Senior Software Engineer (Rust) - Video Processing Platform
Job Description
What You鈥檒l Help Build
Your main focus will be Stream Processor, an application responsible for computer vision and biometric processing on specialized hardware, including smart cameras and embedded devices. This application is a part of Video Processing Platform, an internal company product of your team that other teams use in their products for company clients.
The whole system is used primarily for access control, identity verification and even forensics purposes.
Why This Job Is Exciting
In this role, you will focus on the development and optimization of the Stream Processor. The primary technical challenge involves implementing robust features while maximizing performance within the constraints of limited hardware resources.
While the core of the work is in low-level systems, you will also contribute to the backend services that support the Stream Processor.
Core Responsibilities
- Stream Processor Ownership: Serve as the technical lead for the development and maintenance of the application, ensuring the efficient execution of biometric and computer vision tasks.
- Performance Optimization: Solve resource-allocation problems to achieve high throughput and low latency on embedded systems.
- Cross-Functional Development: Implement and maintain backend features to support the overall solution architecture.
Onboarding and Progression
In your first months
- Study the Stream Processor鈥檚 existing architecture, components, and internal logic.
- Become familiar with the build process and deployment pipeline for specialized hardware.
- Complete introductory tasks and bug fixes to gain a practical understanding of the codebase.
As you settle into the role
- Take responsibility for more complex features with increasing autonomy.
- Evaluate the current architecture to identify and implement performance improvements.
- Begin onboarding into the server-side environment and complete initial backend tasks.
Within your first year
- Direct the ongoing evolution of the Stream Processor.
- Collaborate on architectural decisions across both the edge and backend systems.
- Regularly contribute to backend development as part of the broader engineering team.
