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 Platform Engineer to build and maintain the infrastructure that supports our AI camera deployment and data processing systems. You'll work on cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and monitoring systems that ensure our traffic enforcement platform operates reliably at scale across multiple cities and thousands of devices.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain cloud infrastructure using modern DevOps practices and infrastructure-as-code principles
  • Develop CI/CD pipelines for deploying software to both cloud services and edge devices in the field
  • Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting to ensure platform reliability and rapid incident response
  • Support secure, scalable data pipelines that handle video processing and violation detection workflows
  • Collaborate to optimize deployment processes and improve developer productivity
  • Maintain containerized services and orchestration platforms, supporting our distributed AI inference systems
  • Contribute to infrastructure security, compliance, and disaster recovery planning

What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years of platform engineering, DevOps, or cloud infrastructure experience
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation)
  • Proficiency with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipeline development
  • Understanding of monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, or similar)
  • Experience with scripting languages (Python, Bash) and configuration management
  • Knowledge of networking, security best practices, and system administration fundamentals

Bonus Point

  • Experience with edge computing, IoT device management, or video processing infrastructure

Why Obvio

  • Your work will help save lives and improve road safety
  • Series A of $22M led by Bain Capital
  • Fast-moving startup environment with meaningful ownership
  • Competitive compensation and early-stage equity
