## About the role

We are seeking a software engineer who is fluent in numerical computing to build the software foundation of our electromagnetic warfare product line. Our Spectrum Sensing team is transforming CHAOS radar systems into distributed sensing systems that detect, classify, and geolocate RF emissions — and the algorithms that do it only matter if they run correctly, quickly, and reliably in production. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- B.S. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related field
- 5+ years of professional software development experience
- Demonstrated proficiency in Python for numerical computing, including writing, maintaining, testing, and debugging production-quality codebases — not analysis scripts or notebooks alone
- Strong command of array-based numerical computing (NumPy, SciPy, or equivalent), including an understanding of where and why Python performance breaks down
- Demonstrated experience contributing to a large, multi-team codebase — working within existing architecture, navigating unfamiliar code, and shipping changes that other teams depend on
- Strong software engineering fundamentals: version control workflow, code review, automated testing, and CI
