Coram AI is hiring a technically deep Engineering Manager to lead our AI team. You will own technical direction and architecture for a small, highly capable team working on real-time systems, computer vision, and generative AI, shipping production systems at scale.
What You'll Do
- Define the roadmap and technical direction for the AI team in partnership with leadership and product.
- Architect and review systems that deploy VLMs, VLAs, and CNNs across tens of thousands of cameras.
- De-risk complex technical initiatives through design reviews, experimentation, and structured evaluation.
- Lead 4 to 5 parallel projects with strong execution discipline while balancing incoming customer issues and shifting priorities.
- Collaborate closely with product to make principled tradeoffs between speed, accuracy, and scalability.
- Contribute directly to implementation when needed and lead by example.
- Hire, mentor, and grow a high-performance AI engineering team.
- Establish strong engineering standards around reliability, observability, and model evaluation.
What We're Looking For
- Several years of experience managing engineers and building a highly execution-driven culture.
- Strong technical depth in deep learning, computer vision, or multimodal systems.
- Track record of shipping production-grade ML systems at scale.
- Ability to balance technical debt, product velocity, and long-term architectural quality.
- Hands-on experience building systems at the intersection of ML, real-time systems, and robotics.
- Strong architectural judgment and ability to review complex system designs.
- Prior experience as a senior technical lead in robotics, AI, or large-scale ML systems.
Nice to Have
- Computer Science degree from a top institution; MS or PhD is a plus.
Team & Environment
You will lead a small AI team within a fast-moving company. We value clarity, craftsmanship, and impact. Every person has a voice, ships meaningful work, and helps shape how AI can make the world safer and more connected.
