About the role
- Agents operate on an event pipeline that feeds them what's happening across tens of thousands of edge devices and carries their decisions back out to the field.
- Harden the event pipeline: Make the cloud pipeline production-grade consumer reliability, delivery and ordering guarantees, replay, idempotency, dead-letter handling, and schema/contract enforcement at the boundary.
- Serve the agent layer: Make the dispatch path to agent and CV workflows reliable, and expose the event projections via MCP / agent-facing query interfaces that agents read for context, so the agentic platform has a dependable substrate to run on.
Responsibilities
- LVT is redefining how businesses operate in the physical world, moving beyond traditional security solutions to deliver AI-driven, actionable intelligence that makes sites smarter, safer, and more secure.
- This is your chance to join a cutting-edge team that isn't just watching the world change, but actively building the technology that is changing it.
- Own the signals that make the pipeline supportable, own dashboards, alerting, and feature flags.
- 6+ years building and operating backend or distributed systems in production at scale, with strong systems and API design experience.
- Hands-on with Kafka or a comparable log/streaming system; topic and partition design, consumer-group semantics, delivery guarantees, replay, and schema-registry integration.
- A track record of hardening services for production including SLOs, metrics and alerting, dead-letter and failure handling, and the operational maturity to own on-call trade-offs.
- You will build the platform that lets agents run reliably at fleet scale.
- Observability and operability: Own the signals that make the pipeline supportable, own dashboards, alerting, and feature flags.
- Backend / Distributed Systems Depth: 6+ years building and operating backend or distributed systems in production at scale, with strong systems and API design experience.
- Event Streaming / Log-Based Architecture: Hands-on with Kafka or a comparable log/streaming system; topic and partition design, consumer-group semantics, delivery guarantees, replay, and schema-registry integration.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to have
- Integrating agent or CV runtimes onto an event pipeline as pluggable consumers.

- LVT is building an agentic AI platform that enables autonomous agents that perceive real-world environments, reason over them, and act.
- This role builds and hardens the cloud backbone of that platform the event pipeline agents consume from and act through, and the context stores they query.
- You'll own the cloud-side reliability, throughput, and scale of the event pipeline, the router/dispatcher that fans events to intelligence services, the projections that make events queryable (including the agent-facing, MCP-exposed context layer), and the observability that keeps it healthy under load.
- You'll partner closely with the edge team that produces events, the data team that owns the lakehouse you feed, infrastructure/operations who run the managed log and broker, and the engineers building the agent and CV workflows that consume your platform.
- Scale ingress and projections: Stand up and scale the materialized stores the pipeline serves from (operational hot store, cold capture into the lakehouse), keeping each projection fit to its access pattern and rebuildable from the log.
