About DEFCON AI

DEFCON AI engineers AI solutions that are powered by advanced optimization across a range of industries, translating complex operations into scalable success. Backed by Bessemer.

About the role

As a Software Project Lead, you will own the software design, architecture, and delivery for a dedicated program. You lead first and build when needed: strong enough in software to get hands-on and cover ground yourself, and conversant enough in data science and AI to help decide what gets built and pull in the right specialists. Above all you lead and communicate, directing the developers on the effort, setting technical direction, and keeping the customer and team aligned.

What they're looking for

  • Sit with the customer and end users, gather requirements, and turn what they need into a design and a plan, including the user experience and UX direction
  • Represent DEFCON's engineering to the customer and work the "how does our software get onto your network" conversation to a resolution
  • Communicate clearly across many audiences: run stakeholder workshops and translate between the customer, the PM, subject-matter experts, and the optimization and data-science staff
