Infrastructure Engineer, Boston

Protex AI’s Site Intelligence platform shows industrial businesses what’s actually happening across their operations. It connects cameras, enterprise systems and operational knowledge. Computer vision turns camera footage into live operational data, and AI agents use that data to explain performance, flag what needs attention and route the fix to the right team.
Our customers are some of the world’s largest manufacturing, logistics and warehousing companies, including PepsiCo, FedEx and General Motors. We work with senior Safety and Operations leaders, giving them the visibility to run smarter, safer sites.
Protex AI raised an oversubscribed $36 million Series B led by Hedosophia, with participation from Salesforce Ventures and existing investors. Our team includes people who previously held senior roles at AWS, Microsoft and Google.
