Recruiter - HQ

About the Role

LENS is building technology aimed at preventing traffic accidents before they occur by spotting hazards in real time. As a Recruiter, you will help shape the team behind that mission and play a direct role in bringing in people who are motivated by high-impact work.

Mission

The company’s goal is to eliminate traffic accidents by identifying risks early and intervening before harm occurs. Its platform analyzes CCTV video from highways and helps public safety agencies and transportation departments respond quickly to dangerous situations such as disabled vehicles, stalled big rigs, and pedestrians on freeways.

Platform & Product

LENS Detect reviews live CCTV streams from highways to find hazards before they become accidents. When the system flags an issue, a dispatcher checks the alert on the dashboard and then sends an officer to the location to help. The intended outcome is to stop crashes from happening or to save lives when people are in danger.
