About Obvio AI
Each year, more than 7,500 pedestrians are killed by drivers in the U.S.—a number that has increased by 70% over the past decade. Despite growing awareness, most cities still struggle to curb dangerous driving. “Vision Zero” efforts across the country are falling short.
Obvio AI exists to change that.
We deploy solar-powered, AI-assisted cameras to enforce traffic laws where pedestrians are most vulnerable—automating enforcement in ways that police departments or traditional systems cannot. Our approach has already led to a dramatic reduction in reckless driving and improved safety for pedestrians, drivers, and law enforcement alike.
Founded by the team behind Motive’s AI dashcam, Obvio is backed by Bain Capital Ventures and Khosla Ventures. We recently raised a $22M Series A and are working with some of the most forward-thinking cities in the country. With meaningful revenue, a massive market, and strong policy momentum, we’re building the intelligence layer for safer streets globally.
About the Role
We're seeking a Senior Embedded Engineer to lead the development and optimization of software that powers our AI-enabled traffic enforcement cameras. These systems operate in challenging outdoor environments, processing video in real-time while managing strict power and performance constraints. You'll drive technical architecture decisions, mentor team members, and work across hardware, AI, and backend teams to build reliable, efficient embedded systems that detect violations with precision and transmit critical data seamlessly.
