Connected outdoor IoT devices and surveillance with cellular connectivity
Tactacam manufactures cellular-enabled outdoor hardware across three brands: trail cameras, surveillance systems, and smart bird feeders. The tech stack reflects a hardware-to-cloud operation (SolidWorks, Altium Designer for design; AWS Lambda, AWS CDK for backend; Magento, Adobe Commerce for DTC/retail sales). Current hiring heavily favors product and engineering roles at senior/director levels, with active projects spanning production ramp, new product launches, and AI platform roadmap development — indicating a scaling phase focused on both volume manufacturing and software capability expansion.
