Our home security platform reliably identifies, understands, and deters threats. With Sauron, you always know that everything is under control. Backed by Abstract Ventures.
About the role
Perception is the foundation of the Sauron product. Every decision the system makes (what to show a homeowner, what to disregard, what to escalate) depends on whether we have correctly understood what took place outside the home. We are seeking the person who will own this domain. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Collaboration, pair programming, and teamwork
- Taking ownership across the stack
- Test-driven development, and refactoring regularly to keep our codebases healthy
- Evolving the pipeline architecture so cameras can come and go, and configuration can change, without disrupting live video or losing object identity
- Setting the boundary between systems and models. You decide what belongs in the compiled service, what belongs in the inference graph, and where the performance ceiling really is
- Owning perception quality end to end. Defining what good looks like in numbers: evaluation data, a regression harness, and a defensible story on model choice for our hardware
More about this role
Who We Are
Sauron is the home security company of the future. Homeowners today lack compelling options when it comes to peace of mind against vulnerabilities, and total command and control of their home; there is no definitive, protective brand in the space. Leveraging cutting-edge AI, sensor technology, and nonlethal deterrence, Sauron brings next-generation technology to homeowners to protect their families and property. Incubated by the serial entrepreneur Kevin Hartz and Atomic, Sauron has raised an $18M seed round from leading venture capital firms and angel investors, including 8VC and Flock Safety CEO Garret Langley, to build the new perception system for the home.
