Do you want to work with cutting-edge AI where you have real influence on product direction? As Engineering Manager - Video Analytics, you will make sure our engineers have the support, structure and coaching they need to build products that matter.\nWho is your future team?\nWe are an international team of around 15 computer vision and graphics, AI and software engineers in Sophia-Antipolis. Today the team is organized into sub-teams that form around the features and products we build. We also work hand in hand with a dedicated QA team based on the same site. Together we cover the full chain of video analytics: research, data, algorithm and product development, accuracy evaluation and quality assurance to deliver and maintain market-ready products. We work closely with the other analytics teams across Axis R&D sites as well as other software, hardware and product management teams.\nOur secret? Passion, kindness and knowledge sharing, all in a great place to live and work.\nWhat you'll do here as Engineering Manager?\nYou will lead the team and report to the Site Manager. This is a hands-on role: beyond people management, you will do project management work and own how the team plans and delivers - backlog, priorities, project coordination, and the path from innovation work to product. As AI changes the way software is built, this role will evolve too: you will help define what engineering management looks like in an AI-augmented team, and how planning, delivery and people development adapt.\nYour main tasks will be to:\nLead, inspire and develop your engineers, balancing the needs of the company with the needs of each individual.\nOwn planning and the backlog: set priorities with engineering and product stakeholders, and work with tech leads, QA and product owners.\nBe accountable for delivery: make sure the team meets its commitments and that progress is visible to stakeholders.\nDrive continuous improvement of how the team works: processes, AI-enabled tools and engineering practices.\nSupport and improve how the team is organized: provide operational support to the sub-teams and their leads and adapt our setup as features and products evolve.\nTurn innovation into product: ensure research initiatives are clearly scoped and followed up, and that the most promising ones make it efficiently into product features.\nContribute to the technical and strategic direction of our analytics area, together with the Analytics management team.\nCollaborate across sites, especially with R&D and product management in Sweden, and with business stakeholders.\nBuild the right competences through recruitment and onboarding, so the team has the skills our roadmap needs.\nHandle standard management tasks: development talks, salary reviews and team budget.\nWho are we looking for?\nYou have a strong technical interest and enjoy driving strategic and technical initiatives. You lead from a people perspective. You create a safe environment for coaching, feedback and collaboration, and you know how to combine listening with deciding. You challenge engineers constructively, help them prioritize, make clear trade-offs and keep the team focused on what matters most. You are comfortable working across sites and cultures, and you are curious about how AI is changing the way software products are built.\nWe’re looking for someone who embodies Axis’ values - openness, teamwork and collaboration - and who enjoys turning ideas into structured, high-impact results in a dynamic R&D environment.\nWe'd love to hear that you have/are:\nA master’s degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or a related engineering field - a focus on imaging or video is a plus.\nProven experience leading software engineers, as project manager, team lead or engineering manager.\n Experience working in an Agile setup, including backlog ownership and delivery planning, with strong project management skills and good knowledge of common methods and tools (e.g., Scrum, Kanban, Jira, Confluence).\nA solid software development background and a strong track record of building and shipping high-quality software products.\nA collaborative mindset and the ability to foster team spirit.\nA structured and pragmatic way of working, strong communication skills and a long-term view of the full product lifecycle.\n Fluent English and French, both required for daily collaboration and cross-site work (Swedish is a plus).\nBonus points for experience in:\nEmbedded software or camera/imaging systems.\nVideo analytics, computer vision or deep learning algorithm development.\nSoftware architecture and tooling that improve team productivity.\nWhat Axis has to offer\nJoin a global leader in network video and work with modern technologies alongside highly skilled colleagues around the world.
