What we're looking for:

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer | Video Analytics with 4+ years of experience. You are a hands-on builder who has taken a vision or ML system from concept to real-world scale, and you will help the client deliver enterprise-grade video analytics as large enterprise deals bring 20x its current site count into the pipeline. This is applied vision engineering, not research. You will harden models so they ship and work reliably in thousands of messy, real-world stores.

What will you be doing?

• Ship people analytics (re-identification, cross-camera tracking, employee tagging, group detection) and drive-thru vehicle analytics for restaurant and retail clients
• Build systems that measure model performance across every new store, catch when results stop meeting standards, and refine the models
• Own vision tooling and testing infrastructure, and try out new model variants on the edge device and in the cloud
• Work across the full Elixir stack, from video ingestion and efficient inference to collecting results and alerting workflows
• Set install requirements for fulfillment partners so rollouts of 3,000+ sites go smoothly

Key Requirements

• 4+ years of software engineering experience, including startup experience (required)
• Proficiency in Elixir or a strong foundation in another functional language
• Has taken a CV or ML system from concept to real-world deployment, including evals, training pipelines, and signal refinement
• A top-decile AI power user who keeps exploring new tools; open-source work or side projects are a big plus
• US citizen or green card holder with at least 5 hours of overlap with Mountain Time
