About Arondite

Arondite is a new defence deep tech company building the foundational software and AI to power the autonomous age. Our aim is to revolutionise the way organisations collaborate with robotic and autonomous systems and use the data they generate. We are driven by our determination to help defend our collective democratic values and by our strong belief that an elite group of engineers can make a big difference. We are ambitious, well-funded and building for the long-term.

If you are motivated by our mission and if you want to be part of a growing team of outstanding engineers, then we want to hear from you.

Requirements

About the role

Arondite is looking for an experienced and versatile software engineer to lead our growing software engineering team. You should have 5+ years of development experience in building complex, multi-user systems, and have spent some time managing or mentoring other engineers. Whilst this is a senior role, you will still be writing code in various languages including TypeScript, Python and Rust on a daily basis. To help you decide if Arondite is for you, here's what you can expect:

You will join Arondite at a pivotal moment in the company’s journey. Our company’s future will be built on a foundation of exceptional engineers, people who find high-impact and technically challenging work engaging and exciting, and who consistently deliver outsized impact. You will collaborate with other brilliant minds to solve some of the world’s hardest and most important engineering problems.

You will have ownership and autonomy from Day One. There is a flat hierarchy at Arondite. From your first day, you will directly influence the design, functionality, and direction of Arondite’s product offering. We hire the best people and give them extremely high levels of autonomy; the sky is the limit for an individual with the right ambition.

You will design and build software to enable autonomous systems to collaborate, process vast quantities of data, and take meaningful action. You will iterate closely with and enhance the capabilities of end users who do globally impactful work. The software you create will present complex information in an intuitive way to enable humans to task, control and supervise multiple robotic and autonomous systems.

In particular, you should apply if you:

• Are an ambitious builder with extremely strong software engineering skills
• Have designed, implemented and delivered enterprise-level software
• Care about the ethical defence of sovereign democracies
• Want to work closely with cutting-edge AI and integrate with edge hardware
• Want to see your work used with impact in the real-world (affecting atoms, not just bits)

Security clearance

We believe in working closely with customers. As a result, this role will require the individual to hold a clearance or be willing to undergo UK security vetting to Security Check (SC) or above. This normally requires having continuous residency in the UK for at least 5 years.

Office vs Hybrid

We are focused on building a positive, collaborative engineering culture. As a result, we believe in making the office a friendly, comfortable and fun place to be and we try to work from the office where possible. Of course, there are times when it makes sense to work from home and that's OK. You may also need to travel to visit customers. But in general, you should only apply to join Arondite if you're excited to come into the office and work in person more often than not.
