Job Overview

Genea is looking for a Software Engineering Manager (Video Streaming) to lead the team building Genea Video, our cloud-native video solution built directly into the Genea security platform alongside access control and visitor management. Genea Video lets customers connect compatible RTSP cameras through the Genea Gateway (an on-site NVIDIA Jetson appliance that runs AI at the edge) or stream supported Axis cameras straight to the cloud. Customers can then watch live view and recorded playback, build camera walls, search across every camera with AI, and see the door and badge event behind every clip. You will own the engineering of this video streaming pipeline end to end, from camera ingest and edge processing to cloud storage, playback and search, and participate in the full SDLC from system analysis to testing and deployment. This hybrid engineering role combines hands-on technical leadership with people management, building high quality, high performance software alongside a great team.

What you would do, day-to-day?

- Lead and grow the team building Genea Video, from camera ingest and edge processing to cloud storage, playback and search.

- Have a keen eye on code quality, with scalability, maintainability and readability in mind.

- Have a solution-oriented mindset and design high-load, low-latency video streaming systems that scale across thousands of cameras and locations.

- Estimate and delegate work across streaming, edge (Genea Gateway) and web/mobile client workstreams.

- Manage the people on a large engineering team to keep them aligned and focused on achieving the team’s goals.

- Drive the design, strategy, and execution of video projects that support the Genea Video roadmap, including live view, recorded playback, camera walls, clip export and camera management.
