Want the freedom to own entire features end-to-end and see your work ship fast? This is a role for engineers who thrive on autonomy, impact, and building products that make a tangible difference.
You'll join a small, high-trust team developing adaptive AI systems designed for the most demanding environments. Engineers here take full responsibility for their work, from architecture to deployment, and see the direct results of what they build.
The company is already delivering on its mission, having secured seven-figure federal contracts to deploy its technology at scale. Founded by veterans of Meta, Palantir, and elite defense programs, the team blends deep technical expertise with firsthand operational insight.
With a modern tech stack you'll work directly with leadership, collaborate across disciplines, and help shape how the next generation of AI systems are designed, built, and deployed.
It's a fast, mission-driven environment where ownership is real, expectations are high, and the work has lasting consequence.

*Contribute to full-stack product development and API integrations
*Collaborate with users and partners to deploy mission-critical systems
*Balance rapid iteration with reliability and scalability
*Travel occasionally (up to 25%) for on-site integrations and deployments
The Person

*Experience in a seed-Series C startup backed by top-tier VCs
*Frontend-leaning with solid full-stack fundamentals
*Active TS/SCI clearance preferred or eligibility to obtain one
*Happy to work on-site in LA with occasional travel (25%)
