Software Engineer (IoT • Sensors • Computer Vision)

Company Description

GroundTruth Analytics transforms real-world parking behavior into actionable insights for commercial real estate owners, retail REITs, and mixed-use developers. Using a network of modern sensors, parking pucks, LoRaWAN gateways, and LPR (license plate recognition) systems, we turn raw activity into clean zone-level data that powers rent decisions, wayfinding, tenant mix planning, and operations.

We help properties understand :

Which zones outperform

How visitors circulate

Where congestion forms

How events and holidays impact traffic

Where incremental sales opportunities sit

We’re building the intelligence layer for physical real estate.

What you'll work on

Integrating IoT sensors, parking pucks, and LPR devices

Building reliable data ingestion pipelines (LoRaWAN, MQTT, REST)

Designing services to process high-volume sensor activity

Building computer-vision or OCR components for LPR & traffic flow

Contributing to dashboards for zone-level occupancy & analytics

Working with geospatial, time-series, and mobility datasets

Improving data quality, fault tolerance, and event processing

Supporting new product lines around wayfinding, heatmaps, etc.
