at LVT
Full TimeABOUT LVT
LVT is redefining how businesses operate in the physical world, moving beyond traditional security solutions to deliver AI-driven, actionable intelligence that makes sites smarter, safer, and more secure. Since pioneering our first mobile, solar-powered units, our commitment to scrappy, hands-on innovation has made us an established leader and one of the fastest-growing companies in intelligent site technology. We are building the next generation of solutions—from our physical units in the field to a powerful Agentic AI platform—that allows our customers to gain unprecedented visibility and control over safety, compliance, and operations. This is your chance to join a cutting-edge team that isn't just watching the world change, but actively building the technology that is changing it.
We’re a team that’s focused on growth and innovation, and we’re proud that our crew, products, and leadership are being recognized for it.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Applied AI to own end-to-end delivery of LVT's GenAI-powered security deterrence product. It sits directly on top of LVT's perception stack and turns detections into spoken action in the real world.
Where our AI platform and data teams build the rails, this role builds the product that rides on them and is accountable for production delivery. You will own both the GenAI harness and the application code around it, from design through production and iteration. Because this product acts on the physical world, you'll own the precision and safety bar that comes with it.
This is a hands-on senior individual-contributor role at the intersection of several functions. You'll work cross-team with backend and platform engineers, with the ML/LLM Ops platform you deploy against, and directly with the ML engineers who own the detection models, integrating their work into a shipped product and feeding field behavior back to them. You'll also own pragmatic build-versus-buy decisions for this product: when to self-host versus call a managed model, which voice/TTS approach to adopt, and where to draw the line between product-specific code and shared platform capabilities.
You should be equally comfortable writing production application code, designing an evaluation harness for a system that must rarely act wrongly, integrating against detection models you don't own, and making a defensible build-versus-buy call under real cost and latency constraints.
