Job description

About the company

Arondite is a defence technology company building the foundational software and AI to power the autonomous age. Our aim is to revolutionise the way organisations collaborate with robots, sensors 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. You will join Arondite at a pivotal moment in the company's journey. Our company is being built by 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 problems. You will have ownership and autonomy from Day One. There is no corporate ladder 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. If you are motivated by our mission and if you want to be part of a growing team of outstanding people, then we want to hear from you.

About the role

We work closely alongside our customers to deploy our technology. As a Deployed Software Engineer at Arondite, you will be responsible for implementing our technology with customers so that it effectively solves their real‑world problems. You will collect feedback from end users and work with the wider engineering team to contribute back to the development of core product features. As we expand into Canada, this role is intended to help build Arondite's deployed capability in a market where trusted relationships, local context and close collaboration with defence stakeholders matter.

Ottawa is the proposed base for this effort because of its proximity to the Department of National Defence (DND), Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), federal partners and the wider public‑sector ecosystem. You will often need to travel to customer locations in Canada and, at times, internationally. These may include offices, test facilities, ranges, exercise environments and operationally relevant field locations. Once there, you will need to understand unfamiliar systems, engage directly with users and deploy Arondite's products by writing code that solves real use cases. This is an opportunity to embed deeply with customers, work at the intersection of engineering and real‑world operations, and help shape the direction of our platform based on how it performs in demanding environments.

You should be comfortable working independently, handling ambiguity and representing Arondite credibly with technical and non‑technical stakeholders alike.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Travelling to customer sites to meet users and understand their use cases
• Building secure, robust software by adhering to secure coding standards and internal security policies throughout the development lifecycle
• Deploying our products into customer environments
• Interfacing with and testing autonomous and robotic systems in the field
• Integrating with unfamiliar platforms, data sources and operational systems as required by customer needs
• Iterating with customers to refine implementations and maximise user value
• Collaborating with other deployed engineers with diverse skill sets, including AI/ML, networking and robotics
• Collecting lessons from the field and turning them into product insight for the wider engineering team
• Helping build Arondite's understanding of Canadian defence and public‑sector operating environments
• Driving a culture of excellence within the deployed team and the wider company

You should have:

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related technical or scientific subject
• Strong core programming skills in either server‑side languages such as C++, Java, Rust or Python, or front‑end development in TypeScript or JavaScript using frameworks such as Angular or React
• A deep enthusiasm for expanding your knowledge across a diverse technology stack
• Strong customer‑facing communication skills
• Willingness to travel and work on‑site with customers
• The ability to work effectively in fast‑moving environments where requirements may evolve quickly
• The confidence to engage with complex technical systems and solve practical integration problems
• A high level of ownership, initiative and comfort operating autonomously from day one

What you can expect

You will be a key part of our early team in Canada, with significant opportunity to take on leadership responsibilities should you wish. Depending on your experience you may find yourself taking on a leadership role straight away. We know the ideal candidate may not match every line item exactly. If this role is close to your experience and you are motivated by the mission, we would still
