Core Engineer - C++

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:

Our stack cuts across many technologies (front-end, backend, edge-computing, machine learning), and you will be responsible for a large part of our edge-computing stack powering Coram Point.

Responsibilities:

• Build edge applications processing vision data and communication layers for the compute-constrained edge devices

• Deploy machine learning models to production, optimizing the platform runtime for maximum performance

• Operating largely C++ code with parts of the pipeline running on GPU

• Build observability and telemetry

Skills and qualifications:

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science

• 3-8 years of experience in data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented

• Strong programming in C++ and strong understanding of Linux

• Knowledge of any other development language, including Java, Python, and Shell scripts

• Edge/IoT computing experience (we have a fleet of deployed edge computers) is a plus

• Infrastructure management experience (we use Salt) is a plus

• Monitoring experience (we use Grafana) is a plus

• Video processing & streaming experience (we use Gstreamer) is a plus

• Experience interfacing ML models (we use PyTorch) is a plus

• 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:

• Flexible paid time off and paid holidays

• Early-stage equity in a rapidly growing company

• Referral bonuses

• Regular team off-sites

• The latest Apple products and unlimited tech stack (Claude Cowork, Perplexity Computer, Nooks, Clay, Instantly, etc.)

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 Ansa Capital, Battery Ventures, Mosaic, 8VC and Up Partners, have raised over $65M, 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.
