About SafelyYou

SafelyYou’s passionate mission is to empower safer, more person‑centered care across senior living through world‑leading AI, industry‑changing hardware, and remote expert clinicians, significantly improving outcomes for residents while increasing peace of mind for families and reducing costs for communities. Originating in 2015 as the doctoral research of CEO George Netscher—and inspired by his own family's experience with Alzheimer’s disease—SafelyYou was spun out of UC Berkeley’s Artificial Intelligence Research Lab, one of the top five AI research groups in the world. Today our company solves critical challenges in senior living, from resident falls and ER visits to staffing concerns, length of stay, and NOI, helping communities focus on improved care while still reaching their financial goals. SafelyYou is one of five most innovative fall technologies referenced in the Senate Falls Report (2019), a winner of the McKnight’s Tech Partner of the Year, and has been named to Fortune’s Impact 20 list, which recognizes companies making people’s lives better through innovation.

Your Role at SafelyYou

As a Software Developer in AI, you will facilitate the development and deployment of computer vision and machine learning models to support individuals living with dementia in assisted living and memory care settings. You will productionize and deploy machine learning models, ensuring scalability, reliability, and efficiency. Utilizing your knowledge of machine learning and computer vision, you will run model development tasks such as training and hyperparameter optimization, support the codebases that run our models in both cloud and edge environments, evaluate and monitor model performance in the field as we iterate on our AI models, and support critical data tasks like dataset creation, data annotation, and active learning. Your contributions will meaningfully impact caretakers and those living with dementia by improving proactive care for residents and effectively addressing the challenges associated with their condition.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop robust, scalable computer vision algorithms and software applications
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (hardware engineers, data scientists, and product managers) to define requirements and specifications
• Develop scalable and reliable frameworks for running machine learning models in production
• Evaluate and monitor model performance in production
• Interface with our data pipelines to support data validation, data annotation, and dataset‑building efforts
• Maintain unit tests and integration tests to ensure model correctness in our critical healthcare applications
• Work collaboratively with machine learning scientists and other software engineers to deliver the best products and solutions to our customers

The Ideal Candidate

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
• 6+ years of demonstrated experience as a software developer
• 4+ years of demonstrated experience in the field of Computer Vision
• Proficiency with Python, REST API, Docker, SQL
• Proficiency with software development best practices such as encapsulation, unit testing, version control, CI/CD, etc.
• Familiarity with scientific computing frameworks such as NumPy or pandas and deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch
• Experience with image and video processing techniques, object detection, segmentation, classification, and tracking
• Familiarity with deploying and optimizing AI models on cloud or edge platforms
• Effective communication skills
• Familiarity with cloud computing platforms, especially AWS (preferred)
• Familiarity with Agile software development methodologies (preferred)
