Sr. C++ Engineer

At Coram AI, we’re reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility.

You’ll be joining a small, fast-moving team that values clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person here has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected.

The role:

Coram’s platform cuts across front-end, backend, ML, and high-performance edge computing. You’ll lead major components of our edge-computing stack, ensuring Coram Point remains fast, reliable, and intelligent.

Responsibilities:

• Building edge applications processing vision data and communication layers for the compute-constrained edge devices
• Deploying machine learning models to production
• Optimizing the platform runtime for maximum performance. This is largely C code with parts of the pipeline running on GPU
• Building observability and telemetry
  
  

Qualifications:

• 3 years of experience writing production software in C and Python
• Experience building applications processing real-time data and optimizing them for latency and memory
• Experience using various profiling tools (e.g., gdb, Nsight, Valgrind, flame graph) to optimize the code
• Experience with Docker, CI / CD pipelines
• Experience in Edge/IoT computing (we have a fleet of deployed edge computers) is a plus
• Experience in infrastructure management and monitoring (we use Salt and Grafana) is a plus
• Experience in video processing & streaming (we use Gstreamer) is a plus
• Experience interfacing ML models (we use PyTorch) is a plus
• Resilient in challenging and fast-paced environments
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to influence at all levels
