OUR MISSION

Make cities more responsive, so they are safer, healthier, and more equitable for the people who live in them.

Numina makes a hardware and software platform that uses computer vision to help urban planners and municipal governments design better (safer) streets and public places. We sense bicycle, pedestrian, and other street traffic, and convert this data into real-time intelligence — without surveillance — to enable all sorts of partners in automation, autonomy, and development in the public right-of-way. We are looking for passionate people who would like to join us as we pursue our shared vision of more responsive cities.

As our Embedded Software Engineer, you will lead software and system development for current and future Numina Sensors. You will work closely with our Hardware, Computer Vision, and Backend engineers to help maintain the current Numina sensor system, develop new features and products, and scale our network of globally deployed sensors. You will report to our Engineering Manager. As part of your role, you will:

• Lead development of the Computer Vision pipeline embedded on Numina Sensors.

• Write and deploy performant, robust, and reliable code to our network of sensors deployed around the globe.

• Help run experiments and tune the performance and cost of Numina’s core Computer Vision systems.

• Develop the architecture, code, processes, and system for the next generation of Numina sensors.

WHO YOU ARE:

You have 4+ years of professional embedded software engineering experience. Like us, you value creativity, curiosity, and intellectual honesty, and you are committed to solving problems with us together as a team. Your desire to have a huge impact motivates you to join a small, incredibly productive team and do extraordinary things. You have the following skills and competencies:
