewear by utilizing facial attributes, user preferences, and shopping habits data for customized recommendations.
Frame Management Tools empowers our artists to create, validate, and deploy high quality digital 3D representations of eyewear.
