Real-time sensor and computer-vision data platform for smart cities and retail
Upciti operates edge-based sensor and computer-vision infrastructure for urban and retail environments, built on Kubernetes, Kafka, MQTT, and NATS. The stack reflects a distributed, privacy-first architecture processing data at the edge. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering and product roles (all senior-level), with five open positions signaling rapid growth after the initial 2017 founding phase.
Upciti supplies localized, real-time sensor and image-analysis data for smart-city and retail applications. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Montreuil, France, the company applies computer-vision AI and privacy-compliant sensor technology to optimize flows of goods and people in urban and commercial spaces. The product runs on edge hardware and cloud infrastructure (OVHcloud, Kubernetes), collecting and processing data locally before central aggregation. Current development focuses on IoT dashboards, backend scalability, service-mesh deployment, and detection-algorithm tooling.
Python, Kubernetes, Kafka, MQTT, NATS, RabbitMQ, Istio, Prometheus, Grafana, and Vue/TypeScript for frontend. Infrastructure runs on OVHcloud with Helm orchestration and PostHog for analytics.
Fleet IoT dashboards, computer-vision detection-algorithm integration, backend IoT infrastructure, Kubernetes and service-mesh evolution, observability with Grafana/Prometheus, and real-time data visualization for urban and retail flow management.
