We believe that credible deterrence of armed conflict and winning if deterrence fails, requires more than just the best drones, sensors, weapons, electronic warfare systems, and command & control capabilities. Those critical components will require sustained electric power in austere and resource-constrained environments. Moreover, military units must be able to turn off the trucks and generators that generate this power to hide and survive. In other words, power generation must be decoupled from power consumption. Chariot Defense’s products enable exactly this capability, allowing U.S. and allied militaries to be more lethal and survivable. We hope you will join us on this mission.</span></p> <p></p></div><h2><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 3">About the Role</span></span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"134245418":true,"134245529":true,"335559738":281,"335559739":281}"> </span></h2> <p data-renderer-start-pos="55" data-local-id="326dca6517bf">Our product spans the entire software stack, from the embedded controls running on rugged hardware, through the networking and data plumbing in between, up to the databases and cloud systems that store and make sense of it all. We're looking for a true generalist who is comfortable everywhere on that spectrum: someone who can follow a piece of data from a sensor on the hardware all the way to a dashboard, and write code at every stop along the way. Your core competency is systems programming (C, C++, Rust), but you’ve had real exposure to the higher layers; services, databases, and cloud deployments.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="666" data-local-id="8ae95b715584">You'll be the connective tissue across our stack, taking on the high-leverage work that falls between specialized roles and keeps the whole system moving. A hardware sensibility matters here. This is software on physical hardware enabling higher-level capability, and we want someone energized by that full picture. Our team comes from Tesla, Anduril, Apple, Archer, and the U.S. military, and we're already fielded across DoD. This is a high-ownership, high-autonomy role for an engineer who'd rather see the whole product than live in one lane.</p> <h2><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 3">Key Responsibilities</span></span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"134245418":true,"134245529":true,"335559738":281,"335559739":281}"> </span></h2> <ul> <li data-renderer-start-pos="1239" data-local-id="b3aa804639b9"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Work across the stack:</strong> Move fluidly between low-level embedded work and higher-level services, picking up whatever layer needs attention rather than staying confined to one.</li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1416" data-local-id="a3f76e94a0fa"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Bridge hardware and cloud:</strong> Build the pipelines that carry telemetry off our devices, through intermittently connected networks, and into databases and cloud environments where it can be stored, monitored, and analyzed.</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1638" data-local-id="f87404dc4c7a"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Build the higher layers:</strong> Stand up and maintain the back-end services, databases, and cloud infrastructure that turn raw device data into something useful.</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1796" data-local-id="e239f3b60f06"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Apply systems programming where it counts:</strong> Bring low-level expertise to the places where performance and direct hardware interaction matter.</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1940" data-local-id="b33efd754ad5"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Fill the gaps:</strong> Own the pieces that fall between specialized roles — often where products stall — and keep the system end-to-end coherent.</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="2081" data-local-id="fdff4f6d0339"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Cross-functional collaboration:</strong> Work across firmware, embedded Linux, manufacturing, and product to connect the layers and unblock the team wherever the work demands it.</p> </li> </ul> <h2><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 3">What </span><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 3">We’re</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 3"> Looking For</span></span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"134245418":true,"134245529":true,"335559738":281,"335559739":281}"> </span></h2> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="3" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}">Top-notch engineering intuition and first principles thinking toward designing complex products that function seamlessly for your customer, taking both an engineering/ technical, and product/ customer approach, to strike the optimal balance. </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="3" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"><spa
