We're hiring remotely in the U.S. and Canada at this time due to timezone convenience and administration. We have been building a remote culture from day 1 prior to COVID-19. Exceptions apply for exceptional people.
At Playground, we make it easy to create or edit graphics like a pro without being one.
Over the next 10 years we plan to build a Large Vision Model that can exceed current human capability. It should accomplish challenging tasks ranging from instructing an AI to make subtle changes to images, accelerating a manufacturing process, and assisting with autonomy of robots. We plan to start by accomplishing difficult tasks with images first.
Our mission is to push the boundaries of what computers can do with vision.
