About the Role

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.

You'll often need to travel to customer locations in the UK and across the world. The locations could be their offices, or they could be at testing or exercise sites "in the field". Once there you'll need to figure out unfamiliar systems, engage directly with users and deploy Arondite's products by writing code that solves their use cases.

Responsibilities

• Travelling to customer sites to meet users and understand their use cases
• Deploying our products into customer environments
• Writing code to connect data sources and to solve specific customer problems
• Interfacing with and testing autonomous and robotic systems in the field
• Iterating with customers to refine implementations to maximize 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

Requirements

• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical/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 of a diverse technology stack

Right to Work

We require that all candidates have an existing right to work in the UK at the time of application.

Security Clearance

You will be required 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 five years.

Office vs Hybrid Working

We are focused on building a positive, collaborative engineering‑driven culture. We therefore encourage working from the office where possible. Travel to visit customers is expected; you should be excited to work in person by default.

Benefits

• Highly competitive base salary
• Generous equity in EMI share options in a well‑funded and growing startup
• 7% employer pension contribution
• Free meals in the office every day
• Private health and dental insurance, with opt‑in cover for dependents
