About Rune

Rune Technologies is here to revolutionize the status quo of military logistics and sustainment through the deployment of AI-enabled solutions. Combining elite Silicon Valley software expertise with deep operational experience working in and with the Department of Defense, Rune builds cutting-edge software to solve the most critical logistics challenges faced by the U.S. military and its allies. Rune’s flagship product is TyrOS, an advanced software platform to enhance logistics at tactical and operational echelons, providing unified, comprehensive management of inventory, personnel, equipment and distribution. TyrOS integrates critical information for holistic, data-driven logistics decisions, leveraging AI for decision support, predictive analytics and optimization at machine speed. Rune’s mission is to support and enable the military logistics and sustainment communities with software to meet needs for the next fight.

About the Role

At Rune Technologies, we are building the logistics technology backbone that the U.S. and allied militaries need to dominate in large-scale combat operations. As a Software Engineer at Rune, you will be part of a small, high-impact team working at the intersection of advanced logistics algorithms, modern AI enabled software, and complex system integrations — all in support of the warfighter at the tactical edge.

You’ll join us in our mission to bring 21st-century software to the sustainment domain — modernizing inventory management, transportation optimization, and predictive maintenance with state-of-the-art user experiences. You’ll work closely with a team of experienced engineers, product designers, and operational experts who care deeply about delivering real-world impact.

Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and deploy robust software solutions that address the DoD’s hardest logistics technology challenges.
  • Collaborate with the team to develop TyrOS, our platform for modernizing tactical and operational logistics.
  • Build and iterate on user-facing applications that deliver modern, intuitive experiences to users at the tactical edge.
  • Integrate logistics data from diverse systems to enable real-time visibility, predictive insights, and optimized workflows.
  • Participate in technical design discussions and code reviews, contributing to a culture of excellence, collaboration, and mission focus.
  • Triage and debug issues in production, ensuring high reliability and rapid iteration in support of operational needs.
  • Work closely with military stakeholders, engineers, and product managers to ensure our technology meets real-world sustainment requirements.
Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience in software engineering, preferably building and deploying production-grade web applications or distributed systems.
  • Proficiency with modern programming languages and frameworks (e.g. Python, Go, TypeScript, React).
  • Experience working with data pipelines, APIs, and system integrations.
  • Strong sense of ownership and a bias for action — you thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments where your work directly impacts mission outcomes.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to translate user needs into technical solutions.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience working on software in defense, aerospace, or other complex operational domains.
  • Familiarity with logistics, supply chain, or sustainment challenges — especially in military contexts.
  • Experience deploying software to production environments and managing cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS, Kubernetes) as well as Edge infrastructure.
  • Exposure to data engineering, analytics, or machine learning in operational contexts.
