Valinor is a new kind of defense and government tech company. We build and buy mission-critical technologies to fill the gaps others ignore. Backed by General Catalyst.
About the role
We're looking for a software engineer to own the architecture, data handling, and product layer of the software stack at one of Valinor’s product companies, currently in stealth. The system turns raw sensor data into a usable, trusted picture for the end user. You'll work directly with the General Manager and alongside a small team of engineers to rapidly develop a new product. You’ll also partner with product enablement at the Valinor Hub to stand up infrastructure and management.
What they're looking for
- Data pipeline and storage experience: comfortable designing and operating time-series data systems and message-based ingestion pipelines (MQTT, Kafka, or equivalent), including handling for intermittent/unreliable connectivity
- At least one sensing/signal domain: hands-on experience with at least one of acoustic, EO/IR, or radar signal processing or detection — and genuine excitement to pick up the others as the product grows into them
- Cloud infrastructure ownership: able to stand up and maintain CI/CD and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred, GovCloud experience a plus) without a dedicated DevOps function yet in place
- Step-up temperament: proven ability to build and rebuild quickly with loose specs, and comfort taking ownership of a decision you'd previously have brought to someone else
More about this role
Valinor is a new type of defense and government tech company focused on solving the problems others don't. Our unique model of centralized go-to-market and decentralized engineering allows us to move with unparalleled efficiency to identify unmet needs, build right-sized solutions, and get products where they matter most - in the hands of users. Unlike others in the space, who focus on the flashy problems, Valinor exists to solve the quiet, unaddressed problems-the small but significant ones that lead to cracks in the country's strength, stability, and security.
Backed by General Catalyst, Founders Fund, and Friends & Family Capital, Valinor was founded in 2024 and has established strategic partnerships with Palantir, Anduril, and Helsing. We are building the dream team, and we want you on it.
