About You And How You Succeed At Safari AI
You're excited about building a product and creating a market that hasn't been done before. You have a strong bias toward action when you are stuck but are not afraid to ask for help when you need to. You're a high agency contributor, eager to test new ways of doing things and take advantage of the freedom and culture an early stage startup can afford you. You want to lead the company's engagement with category leaders in a variety of industries, solving some of their biggest challenges.

What you'll do

  • Build and scale our ML data live streaming analytics platform (Python)
  • Lead and contribute to greenfield internal projects to extend and optimize existing real time processing needs (Python and/or Rust)
  • Design and implement reliability backend services (Python)

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years software experience in Python
  • Proficiency with live data streaming and real-time analytics, (Kafka/Pulsar/InfluxDB)
  • Experience in AWS cloud infrastructure and services
  • Experience migrating services to Rust for improved performance and reliability
  • Experience with Kubernetes and tools for orchestration

What we provide

  • Opportunity to shape an early-stage, mission-driven startup and revolutionize how Enterprises use Computer Vision AI
  • Professional growth at a fast-growing, venture-funded start up with a proven founder and leadership team
  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity for early team members
  • Unlimited vacation days
  • Generous health benefits (Health, Vision, Dental)
  • 401k for US team members
  • Brand new, top of the line hardware and whatever else you need to help you win

Note: We are not considering any recruiters or agency. Please do not contact.

Why bet on Computer Vision and Safari AI? 

  1. Huge opportunity hiding in plain sight: leveraging already-installed cameras to automate and real-time action on operational data
  2. Already the market leader in enterprise CV by working with industry leaders with billions in revenue
  3. Large chasm between customer knowledge and market availability, i.e. customers don't know what is available in the market...yet.
  4. Early leader in computer vision; everyone is small and unbranded (i.e. no Amazon or Google in the room to compete with)
  5. Very modular, allowing Safari AI and its customers to invent whole new use cases on a regular basis
  6. Developed the tech and data pipelines over three years and invested several million dollars and is now ready to scale
