Senior Python AI Backend Engineer for Video Analysis

We're looking for an AI/Video streaming Engineer in the field of real-time multi-stream video analysis.

🚨 We're Hiring: Senior/Founding Python Developer (6-8 years exp)

📍 Location: On-site Caesarea / Hybrid from Israel

📅 Start: Immediate – Quick onboarding

💼 Company: Argu

💰 Full-Time

Overview:

We are looking for a hands-on senior engineer to own the end-to-end productionization of real-time video systems and AI pipelines.

You will take existing computer vision models and algorithmics and integrate them into production, turning them into high-performance, scalable, production-grade systems running across hundreds of concurrent video streams on GPU and edge hardware.

You will work at the intersection of:

• Python microservices backend development
• video streaming
• Distributed and multithreaded development
• Real-time inference
• AI pipeline/processing optimization

This is a deeply engineering-focused role with real ownership.

What You Will Do

• Build and own Python backend microservices and architecture
• Build and optimize real-time video streaming pipelines using GStreamer and NVIDIA DeepStream
• Deploy and accelerate CV and AI models using CUDA, TensorRT, PyTorch, OpenCV
• Run inference at scale across 100s of concurrent video streams
• Work with NVIDIA platforms and related SDKs for edge deployment
• Profile GPU workloads, tune kernels, manage CUDA streams and concurrency
• Design robust AI inference services exposed via FastAPI
• Implement vector-based search and similarity workflows for embeddings
• Own the system from model handoff to stable production deployment

Required Experience

• 5+ years of hands-on Python backend/architecture engineering for large-scale/distributed systems
• Docker + Linux, production debugging
• Background in real-time video streaming (RTSP, FFMPEG, HLS, WEBRTC)
• Practical experience with GStreamer
• Experience with Nvidia CUDA
• Production use of TensorRT and/or DeepStream
• Solid experience with OpenCV and PyTorch
• Experience scaling AI inference
• Strong Linux experience

Beyond the skills, we’re searching for someone who:

· Is genuinely excited about AI, vision, and building something groundbreaking.

· Brings curiosity, initiative, and a collaborative spirit to every challenge.

· Is the kind of person we’d love to grab a beer (or coffee) with - someone fun, thoughtful, and great to have on the team.
