Job description

Overview

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 sensors, robots 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.

Responsibilities

We work closely alongside our customers to deploy our technology. As a Deployed Software Engineer at Arondite, you'll be responsible for implementing our technology with customers so that it effectively solves their real-world problems. You’ll collect feedback from end users and work with the wider engineering team to contribute back to the development of core product features.

• Travelling to customer sites in Ukraine to meet users and understand their use-cases
• Deploying our products into customer environments
• Writing code to connect up data sources and to solve specific customer problems
• Interfacing and testing with autonomous and robotic systems in the field
• Iterating with customers to refine the implementation to maximise user value
• Collaborating with other deployed engineers with diverse skill sets, including AI/ML, networking, and robotics
• Driving a culture of excellence within the deployed team and the wider company

Qualifications

You should have:

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical/scientific subject
• Strong core programming skills in object orientated languages such as Python, C++ or Java
• Knowledge of frameworks such as Angular or React
• Front-end development experience in TypeScript or JavaScript
• A deep enthusiasm for expanding your knowledge of a diverse technology stack
• Strong customer-facing communication skills
• Willingness to travel and work on-site with customers for a significant proportion of your time

Ideally, you would also have:

• Understanding of working on embedded / resource constrained devices
• Interest with/experience in working with low-level languages such as C or Rust
• Experience of working with legacy systems
• Experience with SQL databases such as PostgreSQL
• Experience of machine learning applications
• Passion for/experience working with hardware
• Some degree of fluency in Ukrainian, Russian, or other applicable regional languages

Note: We want Arondite to bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We don’t expect everyone to have experience across each of these areas. Please apply even if you only partially fulfil this list.

Security clearance

We believe in working closely with defence 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 working

We are focused on building a positive, collaborative engineering-driven culture. We therefore 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 for you to work from home and that's OK. You may also need to travel to visit customers, depending on your role. But in general you should only apply to join Arondite if you're excited to come into the office and work in person by default.

Application process

Generally, our interview process is comprised of the following stages:

1. CV submission with initial questions
2. Introductory Teams call (30 mins)
3. In-person technical interview (1-2 hours)
4. Final interview with one of Arondite’s Founders (30 mins)

Benefits

• Highly competitive base salary
• Generous equity in EMI share options in a well-funded and growing startup
• 7% employer pension contribution
• Free breakfast and lunch every day; free pizza and beers weekly
• Private health and dental insurance
• Cycle to work scheme
• Relocation support
• Visa sponsorship for extremely strong candidates
• Access to any resources, equipment and training that you need to do your job in a world-class way
• The opportunity to work with and learn from exceptional colleagues with excellent academic experience and deep industry knowledge
