Video Engineer

Join Drishti to solve a 100-year-old problem in a $12 trillion dollar market.
Deep learning-driven action recognition is the next frontier for AI. Build it with us.

Drishti’s mission is to “extend human potential in an increasingly automated world.” We’re driving true digital transformation in manufacturing by, for the first time since Henry Ford, making manual processes visible to factory analytics. We’re producing, collecting and analyzing massive amounts of data as we build manufacturing’s first and only solution for deep learning-driven action recognition. 

About this role

Drishti’s video systems engineer is responsible for designing, deploying and maintaining a closed loop system in which live video gets streamed to our cloud computing infrastructure from a client system behind a firewall. The video stream gets processed and annotated in the cloud and is played back to a small number of authenticated clients over https. This engineer will be a self-starter who can work independently, but also coordinate and communicate effectively with a cross-continental team.

Minimum qualifications

  • Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science from top tier engineering college
  • Solid computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, design principles
  • 2+ years experience
  • Fluency in C++
  • Experience with video codecs/codecs libraries (e.g. H.264)
  • Knowledge of video and streaming protocols (MP4, RTSP, RTMP, MPEG-Dash, HLS)

Preferred qualifications

  • Prior experience with cloud platforms (GCP / AWS / Azure)
  • Prior experience with ffmpeg, wowza, live555 media 

Five reasons to work at Drishti

  1. Work with visionaries who can execute: Our leadership team is comprised of heavy hitters from the AI and deep learning world. Check out their patents and publications, and see how their histories intertwine with the biggest movements in the last 30 years of technology. And imagine being on a first name basis with them, solving hard technical problems side-by-side.
  2. Tackle a massive market challenge: Manufacturing is a $12T industry that still uses 100-year-old techniques to gather data on human tasks. Which means that people, who still perform nearly 75 percent of factory activities, are effectively invisible to analytics. This situation severely hinders the decision-making abilities of the world’s largest manufacturing brands. The demand for a solution couldn’t be larger.
  3. Do what you love – solve problems using tech: A problem of this magnitude requires the full force of technological solutions. You’ll take on neural network model accuracy, high-volume video transit and storage, Big Data analysis and much more. It’s the challenge – and the madness, and the fun – of building an SAP on top of a YouTube on top of a Nest.
  4. Lead the charge from Bangalore: Drishti is based in Silicon Valley, and funded by top venture capital investors that include Andreessen Horowitz, Emergence Capital and BGV. But – and this is critical for you – Drishti is building its product out of Bangalore. From our CTO on down, Bangalore is the heart and soul of Drishti’s engineering. You’ll be at the center of the action.
  5. Get exposure to deep learning: Deep learning technology is fundamental to what we do, and select engineers at Drishti have the opportunity to rotate into our deep learning group, to work alongside some of the foremost experts in the field.
