Edge Processing Solutions Engineer

About the role

The company builds Go-based software systems that run at the tactical edge, disconnected and resource-constrained, often airborne or forward-deployed, covering ISR data pipelines, autonomous platform integration and a Kubernetes runtime. This role leads an engineering team of up to 8 engineers on a new effort growing out of an established program, owning technical direction end-to-end, including architecture, delivery, customer engagement and the people doing the work. It is a hands-on lead role with the expectation to also be in the codebase.

Key responsibilities

• Lead architecture and delivery of an edge software product line from prototype through fielded capability.
• Build and maintain Go services that operate in disconnected and intermittently connected environments.
• Design Kubernetes-native systems, including workload architecture, Helm charts, custom controllers or operators, and a clean split between platform and application concerns.
• Own the Kubernetes runtime story, including K3S on edge hardware, image distribution into air-gapped enclaves, GPU scheduling and read-only root filesystems.
• Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines such as GitLab CI or GitHub Actions producing signed, scanned and reproducible artifacts.
• Integrate with tactical data standards such as Cursor on Target or TAK and ISR sensor pipelines.
• Mentor engineers, set technical standards and run code reviews with a high bar.
• Interface with the customer to translate operator needs into technical requirements and back again, and support proposal and capture work.

Required profile

• 6+ years of software engineering experience in a professional environment.
• 2+ years in a technical lead or engineering lead role.
• Experience using Go as a primary systems language for production.
• Experience deploying and operating Kubernetes in production.
• Systems-level Linux experience, including networking, filesystems such as overlays or tempfs, and containers.
• Ability to mentor engineers and raise the technical bar of a team.
• Secret clearance; applicants are subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for classified information.
• Bachelor's degree.

Nice to have

• Experience with the CoT or TAK ecosystem (TAK Server, ATAK, WINTAK, CoT messages).
• ISR, UAS or autonomous platform software such as PX4, ArduPilot, MAVLink or sensor integration.
• NVIDIA Jetson or edge GPU scheduling, device plugins, MIG and CUDA on Kubernetes.
• Writing whitepapers, capability briefs or technical proposals.
• Disconnected or air-gapped software delivery, including image syncing and registry mirroring.
• Rust or modern C++ for production, and K3S, MicroK8s or similar on constrained hardware.

What we offer

• Projected annual salary range of $112,800 to $257,000.
• Health, life, disability, financial and retirement benefits, paid leave, professional development, tuition assistance, work-life programs and dependent care.
• A recognition awards program for exceptional performance.
