## 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
