6d•CA$130,000 - CA$160,000•Hybrid

About The Position

At Planitar, we build technology that helps people see and understand the world’s spaces more clearly. We are the creators of iGUIDE, a powerful property technology solution that combines immersive 3D tours, accurate floor plans and reliable spatial data into a single, easy-to-use system. Our cameras and software platform are used by professionals in real estate, insurance, construction and property management to simplify their work and deliver better results. Planitar recently joined REA Group, one of the world’s leading digital property companies. REA operates Australia’s largest residential and commercial property platforms, including realestate.com.au and has a growing global footprint across Asia and North America. Together, we are shaping the future of property technology, combining Planitar’s deep spatial data expertise with REA’s global scale and innovation engine. As an Embedded Vision Developer, you will join a tight-knit engineering team building the next generation Planix capture system. You will take ownership of the core imaging and LiDAR pipeline that drives image capture, point cloud capture, real time processing, and data handoff. You’ll work closely with system engineering, product design, mobile app team, and external vendors to design and deliver new and improved data capture capabilities for the Planix product family.

Requirements

5+ years building and shipping modern C++ (C++17+) for embedded Linux.
Experience working on embedded camera systems and HW ISP.
Strong fundamentals: memory management, multithreading/concurrency, real-time constraints, HW/SW interfaces.
Ability to bridge native C++ to mobile (Objective-C++ wrappers, JNI).
Build/test/debug tooling: CMake, cross-compilation, CI/CD, unit/integration tests, gdb/system logs.
Proficient with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) for development, debugging, and code review.
Experience orchestrating AI agents to automate multi-step engineering workflows, with sound judgment on when to verify or override output.
Comfortable integrating AI tooling (prompts, skills, MCP servers) with internal build, CI, and device-debug systems.
Experience collaborating effectively with team members and other stakeholders to develop concepts from ideation, to launch, to subsequent iteration.
Ability to effectively convey complex technical concepts, especially those that span embedded and mobile domains to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment where hardware and software evolve together.
