Position Summary:
We are building a new Physical AI product line at Netradyne a vision-based platform that monitors activity across physical environments and surfaces safety risks in real time. This is founding-team work and were hiring generalists who are excited about building something new.
A Founding Product Engineer owns problems end-to-end from an edge device through the cloud platform to the surface a safety manager touches and moves fluidly between them depending on what the product needs that week. Youll naturally lean toward platform/infrastructure or toward product/experience based on your strengths but youre expected to have working range across both not a hard boundary between backend team and frontend team. You talk to customers directly turn what you hear into what gets built and take it the rest of the way to shipped.
Essential Functions:
Platform & infrastructure (lean here if thats your strength):
- Cloud ingestion and storage real-time event streaming time-series and event storage the data model for safety events and metrics.
- Multi-tenancy identity and access control multiple customers multiple sites per customer role-based access control authentication and SSO.
- Infrastructure and DevOps AWS containerized deployments CI/CD and monitoring across the edge and cloud stack.
Product & experience (lean here if thats your strength):
- Operations dashboard real-time event feed alert detail with video clips site map zone-violation tracking risk summaries.
- Compliance analytics trend reporting time-based comparisons exportable reports for safety and operational record-keeping.
- Operator scoring and coaching workflow worker/operator safety scoring coaching queue session tracking and completion.
Shared regardless of lean:
- Agent layer / agentic features the orchestration layer and conversational/agentic surfaces over safety data (alert triage auto-coaching drafts summarization) built on managed services or internal modules where they fit.
- Rapid iteration with real customers ship fast instrument usage work directly in the field run pilots alongside live deployments.
Qualifications:
What were looking for:
- Systems thinking you can reason about a problem end-to-end from device to cloud to the person using it and make sound calls with incomplete information.
- Dynamic range you move between an infra problem a product/UX problem and a customer conversation within the same week without needing to be re-anchored each time. You dont default to the one lane youre most comfortable in.
- Bias to action full ownership given an ambiguous problem you scope it build it ship it and measure it without waiting to be told the next step.
- Direct customer experience youve worked directly with customers or end users to shape what gets built not just built to a spec handed down.
Baseline technical range:
- Full-stack comfort: a modern backend language (Go Python Java) and depending on lean either cloud infrastructure (AWS containers CI/CD distributed/event-driven systems) or modern frontend (TypeScript/JavaScript) and data-dense real-time UI (dashboards event feeds video timelines).
- Experience designing or working within multi-tenant systems with role-based access control.
- Fluent with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code Codex Cursor) as part of your day-to-day workflow.
- 7 years of software engineering experience. Wed rather have someone with less tenure and real range than more tenure in one narrow lane.
Nice to have:
- Agent orchestration or workflow engines (e.g. Temporal); managed identity platforms (WorkOS Auth0 Clerk).
- Data pipelines at scale (Spark/PySpark time-series); high-volume IoT or sensor data.
- Building or integrating AI agent features (tool use conversational interfaces LLM-powered surfaces) a strong differentiator.
- Safety operations or compliance software experience.
Education:
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science Engineering or a related technical field.
