(hiring)Dir. of Engr.-Solink (video search startup based in Ottawa,ON)

About Us Solink is an early-stage software company focused on developing video search solutions for the enterprise video surveillance market. Video data has conventionally been unstructured (boring) – users play, pause, fast-forward and rewind pre-recorded video post-event to find video evidence, causing billions of hours of data and events to go unnoticed and undetected every year.<p>We develop technology that mines video data of objects, people, motion and text in an effort to bring meaning to every second and every pixel recorded. The outcome allows users to search video, proactively alarm on suspicious activity, archive customer and employee footage, and create reports to highlight operational improvement. Solink is venture backed by Wesley Clover and operates out of its incubator in Kanata, Ontario (20 mins from Ottawa).<p>About the Job: • Responsible for all aspects of the engineering team, from hiring to implementation, where you implement processes to promote efficiency, quality and best use of available resources to achieve company goals. • Lead the engineering team by example, by defining targets, processes and structure, through hands-on management and the mentoring of the team. • Deliver our software on time and within budget, supported in this effort by the product, sales, and marketing teams. • Own all technology innovation for current and future products – ability to execute on product strategy by incorporating proven and scalable technologies • Oversee the design and creation of several new products and major enhancements • Excellent communication skills • You will report directly to the CEO Requirements: • 5+ years experience in building, leading and refining engineering teams in a cutting edge software environment. • Proven track record of implementing efficient processes within an engineering organization and delivering quality software on target. • .NET/MySQL/UI/Server-Side programming experience - We want our managers to completely understand how their departments operate and to know first-hand where common pain points are and how to best address them. • Experience designing applications that can communicate with API layers and scaling them Nice to Have: • Startup experience. • Experience in machine vision applications • Experience in the banking sector.
