Job description

Ambient.ai is a unified, AI-powered physical security platform helping the world’s leading enterprises reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, and gain critical insights. Seven of the top 10 U.S. technology companies, along with multiple Fortune 500 organizations, rely on Ambient.ai to modernize their physical security infrastructure.

Our platform uses advanced AI and computer vision to seamlessly integrate with existing camera and sensor systems, enabling real-time monitoring and proactive threat detection. By reducing false alarms by over 95%, Ambient.ai allows security teams to focus on real threats and prevent incidents before they occur.

Founded in 2017 and backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and Allegion Ventures, Ambient.ai is a Series B company on a mission to make every security incident preventable.

Our engineering, product, design, and marketing teams work from our Redwood City office 3 days per week. All other Bay Area employees join on Fridays to stay connected and close out the week together.
