About The Role

We are seeking an exceptional Senior AI Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will work on edge-deployed software and ML models that run on-site, on-device, as well as in browser and on the cloud. You will be focusing primarily on Go, TypeScript, and Python development. You will work on AI Systems that automate both the configuration of and robotically control various production elements. You will be responsible for completing large, complex projects from end to end, at times independently, working within the constraints of both embedded systems and high-resource systems with demanding, real-time, requirements.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain software for edge-deployed, cloud, and browser ML systems using Go, TypeScript, Python, and (at times) Rust.
• Design architecture, using ML models and custom software to automate novel tasks.
• Be able to work wherever the compute needs to be, in whatever environment that may be, including Desktop Environments (such as Mac, Linux, and Windows), Browser Environments (leveraging technologies like WebGPU and TypeScript), Embedded Environments, and Cloud Environments.
• Work on projects from conception to completion, ensuring high-quality deliverables.
• Work with the complexities of high quality and high performance video systems and the realities of the internet.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Backend Engineers and Frontend Engineers, to integrate AI features and communicate and work with them around the specific requirements and constraints of each feature.

About You

• You have a genuine passion for computer science and software engineering, and you enjoy working on personal projects outside of work.
• You are proactive in staying up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in the field.
• You have a diverse range of interests and can bring a unique perspective to problem-solving and innovation.
• You understand the challenges and opportunities associated with working in a small, fast-paced startup environment.
• You are comfortable with increased autonomy, wider job expectations, and the need to be flexible and adaptable in a rapidly changing environment.

The Opportunity

At Iris, we're building a lean, highly skilled team that values autonomy and innovation. As an early member of our team, you'll have the chance to:

• Work on a revolutionary platform that's transforming the way people interact with cameras, and we believe, all devices.
• Collaborate with a talented, passionate team of engineers, designers, and AI experts.
• Make a significant impact on our product and culture.
• Enjoy competitive compensation, flexible remote work, and the opportunity to build something truly innovative.
• Work on a wide range of projects and technologies, expanding your skill set.
• Experiment, innovate, and step outside your comfort zone.
• Collaborate with a supportive team that values continuous learning.
