Experience: 5+ Years

Location: Kolkata | Work from Office

Department: Engineering / Product Development

Role OverviewETIOT is looking for a hands-on Video Analytics (VA) & Video Management System (VMS) Engineer with strong software development, video integration, and AI-powered computer vision experience. The candidate will work on integrating IP Cameras/CCTV systems, video streaming protocols, VMS platforms, and AI/ML-based analytics to build scalable, real-time video intelligence solutions across edge, cloud, and hybrid environments.

The role requires practical expertise in video processing, system integration, performance optimization, and deploying production-ready video surveillance and analytics applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, integrate, and deploy Video Management Systems (VMS) and Video Analytics (VA) solutions supporting IP Cameras/CCTV, live video streaming, recording, playback, storage, and retention.
• Implement and troubleshoot ONVIF, RTSP/RTP, and related video streaming protocols, including interoperability across camera brands, codecs such as H.264/H.265, and third-party VMS platforms.
• Build real-time video processing and computer vision pipelines for object detection, object tracking, people and vehicle detection, ANPR/LPR, face detection/recognition, perimeter intrusion detection, loitering detection, PPE detection, crowd/behavior analytics, and video event detection.
• Develop and optimize AI/ML and Deep Learning models using OpenCV, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar frameworks.
• Work with C++ (strongly preferred) and Python for video processing, analytics integration, system development, and debugging.
• Leverage FFmpeg/GStreamer, NVIDIA CUDA, and TensorRT for video pipeline development, GPU acceleration, and inference optimization.
• Design and integrate REST APIs, WebSocket interfaces, microservices, and API-first components for seamless communication between VMS, analytics engines, and external applications.
• Deploy and maintain solutions on Linux-based systems using Docker/Kubernetes, with data storage and messaging components involving PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, or equivalent technologies.
• Contribute to VMS Architecture, Video Analytics Architecture, System Design, and Product Architecture for distributed, multi-camera deployments.
• Support edge AI, cloud/hybrid video processing, GPU-based processing, and distributed video processing architectures.
• Build scalable, highly available, real-time video solutions with multi-camera architecture and, where applicable, multi-tenant SaaS capabilities.
• Conduct integration testing, performance benchmarking, troubleshooting, and production deployment across different hardware and software environments.

Required Technical Skills

• Video & VMS: Video Management System (VMS), Video Analytics (VA), IP Camera/CCTV integration, Video Streaming, Video Recording & Playback, Video Storage & Retention.
• Protocols & Codecs: ONVIF, RTSP/RTP, H.264/H.265.
• AI/ML & Computer Vision: Deep Learning, OpenCV, Object Detection, Object Tracking, ANPR/LPR, Face Detection/Recognition, People & Vehicle Detection, Perimeter Intrusion Detection, Crowd/Behavior Analytics, PPE Detection, Loitering Detection, and Video Event Detection.
• Programming & Video Processing: C++ (strongly preferred), Python, FFmpeg/GStreamer.
• AI Acceleration & Frameworks: NVIDIA CUDA, TensorRT, PyTorch, TensorFlow.
• Backend & Integration: REST APIs, WebSocket, Microservices.
• Infrastructure & Data: Linux, Docker/Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, or equivalent technologies.
