Job description

Who We Are

the company is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, privacy-sensitive AI-powered platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management.

We’ve got serious momentum in the market: more than 30,000 customers (including 100+ of the Fortune 500), a $5.8B valuation, more than $1 billion in annualized bookings, and backing from CapitalG, Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Next47 and more. Physical AI is one of the most consequential technology shifts of our time, and the company is at the center of it.

You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform’s impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million the company devices are deployed across 170+ countries.

About the Role

We are actively looking for a talented software engineer to join the Infrastructure team with a focus on improving Engineering Productivity, specifically our Bazel and C++ infrastructure. Example projects include optimizing Bazel, extending and onboarding services to Bazel, improving C++ support through Bazel and our entire infrastructure. This will have a cross-company impact allowing engineers to quickly iterate locally on microservices and firmware.

We are committed to a thriving in-office culture. This role requires you to be onsite at our HQ in San Mateo, CA (with flexibility to work from home).

What You'll Do
  • Make every engineer’s day-to-day productive and enjoyable!
  • Define engineering tooling roadmap
  • Own Kubernetes deployment and development tooling
  • Build various software and hardware testing frameworks
  • Provide technical support for engineers on other teams
  • Help with growing the team
