About Irisity

At Irisity, we develop video analytics software for the security industry with great respect for personal integrity and privacy, focusing on detecting suspicious activity rather than exposing personal identity. Our system excels at the automatic detection of unwanted activity, such as intruders at construction sites at night, or people climbing roofs or breaking windows. We focus on detecting and preventing criminal activity without registering the identity of regular citizens. At sensitive installations such as schools, our system anonymizes all individuals to hide their identity, to make sure that the invasion of privacy is kept at a zero level. This way, our system can detect what happens and alert, leading to reduced crime rates and increased safety without any negative effects on personal privacy.

Irisity AB (publ) is a public company listed at OMX Nasdaq First North, with offices in Sweden, Israel, Hungary, USA, Singapore, the UAE and Brazil. We currently employ a staff of 90+ people within development, sales, support and finance. Our R&D department consists of a computer vision / machine learning team and an excellent group of system architects, designers and software developers. Our software is packaged into a complete cloud-based SaaS platform marketed towards large global customers and with thousands of cameras connected.

We are looking forward to receiving your application. We highly encourage you to apply even if you don’t fulfill all the listed requirements but think you would fit into the role. As a global company, we value diverse, inclusive teams that can contribute to our team success through their unique perspectives, experiences and backgrounds. Selection and interviews will be performed continuously until the role is filled.
