Software Engineer (IoT · Sensors · Computer Vision)

Company Description

GroundTruth Analytics transforms real-world parking behavior into actionable insights for commercial real estate owners, retail REITs, and mixed-use developers. Using a network of modern sensors, parking pucks, LoRaWAN gateways, and LPR (license plate recognition) systems, we turn raw activity into clean zone-level data that powers rent decisions, wayfinding, tenant mix planning, and operations.

We help properties understand:

• Which zones outperform
• How visitors circulate
• Where congestion forms
• How events and holidays impact traffic
• Where incremental sales opportunities sit

We’re building the intelligence layer for physical real estate.

What you'll work on

• Integrating IoT sensors, parking pucks, and LPR devices
• Building reliable data ingestion pipelines (LoRaWAN, MQTT, REST)
• Designing services to process high-volume sensor activity
• Building computer-vision or OCR components for LPR & traffic flow
• Contributing to dashboards for zone-level occupancy & analytics
• Working with geospatial, time-series, and mobility datasets
• Improving data quality, fault tolerance, and event processing
• Supporting new product lines around wayfinding, heatmaps, etc.

Qualifications

You don’t need all of these, but strong candidates will have experience with several:

Backend / Platform

• Python or Node.js
• FastAPI, Flask, or Express
• PostgreSQL / TimescaleDB
• AWS or GCP
• Real-time processing (Kafka, Kinesis, MQTT, WebSockets)

IoT / Edge / Sensors

• Experience integrating hardware devices or LoRaWAN gateways
• Understanding of MQTT, low-power sensors, or embedded data flows
• Basic networking & device monitoring experience

Computer Vision (Nice to Have)

• OpenCV
• OCR / ANPR / LPR systems
• Basic image pipelines or model deployment

Frontend (Nice to Have)

• React, TypeScript
• Map-based visualizations (Mapbox, Leaflet, Kepler)

Who You Are

• You’re curious, scrappy, and love solving real-world problems
• You’re excited about IoT, mobility, transportation, or CV
• You enjoy building systems end-to-end
• You thrive in fast-moving, early-stage environments
• You want to own things that actually ship
