At Intenseye, we believe protecting people at work is non-negotiable.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can move fluidly across the stack—from performance-critical C++ and Python backend services to polished React/TypeScript frontends—and who brings the systems-level intuition to know when latency, throughput, and reliability are on the line.

You’ll build the product features, data pipelines, and APIs that turn real-time computer vision output into life-saving alerts and insights for our customers. You care as much about the user experience as you do about the code powering it.

This role is a strong fit for someone who is:

• Commercially and product minded—you think about users, outcomes, and business value, not just technical correctness

• A self-starter with a founder’s mentality: high ownership, high velocity, pragmatic judgment

• Experienced shipping in fast-moving startup environments and comfortable with ambiguity

• Equally at home in a backend pipeline and a React component, and proud of both

• Motivated by mission—you want your work to have real-world impact

What You’ll Do

• Build and own full-stack features across our React/TypeScript frontend and C++/Python backend, delivering polished end-to-end product experiences

• Design and implement high-performance, low-latency data pipelines that process real-time safety event streams from computer vision models

• Develop and maintain REST APIs and async backend services that power customer-facing dashboards and alerting workflows

• Collaborate closely with product, design, and Research teams to translate safety intelligence into intuitive, actionable interfaces

• Contribute to GCP-based cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines to ensure reliability and scalability across distributed customer environments

• Engage directly with customers and internal stakeholders to understand problems and iterate quickly

• Champion engineering quality: performance profiling, code reviews, testing, observability, and documentation

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with meaningful full-stack ownership

• Proven track record at a startup or high-growth environment: you’ve worn multiple hats and delivered under real constraints

• Product and commercial mindset: you understand how engineering decisions connect to business outcomes

• Strong communication skills—you can collaborate cross-functionally, work with customers, and write clearly

• Startup mindset: high ownership, high velocity, pragmatic judgment

• BS in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field preferred

• Familiarity in C++ in high-performance, low-latency, or real-time systems preferred

• Familiarity with Python—REST APIs, async services, data processing pipelines preferred, not required

• Familiarity with React and TypeScript preferred, not required

• Experience with real-time data pipelines, event-driven architectures, or streaming systems preferred, not required

• Familiarity with GCP and cloud-connected deployments preferred
