Meraki’s camera team is a growing, forward-thinking team building security cameras for the future. Our product blends the elegance and ease of use of high-end consumer systems with the immense scalability, security, and power of enterprise-grade solutions.

As the head of the Camera Frontend team, you will lead our efforts to deliver an outstanding experience for the users who depend on our product every day for safety, security, and business intelligence. Alongside your own small team of 3-4 creative and hardworking engineers, you'll partner with product managers, UX designers, and the rest of the software engineering organization to solve complex problems, harnessing a powerful technology platform to connect users to the footage and answers they're looking for. You will also be growing the team, retaining talent, providing technical direction and career development opportunities, and nurturing the team's core values of quality, teamwork, and inclusiveness.

At your disposal will be a full suite of cameras, equipped with powerful (and ethical) computer vision technology based on machine learning, with a passionate, supportive, personal-growth oriented team by your side.

We can’t wait to see where your imagination will take you.

• Identify gaps in your team’s knowledge or ability to execute, and work with our recruiters to build out your team
