JD — the work
About the role
Own the product layer around a wearable-AI core: real-time video pipelines from smart glasses to backend within tight latency budgets, plus the companion apps and deployment paths that let industrial customers use it without an engineer present.
What you'll do
- Ship the end-to-end experience: glasses ↔ backend ↔ companion app
- Build and optimize the real-time video/streaming pipeline
- Own backend APIs and the data layer — reliable, observable, scalable
- Build mobile/desktop clients for setup, monitoring, configuration
- Stand up safe deployment paths to hardware in the field
- Define product architecture as the team scales
What they're looking for
- 2-5 years full-stack with scalable architectural judgment
- Real-time or video-pipeline experience
- Cross-stack debugging from device to frontend
Nice to have
- Video-heavy platforms, low-latency systems, industrial exposure
