About the role

Not every Sentry Tower does the same job. The same core platform that watches a perimeter for people and vehicles also underpins our ground-based air defense variants, where the tower's mission is detecting and tracking aircraft, and the sensor payload, the radar integration, and the configuration all shift accordingly. We're hiring a Software Engineer to develop and own the software for those variants, funded by and delivered to our Air Defense program. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 2+ years of professional software engineering building and shipping real systems
  • Proficiency in Rust or C++, with the ability to work across an existing codebase you didn't write
  • Solid Linux systems fundamentals: the command line, systemd, networking basics, and log-driven debugging
  • Practical experience integrating software with hardware, whether sensors, embedded devices, or instrumentation, and comfort working on a bench with real equipment
  • Demonstrated ability to own a piece of a larger system end to end, including the unglamorous parts: configuration, deployment, testing, and support
  • Clear written communication, since you'll be the interface between a program's requirements and the team's implementation
