Our remote-first tools let you control your cameras from anywhere in the world.

About the role

We are seeking an exceptional Engineering Team Lead to join us and manage a distributed group of software engineers in North America. 

As a robotics and video platform we have many exciting challenges and you'll have the chance to work on a revolutionary platform that's transforming the way people interact with cameras, and we believe, all devices. You will make a significant impact on our platform and work on a wide range of projects and technologies, expanding your skill set.

You will manage a team, align with the wider Product Development department, prioritise tasks and be involved in all stages of the SDLC. You will represent the team in planning and status meetings, providing technical guidance, whilst remaining hands-on with development and project tasks.

If you've got experience delivering complex software products and managing a team of engineers we'd love to hear from you.

Please note: this role combines both hands-on coding and team management responsibilities.

• Lead and manage a remote team of engineers in the US and Mexico in the development of a large, complex video and robotics system involving multiple components.
• Design, develop, and maintain software for the Iris platform that runs: Browser+Electron (TypeScript + React); Desktop (Go + Rust); Embedded (Go + Rust).
• Provide leadership through coaching and mentoring, and leverage best practice to maintain high standards of software quality within the team 
• Co-ordinate with stakeholders throughout the organization and act as point of contact ensuring swift communications across geographies.
• Oversee day to day operations and activities, scheduling and capacity management across releases.
• Stay up-to-date with emerging trends and technologies in the field, including having an opinion on the place of LLMs and AI agents in the development process and continuously updating this opinion as the area evolves

• Experience coaching, mentoring, and leading software engineers consistently over several years
• Demonstrated experience (or strong demonstrated interest) in one or more of the following: distributed computing; robotics; AI/ML; video products; large scale infrastructure; complex IoT systems; real-time or mission-critical systems e.g. autonomous vehicles, avionics, spacecraft, drones etc
• You are a pragmatist, not a perfectionist. You'll balance proper brakes and acceleration to engineering "refactors", adoption of new technologies, and justify that with the business needs
• Proficiency in JS/TS; Go; and Rust (or a willingness to learn Rust)
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically
• Strong communication and collaboration skills for effectively leading a remote team
• Passion for innovation and the ability to take ownership of complex projects
• High EQ and high empathy for supporting and motivating colleagues to do their best work.
• Awareness of the challenges and opportunities associated with working in a small, fast-paced startup environment
