Your Impact

In the Platform team, we are solving some of the hardest cloud challenges today. We provide the underlying system that ingests tens of petabytes of video from hundreds of thousands of officers around the world. We ensure that these videos are uploaded accurately, stored safely and permanently, and with audit-logging to track chain of custody and use. We also handle a growing set of other types of evidence: audio, photographs, sensor streams, you name it. We are one of the world’s largest customers of Blob storage.

We are now at the ‘knee of the curve’, as we are transitioning to industrial-strength reliability and modern cloud software offerings. If you enjoy working on large-scale projects, and collaboratively leading and setting the technical direction of a team, this role is for you.
