Software Engineer, DevOps

We are defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century's most innovative companies to the defense industry. We are changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Our company is a family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, we are committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Platform Discovery team is at the forefront of incubating and maturing high-potential, software-defined, AI-native offerings that address the toughest new challenges across hardware, software, space, and cyber domains. The team architects mission autonomy and mesh networking, delivering scalable hardware solutions that support urgent national security needs. By working closely with elite groups in Perception, AI, Motion Planning, Hardware, Test Engineering, Space, Networking, and Vehicle Hardware, the team builds cutting-edge, end-to-end systems that redefine mission success.

ABOUT THE JOB

As a software engineer on the Discovery team, you will solve a wide variety of problems involving networking, autonomy, systems integration, robotics, and more-making pragmatic engineering tradeoffs along the way. Your efforts will ensure that the company's products work together seamlessly to achieve critical outcomes.

You'll collaborate with software, data, and operations engineers to turn designs into working systems-streamlining development, improving performance, and maintaining production stability as the organization scales. You'll also work with digital, manufacturing, and corporate technology teams in a high-tech, fast-paced culture of innovation focused on solving real problems and delivering results.

Above all, Software Engineers must be driven by a "whatever it takes" mindset-executing in an expedient, scalable, and pragmatic way while keeping the mission top-of-mind and making sound engineering decisions that deliver high-quality outcomes on time. You will not only build systems but also work directly with customers to deploy them.
