The posting

Build a safer world with us, one incident at a time.

Ambient.ai is the category creator and leader in Agentic Physical Security. Powered by Ambient Pulsar, the first reasoning Vision-Language Model purpose-built for physical security, our platform seamlessly integrates with existing security cameras and physical access control systems to unify monitoring, access control, threat assessment, response, and investigations through an always-on reasoning layer that augments security operators with superhuman capabilities. The results: 95% fewer false alarms, investigations 20x faster, and 10x faster response.

The momentum speaks for itself: we doubled new ARR in FY26, and have delivered results for world-class customers including Cisco, ServiceNow, SentinelOne, TikTok, Bayer, and MoMA. That kind of momentum creates an environment where great people thrive, and it shows: we recently ranked #71 out of 500 on the Forbes best startup employers list https://www.forbes.com/lists/americas-best-startup-employers/.

Founded in 2017 and backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, and Allegion Ventures, Ambient.ai is on a fast-paced journey to fulfill our mission: prevent every security incident possible.

- At least 4+ years of experience building scalable and available web services.

- Strong experience working with at least one of the Object-oriented Programming Languages, like Python, Django, and React.js, would be required

- Expertise in APIs (REST / GraphQL), general web backend design principles, relational databases (MySQL / Postgres), streaming pipelines, pub-sub systems, and indexing systems

- Write clean and maintainable code

- Design and implement complex systems including communication between several services (pub-sub paradigm, microservices architecture)

- Manage service reliability, including any cloud operations work (AWS, Google Cloud)

- Experience with Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, or similar tools/technologies will be highly preferred

- Experience building SaaS product offerings will be a huge advantage.

Why join us:

- We are creating an entirely new category within a 180+ billion-dollar physical security industry and looking for team members who are also passionate about our mission to prevent every security incident possible

- We partner with an incredible customer roster of F500 companies, including Adobe, TikTok, Gap and SentinelOne

- Regular Full-time employees receive stock options for the opportunity to share ownership in the success of our company

- Comprehensive health + welfare package (Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, EAP, Legal Services, 401k plan)

- We offer flexible time off to rest and recharge, including Winter Break (time off between Christmas and New Year’s for most roles, depending on customer demand)

- The latest tech and awesome swag will be delivered to your door

- Enjoy a full range of opportunities to connect with your awesome co-workers

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
