Leader and Architect, Next-Gen Video Browsing - Arrowsight – Westchester County, NY (one hour north of Manhattan)

 

Arrowsight improves business operations using video-based measurements and data mining.  Using network video recorders at our customers’ premises, we help our customers spot critical issues affecting safety, compliance, and productivity. 

 

Each week, our staff reviews 60,000 video clips, and this number is growing fast.  Our success hinges on our unique tools for browsing and synopsizing video and fetching it from our clients’ video recorders.  You will continue our record of innovating in this area, enabling our staff and partners to review unprecedented amounts of video with high accuracy.

 

Expect to get your hands dirty.  You will be responsible for selecting architectures and programming frameworks (on the Windows platform), and auditing code written by your direct reports/contractors.   Initially you’ll probably write some code.  You will also write and review patent applications.  You will report to the CTO and be visible to the executive team and our partners.
