About the RoleWe’re expanding our technical capabilities and building out a new offering centered around advanced network-based camera systems. We’re looking for a Network Camera Engineer who can take ownership of the backend camera networking, support system architecture, and help shape this capability into a scalable, repeatable service.
This role does not involve physical installation work. Your focus will be:
- backend networking,
- camera system optimization,
- solution design, and
- supporting sales engineering efforts.
If you’re strong in networking and excited about guiding a new technical service from the ground up, you’ll fit right in.
Key Responsibilities- Configure and support all backend networking for camera systems (VLANs, routing, DNS, DHCP, PoE switches, bandwidth management).
- Troubleshoot camera streams, network latency, connectivity issues, firmware challenges, and VMS integration.
- Help design and maintain scalable surveillance network architectures.
- Support the development of a new camera capability — standards, documentation, processes, and best practices.
- Provide sales engineering support, including solution scoping, capability demos, and technical recommendations.
- Evaluate hardware, software, and tooling to improve performance and reliability.
- Collaborate with leadership to shape the long-term direction of the camera service line.
- 3+ years working with IP/network camera systems or video surveillance environments.
- Strong understanding of TCP/IP, subnetting, VLANs, routing, DHCP, DNS, and general networking fundamentals.
- Hands-on experience with VMS/NVR systems and major camera brands (Axis, Hikvision, Dahua, Avigilon, Hanwha, etc.).
- Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills across network and video layers.
- Ability to design scalable technical solutions.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to support technical teams and sales staff.
- Self-starter comfortable taking ownership of a new capability.
- Certifications such as Network+, CCNA, or similar.
- Sales engineering or pre-sales technical experience.
- Experience with cloud-based VMS platforms (Milestone, Eagle Eye, Genetec, etc.).
- Background in solution architecture, product development, or technical program ownership.
- Salary range: $65,000–$80,000
- Fully remote work environment
- Opportunity to grow into a Lead Engineer, Product Owner, or Sales Engineer
- Ability to shape and build a new technical capability from the ground up
- Collaborative and supportive team environment
