We're looking for a passionate SWE with some linux/networking/firmware experience to drive forward some greenfield product development and help scale & deliver existing hardware-enabled offerings. We've got some scale-integrated cameras deployed in the field which enables a web-app for analytics for material sampling. We've got a few units deployed at metal recycling facilities, and we're ramping up sales. We're also building a camera-over-conveyor-belt solution for process monitoring (greenfield dev/R&D).
Desired Competencies: linux, networking, basic electronics, firmware, cloud infra (AWS), web products, databases
Nice-to-Have Experience: edge-to-cloud CV system deployment/design, .NET ecosystem (C#, EF), networking (Wireguard, ssh), firmware dev/mgmt, observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus), IaC (Pulumi), stats/math/ML/signal-processing fundamentals, basic soldering, web products (TypeScript, React)
Role is remote-first hybrid. For some hardware/firmware/R&D, you'll need to be in-person in Worcester MA, but majority of role is remote. Infrequent travel to recycling facilities (continental US) for deployment/maintenance will be required.

Viam (founded by former co-founder/long-time CTO of MongodDB) is an open source robotics + AI developer platform. It is a single platform that brings software engineering maturity to robotics and automation.
Why this could be interesting to you: Impact: ~100 people (~70 engineers) with only a handful at Staff level → huge room for influence.
Proven, technical founder (MongoDB): → scaling with traction and real customers.
Tech: Backend-focused teams (Core Services, Infrastructure, Motion Planning, Platform/Server) using Golang, MongoDB, Linux, GCP.
Timing: Early enough to shape core architecture, late enough to see meaningful usage and scale.

Engineers at Prodia build the systems that make image + video generation fast, reliable, and easy for developers to use.
This is a highly practical role: shipping models, features, and improvements that show up directly in latency, quality, and uptime.
Sample projects include… * Optimising, testing, and integrating frontier image/video models (research -> production) * Building the best APIs for developers: clean ergonomics, great docs, predictable behaviour * Designing evals + observability: catching regressions, ranking outputs, and understanding quality changes * Improving our distributed job scheduling (throughput, latency, fairness, cost) * Reading the latest papers to gather methods for future improvements * Using the newest AI/agentic tooling to speed up debugging, experimentation, and iteration
You might be a fit if… * You’re an excellent programmer and love shipping quickly * You're a first principles thinker who is unfazed by hard problems * You're looking to learn more about machine learning at a rapid pace * No specific degree or background required — show us what you’ve built and how you think

Sleep is vital to recharging mentally, restoring our bodies physically, and fighting off disease. Sleep is so core to our health that it's the activity we all spend most of our life doing. Yet sleep disorders are some of the most underdiagnosed health conditions on the planet, with an estimated 80% of obstructive sleep apnea patients undiagnosed and untreated
EnsoData uses machine learning, integration with pulse oximeter hardware, mobile apps, and clinician review UIs to automate sleep study scoring and give sleep clinicians tools to find and help patients with sleep disorders.
We're hiring a product manager to uncover what features our customers crave most, conduct discovery research in the sleep industry, define and prioritize product requirements, partner with engineers to ship features, and work with marketers to tell compelling product stories. You'll manage the product development process from whiteboard mockups tested with real users through to detailed specs and launch, breaking down ambiguous problems into releasable slices that bring AI-powered sleep diagnosis to more patients.
