About The Position

We are looking for a Backend Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience to design and build the production systems that determine how supplies, equipment, and critical resources move through complex military logistics networks. You'll join a fast-moving defense tech startup that just closed a $40M Series A and is embedded directly with U.S. military units — building software that replaces whiteboards and magnets with a real-time AI-enabled logistics platform.

Requirements

• Recently built and owned backend systems that move goods or vehicles: dispatch, routing, fleet assignment, shipment execution or tracking, last-mile or freight movement (current or most recent role)
• 2 - 8 years of experience in backend/distributed systems engineering, ideally in Go
• Owned production-grade distributed systems end-to-end — architecture through deployment and operations
• Experience at a fast-moving startup or high-velocity product company (not purely Big Tech or legacy defense contractors)
• BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent
• Strong proficiency in Go, C++, Java, or Rust (Go strongly preferred as primary production language)
• Distributed systems expertise : service architecture, async messaging, event-driven systems, state reconciliation
• U.S. Citizen or able to obtain security clearance
• 7+ years of backend or distributed systems engineering experience with substantial ownership of production-grade software
• Demonstrated experience building production systems in logistics, transportation, fulfillment, routing, dispatch, supply chain, or a similarly complex operational domain
• Strong programming skills in Go, C++, Java, Rust, or another performant language
• Deep understanding of distributed systems concepts — service architecture, async processing, messaging, state management, and failure handling
• Ability to independently lead complex technical projects from ambiguous problem definition through deployment and production operation

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture and development of backend services powering distribution capabilities across TyrOS — including routing, dispatch, shipment execution, and dynamic replanning
• Translate real-world military logistics workflows into durable domain models, APIs, and event-driven systems in Go
• Build systems that reconcile inventory, demand, transportation capacity, and operational constraints across distributed networks — even in degraded or contested environments
• Integrate optimization and planning capabilities into operational software, turning algorithmic recommendations into reliable, executable workflows
• Partner directly with military users and domain experts to identify high-leverage problems and convert ambiguous requirements into scalable software

Benefits

• 100% employer-paid medical/dental/vision premiums
• 401(k)
• flexible PTO
• December holiday shutdown
