The problem

Voxel turns existing security cameras into a safety system for warehouses and manufacturing sites, spotting risks on the floor as they happen. Growing that product meant hiring computer vision engineers who could ship models to real sites, and the pool of people who have done that is small and heavily courted. Melica worked as part of Voxel's team, joining stand-ups with the engineering leads and representing the company directly to candidates. That meant she could explain the product, the deployment challenges and the culture the way an insider would. She searched for engineers who had taken models out of the lab and into messy, real environments: robotics, autonomous vehicles, retail analytics. Every shortlist came with a short write-up on each candidate's technical depth and why they would suit the team.
