Flycatcher | Lugano, Switzerland | Early-Stage Founding Team | Initial Work for Equity
What we do
Flycatcher builds unsupervised anomaly detection software for industrial inspections. Our system runs on edge devices and detects defects without the need for extensive training datasets.
Incubated at the USI Startup Centre, supported by the NVIDIA Inception program, and funded by Venture Kick, we are a small team working closely with early customers in transportation and logistics (including SBB and Contrepair) to deploy our technology in the real world.
You will be the foundation of our engineering team. We need a talent dense enough to set the technical standard for everyone we hire after you. If you don't push us to be better, this isn't the right fit.
Tasks
What you'll do
As part of the founding team, your mission is to work elbow-to-elbow with the founders to deliver our current products to customers while building the future platform of Flycatcher. You will wear many hats and lead our engineering efforts across the full technology stack:
Technical Discovery: Alongside executing the immediate roadmap, you will collaborate closely with the founders to define our technical strategy, actively figuring out the architecture and features needed for our next phase of growth.
AI & Core Tech: Design and implement computer vision models for real-time defect detection using our Python-native stack ( PyTorch, timm, W&B ).
Edge Deployment: Deploy and optimize models on resource-constrained hardware directly at logistics gates ( NVIDIA Jetson Orin, TensorRT, ONNX, Docker ).
Backend & Infrastructure: Build the APIs and data pipelines that connect the edge to the cloud ( FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Celery/
