What they're building

Expanding the enterprise offering strong signal

Today: Enterprise offering giving real-time situational awareness to hospitals, venue operators and corporate security teams (Account Executive posting)

Roles: Account Executive · Finance and Business Operations Manager · Head of Product, Applied AI · Senior Backend Engineer · Head of Growth, Applied AI

Requirements mention: Enterprise offering · full-cycle B2B software sales · deal desk · quota setting · commission accruals · enterprise consoles · Enterprise, API, MCP, and partners · enterprise marketing

Inference: enterprise appears in five of eight postings, and the Finance and Business Operations Manager posting says the company is expanding its enterprise business. With quota setting, deal desk and commissions listed, this points to a repeatable enterprise sales process, starting with one remote Account Executive.

Applied AI product work spanning the consumer app, subscriptions and enterprise products moderate signal

Today: Consumer app with Protect and Premium subscriptions, plus enterprise consoles and an API (Head of Product, Applied AI posting)

Roles: Head of Product, Applied AI · Product Designer, Applied AI

Requirements mention: product architecture · pricing and packaging · enterprise consoles · agent team · AI agents · paywalls

Inference: the Head of Product posting asks for product architecture, pricing and packaging, and enterprise consoles, and the designer posting lists paywalls and pricing. This suggests product and pricing work is being organised across the consumer app, subscriptions and enterprise products together.

AI agents in the real-time incident pipeline moderate signal

Today: Real-time pipeline where signal from major American cities is detected, verified, written and delivered (Senior Backend Engineer posting)

Roles: Senior Backend Engineer · Head of Product, Applied AI

Requirements mention: AI in the pipeline · real-time pipeline · Internal operator tooling · 911 radio · CAD feeds · agent team

Inference: the Head of Product posting describes agents that listen, verify, write and route while people hold the judgment calls, and the backend posting lists AI in the pipeline. This suggests more of the verification and writing steps will be handled by agents, with human review.

Next version of the consumer iOS app moderate signal

Today: Consumer iOS app

Roles: Senior iOS Engineer · Product Designer, Applied AI

Requirements mention: Swift 6 with strict concurrency · The Composable Architecture (TCA) · background execution · location · push · phased rollout

Inference: both postings describe the next version as live, ambient and personal, and the iOS posting lists background execution, location and push. This suggests an app that alerts users in the background based on where they are; scope and timing are not stated.

Live on-camera broadcasting from Mission Control weak signal

Today: Mission Control operations that verify incidents from scanner audio and incident feeds (Live Safety Broadcaster posting)

Roles: Live Safety Broadcaster

Requirements mention: live broadcast · on-camera hosting · live stream · narrating events in real time · Mission Control studio

None; the signal is weak (one role).

Citizen, the New York public-safety app these postings describe (not Citizen Watch of citizen.co.jp), has eight open roles, five posted in the last 30 days and none closed, with seven in New York City and four in PEDD, so hiring is concentrated in New York product and engineering.

Who they need

Seniority: Three senior roles, one director, one manager, one VP, one mid-level and one with no level stated.

Skills named most: Swift, Swift 6 with strict concurrency, The Composable Architecture (TCA), Go, Python, Kubernetes, Figma, SwiftUI, full-cycle B2B software sales, HubSpot, forecasting, pricing and packaging

Locations: Seven roles are in New York City, not remote. The Account Executive role is remote; the posting does not state a country for it.

How to use this

If you're applying: Five of the eight roles opened in the last 30 days and none have closed. Check each posting's hard requirements before applying, especially the New York City location on seven of eight roles. Only the Account Executive role is remote.

If you're selling or recruiting: PEDD is the largest group, with four New York City roles. The Account Executive is the only remote role; it lists on-target earnings of $170,000 plus equity, and no base salary is stated. For sales-tool vendors, the Account Executive posting names HubSpot, Apollo, Sales Navigator, data enrichment tools and dialers. For finance and billing vendors, the Finance and Business Operations Manager posting covers deal desk, order-to-cash, billing, revenue recognition and commissions.
