Axis is hiring an Engineering Manager on the French Riviera, where the Alps meet the sea!
Lead our Sophia-Antipolis video analytics team and help shape the future of AI-based analytics running on millions of cameras worldwide.
Do you get your energy from developing people and helping a team deliver? Do you want to work with cutting-edge AI where you have real influence on product direction? As Engineering Manager – Video Analytics, you will make sure our engineers have the support, structure and coaching they need to build products that matter.
We are an international team of around 15 computer vision and graphics, AI and software engineers in Sophia-Antipolis. Today the team is organized into sub-teams that form around the features and products we build. We also work hand in hand with a dedicated QA team based on the same site. Together we cover the full chain of video analytics: research, data, algorithm and product development, accuracy evaluation and quality assurance to deliver and maintain market-ready products. We work closely with the other analytics teams across Axis R&D sites as well as other software, hardware and product management teams.
Our secret? Passion, kindness and knowledge sharing, all in a great place to live and work.
What you'll do here as Engineering Manager?
You will lead the team and report to the Site Manager. This is a hands-on role: beyond people management, you will do project management work and own how the team plans and delivers – backlog, priorities, project coordination, and the path from innovation work to product. As AI changes the way software is built, this role will evolve too: you will help define what engineering management looks like in an AI-augmented team, and how planning, delivery and people development adapt.
Your main tasks will be to:
You have a strong technical interest and enjoy driving strategic and technical initiatives. You lead from a people perspective. You create a safe environment for coaching, feedback and collaboration, and you know how to combine listening with deciding. You challenge engineers constructively, help them prioritize, make clear trade-offs and keep the team focused on what matters most. You are comfortable working across sites and cultures, and you are curious about how AI is changing the way software products are built.
We’re looking for someone who embodies Axis’ values – openness, teamwork and collaboration – and who enjoys turning ideas into structured, high-impact results in a dynamic R&D environment.
We'd love to hear that you have/are:
Bonus points for experience in:
Join a global leader in network video and work with modern technologies alongside highly skilled colleagues around the world. You will have real room to shape the team, its ways of working and its products.
This is an on-site role at our Sophia-Antipolis office. As part of the team there, you’ll enjoy a caring environment, sustainable mobility incentives, a corporate bonus, ongoing training and self-development, comprehensive insurance and a pension plan, plus additional local perks. You’ll also collaborate closely with our teams in Sweden, with opportunities to travel for onboarding, management forums and joint projects.
Axis is an equal-opportunity employer and is committed to responsible business and has signed the United Nations Global Compact, a worldwide initiative for corporate sustainability.
