About Orasio

Expérience, qualifications et compétences non techniques, avez-vous tout ce qu'il faut pour réussir dans cette opportunité ? Découvrez-le ci-dessous.

Orasio builds cutting-edge solutions that automatically detect situations of interest in video streams. Powered by advanced AI models trained to extract actionable insights from imagery, our technology is designed to be deployed within both existing and new infrastructures, across public and private sectors, civilian or military, while strictly adhering to legal and privacy frameworks.

As artificial intelligence becomes a key pillar of technological sovereignty, Orasio’s mission is to become Europe’s leading video intelligence company. We develop world-class AI solutions tailored to defense and public safety needs, combining technical excellence with a deep respect for data protection laws.

The Role

We're looking for a Engineering Lead, Forensic Solutions to:

• 
  
• Own the engineering of Orasio’s Forensic vertical end to end, in close partnership with the Product Lead. You will be accountable for its architecture, technical roadmap, engineering execution, reliability and scalability.
  
• Partner with the Product Lead, who owns product and business strategy, while you own the technical strategy, architecture and engineering execution of the vertical.
  
• Build the investigation product that forensic units, criminal investigators and scientific police rely on to turn hours of heterogeneous video into evidence.
  
• Deliver a platform that is fast, traceable and trustworthy enough to stand up in a legal process.
  

Investigators work with video from everywhere: CCTV, private cameras, body cameras, dashcams, phones, drones, exports from dozens of VMS and proprietary formats. You will make this chaos searchable, correlatable and reportable, in on-premise and air-gapped environments where reliability and security are not negotiable.

This is not a traditional senior developer role. You are the CTO-pair of the vertical: you own the architecture, the technical roadmap and the delivery, while working directly with investigators to understand how they actually work. You will lead a small squad of engineers.

Responsibilities

Technical ownership:

• 
  
• Build and lead the engineering team for the vertical as it scales, setting a high bar for architecture, code quality, velocity and operational excellence.
  
• Be accountable for the forensic product in production, from architecture and development to deployment, performance, reliability and incident resolution.
  
• Make explicit trade-offs between speed, scope, quality and long-term maintainability
  
• Lead delivery across software, ML and Platform engineers, and deployment engineers
  
• Turn lessons from each deployment into reusable capabilities shared across Orasio's products
  

Product engineering:

• 
  
• Design and build fullstack features across our React frontends and FastAPI backends
  
• Build ingestion pipelines for large volumes of heterogeneous video, formats, codecs and metadata
  
• Build multi-camera, multi-source investigation workflows: search, timeline reconstruction, correlation, geospatial views and video playback
  
• Surface ML outputs (detection, re-identification, attribute and semantic search) in ways investigators can verify and trust
  
• Build reporting and export features that produce clear, court-ready outputs
  
• Integrate with third-party VMS, evidence management systems and customer infrastructures
  
• Contribute to our shared TypeScript, Python and Rust libraries
  

Trust, integrity and compliance:

• 
  
• Design for chain of custody: integrity checks, hashing, immutable audit logs and full traceability of every action and transformation applied to a video
  
• Build security, privacy, permissions and auditability into every technical decision
  
• Apply GDPR, the Law Enforcement Directive and the EU AI Act in the design of the product
  
• Care about performance, reliability and security in constrained, on-premise and air-gapped environments
  

Team and field:

• 
  
• Spend time with investigators, forensic analysts and scientific police units to observe real casework
  
• Take part in deployments and support our Deployment Team on site when needed
  
• Participate in architecture discussions and code reviews, push back on complexity and help raise the bar of the codebase
  

Ideal Profile

• 
  
• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with significant ownership of production systems
  
• Proven experience leading the engineering of a product, platfo
