About The Position

ASI's mission-critical technology powers decision-making across aviation, defense, energy, and other critical infrastructure domains. Backed by top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Spark Capital, and Renegade Partners, ASI delivers operational decision superiority—compressing days of analysis into seconds of action. ASI is leading the way and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

As a Technical Lead on the Defense team, you'll lead a small team of engineers while staying hands-on, guiding implementation from design through delivery. Your work will span building innovative products from scratch (0 to 1) and evolving existing systems as they scale (1 to n). You'll operate in a fast-paced environment where you'll help set the standard for technical excellence, working alongside a cross-functional team of platform engineers, domain experts, deployment strategists, and end users. You'll solve real problems that make a difference — putting better decision-making platforms in operators' hands and improving the safety of our airspace.
