Position Overview / Onsite / Full-time / Salaried Urban Sky is seeking a Senior Embedded Imaging Software Engineer to own the firmware, imaging pipeline, and data-movement stack behind our electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) payloads - from the sensor at the focal plane to the command-and-control link on the ground. You'll write the firmware that drives our cameras and edge compute, own the CUDA image processing pipeline that turns raw pixels into clean, calibrated, geo-tagged imagery, and architect the high-rate data paths and C2 infrastructure that connect the payload to the customer. Your goal: deliver clean, honest imagery. Much of this work proves out in the field - at events, exercises, and customer engagements. Key Responsibilities: Own embedded firmware for our EO and IR payloads: sensor bring-up, driver development, and edge compute on NVIDIA Jetson platforms Integrate cameras and sensors over PCIe, MIPI/CSI, and USB, and develop board-support packages for custom carrier boards, system-on-modules, and companion microcontrollers Own the L0 image processing pipeline running in CUDA at the edge: debayering, white balance, gamma, and camera/lens correction - applied to raw frames before any codec Own IR-specific processing: non-uniformity correction (NUC), bad-pixel replacement, and radiometric calibration Develop multi-frame super-resolution and related computational imaging capabilities Implement imagery metadata (KLV/MISB) so every frame carries accurate pointing, position, and time Architect high-throughput data paths across the vehicle - PCIe as a first-class specialty - and the routing infrastructure that carries imagery, telemetry, and C2 across satellite, tactical-radio, and IP links Optimize for latency, throughput, and determinism, and balance pipeline compute against onboard ML workloads sharing the same CUDA resources Integrate payload firmware with the gimbal and motion-control stack, consuming pointing and autonomy commands from the broader payload software architecture Develop and maintain optical calibrations for our EO/IR payloads - lens distortion modeling, vignetting/flat-field correction, and MTF/sharpness characterization - so imagery quality is measured and repeatable across cameras and flights Implement motion and temporal compensation (frame-to-frame registration, stabilization, and temporal filtering) to maximize effective image quality from a moving platform Qualifications: Experience building end-to-end camera/imaging systems, from sensor to downstream consumer Working experience with image processing pipelines (debayering, calibration, correction) and CUDA or GPU-accelerated processing Experience with optical calibration and characterization - distortion modeling, vignetting correction, MTF/sharpness measurement - and building the correction steps that apply them in a processing pipeline Familiarity with motion/temporal compensation techniques (registration, stabilization, temporal filtering) for imaging from moving platforms 5+ years developing embedded firmware in C/C++ for embedded Linux and/or bare-metal/RTOS systems Hands-on experience shipping on NVIDIA Jetson or comparable embedded Linux/SoC platforms Deep experience moving high-rate data over PCIe (driver, DMA, endpoint/root-complex level) Solid grounding in networking, data routing, and command-and-control infrastructure Strong hardware debugging skills and comfort working from schematics Nice-to-Haves / Preferred Skills: IR/thermal imaging experience, including NUC and radiometric calibration GStreamer, V4L2, or other imaging/video pipeline frameworks Computational imaging techniques (super-resolution, stacking, HDR) Defense imagery and metadata standards (MISB/KLV, STANAG); defense or mission-critical development experience FPGA workflows or high-speed serial interfaces (SerDes, Aurora, MIPI) Experience with optics and optical hardware Experience with multi-sensor and multispectral fusion - co-registering and combining imagery across sensors and bands into fused data products, in partnership with downstream data teams Requirements: Must be US Citizen or Permanent Resident Must be able to obtain and maintain a US security clearance (an active clearance is a plus) Must be located near Denver, CO or willing to relocate; role is on-site at our Denver headquarters (4800 Race St) Travel expected to support field events, exercises, and customer engagements Benefits: Stock Options Medical, Vision and Dental Flexible PTO Cell Phone Bill Stipend Urban Sky is an Equal Opportunity employer.

