Engineering Manager

Department: Engineering

Location: Sunnyvale

Employment Type: FullTime

At Coram AI, we’re reimagining video security for the modern world. Our cloud-native platform uses computer vision and AI to help businesses stay safe, make smarter decisions, and move faster; from real-time alerts to seamless clip sharing and multi-site visibility.

You’ll be joining an ambitious, fast-moving team that values clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person here has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected.

The Role

Lead our entire California engineering team as the engineering leader for our Sunnyvale office. Your team owns critical parts of our edge AI platform, cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing engineering. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: you'll set direction and grow the team, but stay close to the code through architecture, review, and debugging. You'll start managing the engineers, growing significantly within a year as we scale 2–3x, and work directly with the CTO, CEO, and Product.

What We're Looking For

• Reached Staff / very senior IC level and spent a couple of years there before moving into management (typically after ~4–5 years engineering).

• Current or prior experience managing engineers (Tech Lead Manager or Engineering Manager).

• Deep strength in at least one of: distributed / real-time systems (e.g. C++), robotics / AI, or HPC.

• Time inside an established top-tier engineering culture with exposure to how a 50–100+ person org operates.

• A strong hiring track record and a high bar for what "great" looks like.

• Still genuinely hands-on and motivated by ownership, impact, and shaping the product.

We're on a mission to transform a $50B+ legacy industry by bringing the power of cutting-edge multimodal LLMs and computer vision to real-world security and operations. From firearm detection to intelligent access control, our AI-native platform turns every camera and sensor into a smart system that enhances safety, efficiency, and awareness.
