You will build and maintain mission-critical software across the product stack, create deployment tooling and CI/CD pipelines, and integrate systems with the Lattice OS ecosystem. Key responsibilities include debugging production issues, developing operator-facing tools, and bridging the gap between algorithm development and field-deployable software. You should be proficient in Haskell, Rust, C++, Go, or TypeScript within Linux environments. This role solves complex problems in embedded systems, data pipelines, and real-time systems, requiring strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and systems concepts to support high-stakes defense operations.

What you'll do

  • Develop and maintain mission-critical software across the electronic warfare product stack.
  • Build and improve deployment tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and configuration management systems.
  • Integrate electronic warfare systems with the broader Lattice OS ecosystem.
  • Debug and resolve software issues in production and field-deployed systems.
  • Develop operator-facing tools and interfaces for high-stakes environments.
  • Bridge the gap between algorithm development and field-deployable software with embedded and DSP engineers.
  • Participate in field deployments, integration events, and customer engagements.
  • Maintain engineering quality through code reviews, testing, and technical documentation.

What we're looking for

  • 1–4 years of professional software engineering experience or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in at least one of Haskell, Rust, C++, Go, or TypeScript.
  • Comfort working in Linux environments.
  • Strong computer science fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, and systems concepts.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance.
  • Willingness to travel up to 30%.
