Job Description
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 an ambitious, 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:
As a Robotics Software Engineer, you will build high-performance, real-time software that runs on edge devices under strict latency and memory constraints. This role is focused on deterministic execution, distributed system design, and low-level performance optimization. You do not need to work on deep learning research. You will build the infrastructure and runtime systems that make real-time robotics possible.
Responsibilities:
Design and implement low-latency distributed systems running on edge hardware
Write high-quality C++ or Rust code with strong attention to memory safety, determinism, and performance
Build real-time data pipelines for high-throughput sensor and video streams
Design IPC mechanisms between perception, control, and device subsystems
Optimize memory layout, CPU utilization, and concurrency patterns
Debug complex production issues involving race conditions, memory fragmentation, and performance bottlenecks
Profile systems using low-level tools to eliminate latency spikes and tail latency issues
Build reliable pub/sub and message-passing architectures under unreliable network conditions
Ensure systems remain stable under constrained compute, limited memory, and high I/O load
Skills and qualifications:
A Bachelors in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. MS or Ph.D. is a plus
3+ years of experience building systems-level or performance-critical software (experience with edge systems, robotics infrastructure, or real-time platforms highly preferred)
Strong programming skills in C++ (preferred) with experience in Rust highly valued
Deep understanding of multithreading, concurrency primitives, and lock-free data structures
Passion for building high-performance infrastructure that powers real-time robotics systems
Resilient in challenging and fast-paced environments
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to influence at all levels
Ability to work in an onsite environment
What we offer:
100% Employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and base life insurance
Flexible paid time off and 10 paid holidays
401(k) with both Traditional and Roth options
Early-stage equity in a rapidly growing company
Referral bonuses
Daily team breakfast and dinner, and regular team off-sites
The latest Apple products and unlimited tech stack (Claude Cowork, Perplexity Computer, Nooks, Clay, Instantly, etc.)Direct exposure to our AI-native GTM machinery
We're on a mission to transform a $50B+ legacy industry by bringing the power of cutting-edge multimodal LLMs and computer vision to real-world security and operations. From firearm detection to intelligent access control, our AI-native platform turns every camera and sensor into a smart system that enhances safety, efficiency, and awareness.
Founded by Ashesh Jain (ex-Lyft Level 5, PhD Cornell) and Peter Ondruska (ex-Lyft, PhD Oxford), Coram AI is backed by Battery Ventures, Mosaic, and 8VC, have raised over $30M, and were named to the CB Insights AI 100 as one of the most promising AI companies in the world. If you're excited to work on mission-critical AI that makes an impact in the real world, we’d love to meet you.
