Role overview
At VivaCity, we make cities smarter, safer, and more sustainable. We have over 5,000 AI sensors around the world, gathering real-time anonymous data on transport modes, traffic flow, and travel patterns. This is used to gather actionable insights to support strategic decisions to improve the global transport network.
All our solutions are community-centric, using 'privacy by design' principles. Our ultimate goal is to make the European vision of a Smart City - one which makes the city work effectively, for the community.
We pride ourselves on a collaborative, open culture that fosters innovation, learning and encourages everyone to do their best work, whilst building a sense of community and collaboration. Read more about what it's like to work at VivaCity.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
What you'll work on
This is a highly impactful engineering role focused on deep technical expertise, where you will own key parts of our vision stack and play a central role in improving performance, scalability, and long-term evolution of our edge AI systems. Your work will substantially improve outcomes for customers, and ultimately road users around the world.
Your time will be spent roughly as follows:
- 75% - Core Engineering (pushing the boundaries of our DeepStream and GStreamer pipelines, building new features, and deploying new deep learning models)
- 15% - Reactive debugging and support
- 10% Cross-team initiatives (eg collaborating with cloud engineers on self-learning algorithms, or building dashboards for surfacing new datasets you’ve developed)
This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of AI, hardware, and real-world deployment - improving how thousands of sensors understand and interpret the world, and directly contributing to safer and more sustainable transport systems.
Interview process
- 30 minute screening interview.
- 1.5 hour system design interview where you work together with a VivaCity engineer
- 1.5 hours final round interview, split into a 45 minute technical experience interview and 45 minute soft skills interview
