## About the role

Our product spans the entire software stack, from the embedded controls running on rugged hardware, through the networking and data plumbing in between, up to the databases and cloud systems that store and make sense of it all. We're looking for a true generalist who is comfortable everywhere on that spectrum: someone who can follow a piece of data from a sensor on the hardware all the way to a dashboard, and write code at every stop along the way.

## What they're looking for

- Able to independently identify critical information or priority gaps and apply effort toward closing those gaps
- BS in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or equivalent demonstrated experience
- This position is an onsite role based in Chariot Defense’s San Bruno, CA, office
- Willingness to support 10% travel, domestically and internationally, as well as work extended and weekend hours, when necessary
