Co-founder & CTO, Computer Vision

Homaya is building retail technology using computer vision for quick-service restaurants, convenience stores, and grocery. The Co-founder & CTO will own and build the technology end to end, from production computer vision and edge systems to cloud infrastructure, data evaluation, and customer pilots.

Responsibilities:

• Vision in production. Detection, multi-object tracking and re-identification on real store cameras, at many sites
• Vision-language models. Fine-tune, distil and calibrate compact VLMs so their outputs can be trusted in production
• Edge. Inference on a small device in the store: PyTorch to a C++ runtime, TensorRT or ONNX Runtime, FP16 and INT8, many camera streams per box, privacy masking on the device
• Fleet. Provision, update over the air and monitor devices across hundreds of stores
• Cloud and data. Video and event pipelines on AWS, built to pass a SOC 2 review
• Precision. Own the false-positive rate. Every alert a store sees has to be worth their time
• Data engine. Evaluation sets, shadow mode and a loop that learns from real stores with few labels
• Team. Hire and lead the engineering team after funding, with a high bar
• Customers. Sit with operators in pilot stores and turn what you see into the product
