About Mine Vision Systems & The Opportunity
Mine Vision Systems is building the Mine Intelligence Platform for underground mining — the data foundation that turns real-time operational data into safer, more predictable, more productive mines. FaceCapture, our flagship product, is already live and trusted by the world’s top underground operators, including Agnico Eagle, Sibanye Stillwater, OceanaGold, South32, Hecla, and Coeur Mining — and we are now launching the Mine Intelligence Platform itself, extending that same face data into a full application layer across mine planning, geology, and reconciliation. Our customers see 7-figure operational impact within 12 months.
We launched FaceCapture in 2023 and are now in rapid growth — this is a genuine ground-floor opportunity to build a sales career inside a company solving one of underground mining’s most persistent problems, at the exact moment the industry is ready to solve it. Deal sizes are growing, accounts are global and multi-site, and compensation upside for top performers is real. MVS was built out of Carnegie Mellon’s robotics research to solve real problems in mining that deliver true impact — the team is growing, talented, and deeply committed to what we’re building. If you want to sell technology that makes mines safer and more productive, not another incremental SaaS feature, keep reading.
