Our stack cuts across many technologies (front-end, backend, edge-computing, machine

learning), and you will be responsible for a large part of our edge-computing stack powering

Coram Point.

Responsibilities:

- Build edge applications processing vision data and communication layers for the compute-constrained edge devices

- Deploy machine learning models to production, optimizing the platform runtime for maximum performance

- Operating largely C++ code with parts of the pipeline running on GPU

- Build observability and telemetry

Skills and qualifications:

- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science

- 3-8 years of experience in data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented

- Strong programming in C++ and strong understanding of Linux

- Knowledge of any other development language, including Java, Python, and Shell scripts

- Edge/IoT computing experience (we have a fleet of deployed edge computers) is a plus

- Infrastructure management experience (we use Salt) is a plus

- Monitoring experience (we use Grafana) is a plus

- Video processing & streaming experience (we use Gstreamer) is a plus

- Experience interfacing ML models (we use PyTorch) is a plus

- Resilient in challenging and fast-paced environments
