JOB-1682

A seed-stage startup is building AI-powered wearable devices for industrial workers and needs an early engineer to take charge of everything surrounding the AI core. It is a ground-floor position for someone who enjoys owning a whole product, from device to cloud to the app a customer holds.

What you’ll own

  • The complete customer experience across wearable hardware, backend services and a companion app that works without engineering help on hand
  • The cloud half of a live video pipeline, covering ingestion, APIs and storage for footage coming off the devices
  • Backend interfaces and database foundations relied upon by the devices and AI services, built to be dependable, observable and ready for early customer load
  • A mobile and desktop application for onboarding devices, monitoring them and configuring workflows
  • The release path that gets new builds onto field hardware safely
  • Architecture and engineering habits for a team that is about to grow, choosing sensibly now to avoid rework later

Profile

  • Two to five years of professional software engineering, ideally with startup exposure
  • Has built and shipped systems from zero with real users, spanning server code, interfaces and databases plus the client people actually touch
  • Solid across a modern stack such as TypeScript, Python, React, Node, AWS or GCP, PostgreSQL and Redis
  • Able to make mature, scalable design decisions without hand-holding
  • Plus: video streaming or low-latency experience, shipped AI features, mobile app work, or familiarity with industrial settings

On-site in the San Francisco Bay Area, five days a week. Visa transfers are considered.
