Senior Software Engineer - Autonomous Systems

SeattleHybrid$145K - $275K4 - 10 years
Modern defense and government operations are drowning in raw sensor data, yet starving for actionable, real-time command and control. This role tackles that bottleneck head-on, wiring up the backend services that let autonomous platforms interpret their surroundings and execute complex missions with minimal human intervention. You will architect the critical C2 pipelines that bridge low-level machine intelligence with high-stakes operational decisions, turning fragmented data streams into cohesive autonomous action.

What they're looking for

  • 4-10 years of software engineering experience building resilient backend or distributed systems.
  • Production proficiency in Rust, Python, C/C++, or Java, with deep familiarity in at least one.
  • Proven ability to design robust service architectures for complex, data-heavy platforms.
  • Strong interest in autonomous systems, robotics, or command and control domains.
