About the Role
As an AI Software Team Lead (Hands-On), you will lead a team of software engineers responsible for
Axon’s production AI infrastructure and real-time computer vision pipelines. This is a hands-on
leadership role, combining technical ownership, architectural decision-making, and active
development. You will work closely with research, hardware, and product teams to transform
cutting-edge AI algorithms into robust, high-performance production systems deployed on edge
environments.
What You'll Do:
Technical Leadership
● Lead and mentor a team of AI software engineers (2–6 engineers).
● Own the team’s technical roadmap, architecture, and engineering standards.
● Drive best practices in system design, testing, performance optimization, and production
reliability.
● Conduct code reviews and actively contribute to the codebase (approximately 30–50%
hands-on development).
Delivery & Execution
● Own end-to-end delivery of production AI and real-time video processing pipelines.
● Define priorities, break down initiatives into actionable tasks, and ensure execution.
● Collaborate closely with research teams to productionize state-of-the-art AI models.
● Oversee deployment across a diverse range of edge hardware platforms.
System & Performance Ownership
● Optimize runtime efficiency of AI models and classical computer vision algorithms.
● Ensure scalability, low latency, and high reliability of mission-critical systems.
● Maintain deep familiarity with the production code and system architecture.
Requirements
Qualifications (Must)
● BS/MS in Computer Science or related field.
● 7+ years of software engineering experience in industrial or academic settings.
● 2+ years of experience leading or mentoring engineers.
● Strong proficiency in Python.
● Strong experience developing in Linux environments.
● Proven experience designing and delivering production systems.
● Strong system design and architectural skills.
● Ability to thrive in a dynamic early-stage environment.
Qualifications (Advantages)
● Deep understanding of state-of-the-art computer vision and deep learning concepts.
● Experience with leading AI systems into production.
● Experience with video protocols and streaming tools (GStreamer, FFmpeg).
● Experience with hardware integration tools (ROS, serial communication, camera calibration
tools).
