This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge military systems powered by AI and advanced technology. The position is perfect for early-career professionals with 3 months to 2 years of technical experience who are passionate about creating real-world impact through software engineering.

The role involves developing and supporting software solutions that directly contribute to U.S. and allied military capabilities. You'll be working with Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that transforms thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. The position offers hands-on experience with various programming languages including C++, Go, Rust, Java, and Python, while working on meaningful projects that have direct real-world applications.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone starting their career who wants to make a significant impact in defense technology. The company offers comprehensive benefits including platinum healthcare coverage, generous paid leave, mental health resources, and competitive compensation including equity grants. The role requires being a U.S. Person due to export control requirements and may require security clearance eligibility.

The ideal candidate will have a strong technical foundation from their education in Computer Science or related fields, demonstrate a bias for action, and maintain a low-ego, high-ownership approach to their work. You'll be joining a rapidly growing team that values innovation, collaboration, and mission-driven development.
