Software Engineer, Embedded Systems

Job Description

Job Description

There are too many problems that are unaddressed in the resiliency ecosystem. These problems, while quiet, are significant; and left unsolved they create gaps that widen until systems crack and missions stall.

Valinor is a new type of defense and government tech company focused on solving the problems others don’t. Our unique model of centralized go-to-market and decentralized engineering allows us to move with unparalleled efficiency to identify unmet needs, build right-sized solutions, and get products where they matter most - in the hands of users. Unlike others in the space, who focus on the flashy problems, Valinor exists to solve the quiet, unaddressed problems–the small but significant ones that lead to cracks in the country’s strength, stability, and security.

Backed by General Catalyst, Founders Fund, and Red Cell Partners, Valinor was founded in 2024 and has established strategic partnerships with Palantir, Anduril, and Helsing. We are building the dream team, and we want you on it.

Valinor is seeking a Software Engineer to work on an immediate opportunity at one of our product companies, Valinor Reflex, focused on computer vision and wearables.

What You Will Do

• As a key member of our engineering team, you'll contribute across the stack—bridging hardware, machine learning, and user experience. Your work will span Hardware Integration & Embedded Systems; ML / AI Deployment; and Frontend Software Development.
