Senior Software Engineer - Applied AI

We are a San Francisco based startup with an ambitious goal of disrupting the $500B+ public safety space. We have moved rapidly from vision to execution: our MVP is live in production, with paying customers and multiple departments currently relying on our platform for daily operations. Founded by industry veterans from Amazon, Airbnb and Google with a track record of bringing big ideas to life, we are building a vertically integrated platform that blends hardware sensors, software algorithms and predictive AI models to transform public safety from a labor-driven service to a product based solution.

We are seed funded by some of the world's best investors and entrepreneurs. If you deeply care about tech-for-good, have a track record of solving real-world problems at scale and have always been at the cutting edge of technical innovation, let’s talk!
