About The Position

You'll join a small, high-output engineering team building software systems for defense technology products. Our stack spans embedded systems, real-time control, cloud services, and data pipelines — the right candidate will own significant surface area across more than one of these. We move fast, ship frequently, and hold a high bar for reliability and correctness.

Requirements

• 7+ years of professional software engineering, with demonstrable ownership of production systems.
• Strong fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and systems design.
• Fluency in at least one of: Python, Go, Rust, C/C++, or TypeScript — and genuine comfort picking up new languages.
• Experience designing and maintaining distributed systems or service-oriented architectures.
• Strong debugging instincts — you find hard bugs methodically, not by luck.
• Working English, written and verbal.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in defense, aerospace, robotics, or other regulated/safety-critical domains.
• Background in real-time or embedded software, or comfort working close to hardware.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, or platform engineering.
• Familiarity with government cloud environments (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government).
• Prior work on C2 systems, sensor fusion, or autonomous systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and own core software systems end-to-end — from architecture decisions through production deployment.
• Write clean, testable, well-documented code that other engineers can build on confidently.
• Lead technical design reviews; identify failure modes before they reach production.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, mechanical, and systems engineers — understand the constraints their work imposes on yours.
• Own reliability: define SLOs, build observability, respond to incidents, and drive root-cause resolution.
• Hire and mentor junior engineers and raise the technical bar of the team through code review and shared standards.
