About the role

Obvio deploys AI-assisted cameras to make streets safer. We're looking for a Software Engineer to join the backend team that powers our annotation workflows. These systems sit at the core of our machine learning feedback loops and operational pipelines. You'll work across product, ML, and ops teams to build resilient, observable, and secure systems that translate ambiguous requirements into elegant software. Help design and build distributed systems that support high-throughput data review and annotation pipelines

What they're looking for

  • 3–5 years of backend engineering experience
  • Experience building and maintaining production distributed systems
  • Comfort with operational practices — you write code with observability, alerting, and failure recovery in mind
  • Working knowledge of security principles, including least privilege and secure transport/storage
  • Ability to take reasonably well-scoped requirements and turn them into solid design and interfaces, asking good questions when things are ambiguous
  • A collaborative mindset — you give and take feedback well and enjoy working closely with teammates
More about this role

Each year, more than 40,000 people in the U.S. leave home and never make it back due to traffic crashes. At Obvio, we believe these deaths are preventable. We deploy solar-powered, AI-assisted cameras to enforce traffic laws where pedestrians are most vulnerable, automating enforcement in ways that traditional systems cannot. Our approach has already led to a 50% reduction in reckless driving in early partner cities.

Founded by the team behind Motive's AI dashcam and backed by Bain Capital Ventures and Khosla Ventures, we are building the intelligence layer for safer streets globally.
