Software Engineer, Research & Development

In this role, you will help design and deliver data-driven capabilities within our Installation Resilience Platform, with a focus on applied AI and large-scale operational data. You'll build cloud-native components that support machine learning workflows, integrate with sensor and cybersecurity systems, and make complex infrastructure data accessible through natural language interfaces. This position combines production-grade software development with real-world mission relevance. Occasional travel for on-site collaboration or operational support may be required.

We're looking for candidates who thrive in cloud-native, remote-first environments and who bring a mix of software engineering experience and interest in AI-driven capabilities. Our stack includes Amazon Web Services, containerized workloads, and data from operational environments demanding reliability, security, and clarity. You don't need to meet every listed qualification as we value curiosity, learning, and the ability to contribute meaningfully to a small, high-trust team working on real-world challenges.
