Your Impact

Do you want to contribute to the work that addresses some of today’s most challenging problems in the public safety space? Are you passionate about AI and Machine Learning? Are you looking for an opportunity to train machine learning models and deploy it in real life situations for the greater good?

As a Sr. Research Scientist, you will investigate the research approach, assess the implementation risk and define the success metrics for multiple AI/ML projects while collaborating with other research scientists and machine learning engineers. You will be actively involved throughout the entire AI innovation life cycle from model prototyping to deployment and continuous learning.

The ideal candidate will have a proven scientific background and a consistent track record of successfully researching and delivering scalable AI-based products with hands-on execution. We need someone willing to be fearless and more than willing to take on bold challenges. By accelerating the adoption of our technologies, you'll help protect life in public safety for both officers and the communities they serve around the world.
