Senior Lead Full Stack Python Engineer

About the role

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Overview.ai http://Overview.ai is transforming manufacturing quality control with an advanced edge AI vision system that combines cutting-edge deep learning with ease of use and quick setup. Our system handles a wide array of inspection tasks, from subtle assembly verification to defect detection and orientation checks, delivering real-time, high-accuracy inspections that integrate directly into existing production lines.

Trusted by leading manufacturers like Ford, Honda, Toyota, SpaceX, Milliken and Flex-N-Gate, our cameras enable faster throughput, reduced scrap and lower inspection costs, without the complexity and expense of traditional vision systems.

Founded by Silicon Valley engineers and former Tesla leaders, we are a profitable, fast-growing company with teams in the US, China, Taiwan, Vietnam and Europe.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our customers are moving from a handful of cameras per plant to fleets of hundreds, and our largest accounts are on the path to thousands of OV cameras across factories in China, Vietnam, Europe and the Americas. Deploying, updating, monitoring and supporting cameras at that scale needs real products, not scripts and shared drives.

We are looking for a Senior Lead Full Stack Python Engineer to lead our Internal Tools team and own the products that make deploying thousands of AI cameras globally repeatable and reliable. You will take over OV Pro Tools, a suite of services that already runs in customer plants today: OV Vault (data storage), OV Fleet (fleet monitoring), OV Train (GPU-accelerated training) and OV Hub (Git-based recipe versioning and sharing). Your job is to turn these into one coherent platform, decide what gets built next and ship it.

This is a hands-on lead role. You will spend most of your time building, from React and TypeScript interfaces down to the Python services behind them, while leading a small team (one engineer today, more as we deploy more systems around the world) and setting the technical direction. You will also work on the frontier: LLM-powered assistants and agent builders that sit on top of our vision system.

About half your time will be spent in China, in the factories where our cameras run at scale (Nantong, Haiyan, Shenzhen and others), deploying, supporting and learning from the people who use the tools every day. The rest is product development from our Taipei base, working closely with the R&D team there.

You will operate with high autonomy: you pick the approach, ship quickly and iterate with real users.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Lead the Internal Tools team. Set the roadmap, priorities and engineering standards for the team. Mentor and grow the engineers on it, run planning and reviews, and hire as the scope grows. Stay hands-on: you ship code every week.

- Build the fleet deployment platform. Own the products that let us and our customers deploy, configure, update and monitor thousands of cameras across many sites: device management, recipe versioning and distribution, staged and canary updates with rollback, fleet health monitoring and alerting, telemetry and log tooling.