Job Description Job Description Hi, We're AppFolio We're innovators, changemakers, and collaborators. We're more than just a software company - we're building the AI-native platform where the real estate industry comes to do business. We're transforming property management: how properties are leased, how residents find their homes, and how intelligence flows across an entire portfolio. Realm-X is AppFolio's AI-native platform powering this transformation. Within it, Realm-X Leasing Performer is an autonomous AI agent that handles the end-to-end leasing lifecycle - lead management, tour scheduling, follow-up, application processing, etc. - on behalf of property managers and leasing teams. It's one of AppFolio's most ambitious bets on autonomous AI, and it needs ML engineering worthy of that ambition. Who We Are Looking For We're hiring a Staff Machine Learning Engineer to own the ML strategy and execution that makes the Realm-X Leasing Performer production-grade, observable, and continuously improving. You'll sit at the intersection of applied ML, agent systems, and leasing domain expertise - working directly with Leasing Engineering, Voice & Agents, and Research ML to translate prototypes into systems our customers can depend on every day. This isn't a platform-only role. You'll be close enough to the product to shape how the Leasing Performer reasons, acts, and learns - and close enough to infrastructure to make sure it's reliable, cost-efficient, and safe at scale. Your Impact Own the ML Strategy for Leasing: Define and drive the machine learning roadmap across Leasing products - identifying where ML creates the most leverage, making the right model and architecture bets, and working closely with Product and Engineering leadership to align the team around a coherent technical vision that reflects real customer outcomes. Drive the Development & Architecture for Autonomous AI Agents: Be the ML lead for AppFolio's autonomous leasing agent - shaping how it communicates with prospective tenants and helps streamline leasing operations. You'll own the model quality, evaluation framework, and continuous improvement loop that makes the Performer better over time. Translate Research into Product: Partner with Voice & Agents and Research ML to evaluate new capabilities - fine-tuning approaches, retrieval strategies, agentic patterns - and make the call on what's ready to ship and what needs more hardening before it reaches customers. Drive Model Quality and Evaluation: Build the evaluation and experimentation infrastructure that lets the Leasing team ship ML changes with confidence - defining what "better" looks like for leasing-specific tasks and owning the metrics that reflect real customer outcomes. Set the ML Bar for Leasing Engineering: Establish the patterns, standards, and practices that the broader Leasing Engineering team follows when integrating ML - from prompt engineering and RAG to fine-tuning and model selection. Be the person the team comes to when the ML question is hard. Operate with Production Discipline: Ensure that ML systems powering the Leasing Performer meet the reliability bar that production SaaS demands - SLOs, observability, cost discipline, and a clear on-call posture. You don't have to build all of it, but you own the outcomes. Qualifications Systems thinker: You think in terms of platforms and long-term leverage, not just features. You understand how ML infrastructure decisions compound over time. Production builder: You've built and scaled ML infrastructure in production with meaningful business impact - and you treat it like any other production system. Domain curiosity: You take time to understand the business workflows your systems serve - in this case, leasing - and use that understanding to make better technical bets. Ambiguity: You operate effectively in high ambiguity, turning unclear infra problems into clear direction. Owner-operator: You take ownership with a founder mindset, act with urgency, and focus on outcomes. Collaboration: You are humble, collaborative, and low-ego - you elevate those around you and work fluidly across ML, product, and engineering. Reliability mindset: You treat ML infra like any other production system: SLOs, on-call, observability, postmortems. Sustainability: You value work-life balance as a foundation for sustained high performance. Must Have ML Development at scale: Has built and supported production ML systems at scale. Architectural Leadership: You have experience leading architectural discussions, defining system design, and guiding technical decision-making. Inference & Training: Has trained or fine-tuned language models end-to-end; comfortable with deep learning, evaluation, and inference. Training capability: Has trained or fine-tuned language models end-to-end; comfortable with deep learning, evaluation, and inference. RAG & agents: Hands-on experience with LangChain / LangGraph and modern RAG patterns over structured and unstructured data. AI safety & authorization: Hands-on experience operating AI guardrails, scoped tool permissions, and authorization layers for production AI systems - especially in agentic contexts. Nice to Have Experience building ML systems for conversational AI, leasing, or CRM-adjacent workflows. GPU performance tuning (vLLM, TensorRT, Triton, or similar). Experience with ontology-driven systems or knowledge graphs supporting AI applications. Familiarity with real estate, property management, or leasing workflows. Contributions to open-source ML infrastructure or LLM tooling. Location Find out more about our locations by visiting our site. All late-stage candidates complete an in-person meeting with an AppFolian as part of our hiring process. Compensation & Benefits The compensation that we reasonably expect to pay for this role is: $200,000 - $275,000 base pay. The actual compensation for this role will be determined by a variety of factors, including but not limited to the candidate's skills, education, experience, and internal equity. Please note that compensation is just one aspect of a comprehensive Total Rewards package. The compensation range listed here does not include additional benefits or any discretionary bonuses you may be eligible for based on your role and/or employment type.

Job Description Job Description Hi, We're AppFolio We're innovators, changemakers, and collaborators. We're more than just a software company - we're building the AI-native platform where the real estate industry comes to do business. We're transforming property management: how properties are leased, how residents find their homes, and how intelligence flows across an entire portfolio. Realm-X is AppFolio's AI-native platform powering this transformation. Within it, Realm-X Leasing Performer is an autonomous AI agent that handles the end-to-end leasing lifecycle - lead management, tour scheduling, follow-up, application processing, etc. - on behalf of property managers and leasing teams. It's one of AppFolio's most ambitious bets on autonomous AI, and it needs ML engineering worthy of that ambition. Who We Are Looking For We're hiring a Staff Machine Learning Engineer to own the ML strategy and execution that makes the Realm-X Leasing Performer production-grade, observable, and continuously improving. You'll sit at the intersection of applied ML, agent systems, and leasing domain expertise - working directly with Leasing Engineering, Voice & Agents, and Research ML to translate prototypes into systems our customers can depend on every day. This isn't a platform-only role. You'll be close enough to the product to shape how the Leasing Performer reasons, acts, and learns - and close enough to infrastructure to make sure it's reliable, cost-efficient, and safe at scale. Your Impact Own the ML Strategy for Leasing: Define and drive the machine learning roadmap across Leasing products - identifying where ML creates the most leverage, making the right model and architecture bets, and working closely with Product and Engineering leadership to align the team around a coherent technical vision that reflects real customer outcomes. Drive the Development & Architecture for Autonomous AI Agents: Be the ML lead for AppFolio's autonomous leasing agent - shaping how it communicates with prospective tenants and helps streamline leasing operations. You'll own the model quality, evaluation framework, and continuous improvement loop that makes the Performer better over time.
