We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can move fluidly across the stack—from performance-critical C++ and Python backend services to polished React/TypeScript frontends—and who brings the systems-level intuition to know when latency, throughput, and reliability are on the line.
You’ll build the product features, data pipelines, and APIs that turn real-time computer vision output into life-saving alerts and insights for our customers. You care as much about the user experience as you do about the code powering it.
This role is a strong fit for someone who is:
Commercially and product minded—you think about users, outcomes, and business value, not just technical correctness
A self-starter with a founder’s mentality: high ownership, high velocity, pragmatic judgment
Experienced shipping in fast-moving startup environments and comfortable with ambiguity
Equally at home in a backend pipeline and a React component, and proud of both
Motivated by mission—you want your work to have real-world impact
Build and own full-stack features across our React/TypeScript frontend and C++/Python backend, delivering polished end-to-end product experiences
Design and implement high-performance, low-latency data pipelines that process real-time safety event streams from computer vision models
Develop and maintain REST APIs and async backend services that power customer-facing dashboards and alerting workflows
Collaborate closely with product, design, and Research teams to translate safety intelligence into intuitive, actionable interfaces
Contribute to GCP-based cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines to ensure reliability and scalability across distributed customer environments
Engage directly with customers and internal stakeholders to understand problems and iterate quickly
Champion engineering quality: performance profiling, code reviews, testing, observability, and documentation
5+ years of professional software engineering experience with meaningful full-stack ownership
Proven track record at a startup or high-growth environment: you’ve worn multiple hats and delivered under real constraints
Product and commercial mindset: you understand how engineering decisions connect to business outcomes
Strong communication skills—you can collaborate cross-functionally, work with customers, and write clearly
Startup mindset: high ownership, high velocity, pragmatic judgment
BS in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field preferred
Familiarity in C++ in high-performance, low-latency, or real-time systems preferred
Familiarity with Python—REST APIs, async services, data processing pipelines preferred, not required
Familiarity with React and TypeScript preferred, not required
Experience with real-time data pipelines, event-driven architectures, or streaming systems preferred, not required
Familiarity with GCP and cloud-connected deployments preferred
