Currently, we have more than 150 specialists on board working on solutions for fixed and mobile cameras, video analytics, video management systems, and access control. We serve public safety and commercial customers including healthcare, airports, retail, critical infrastructure, and public venues. No longer is video just reactive—looking back at what has taken place—but it also informs proactively, issuing alerts in real-time when a person, object, or vehicle appears or a perimeter is crossed. You will join the Krakow Alta Video Team, a group responsible for developing camera firmware built primarily using Go (Golang) and C++. We are looking for a team player who enjoys solving complex problems and is eager to improve system stability and robustness.
