About the role
Key Responsibilities
Implement the Core Aggregation Node: Lead the on-site architecture, deployment, and configuration of our central data hub within a highly secure, distributed network environment.
Master Edge-to-Core Synchronization: Architect and troubleshoot complex, peer-to-peer data synchronization across edge devices utilizing CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) to manage state in decentralized environments.
Optimize Multi-Protocol Routing: Ensure reliable data flow from the tactical edge to the core by configuring and optimizing routing across heterogeneous and constrained network transports, including BLE, local Wi-Fi, and tactical radios.
Solve Problems in Real-Time: Act as the first line of technical defense, rapidly diagnosing and resolving infrastructure, network, and software issues as they arise on the ground.
Bridge the Gap: Translate the unique, edge-case operational realities you observe (e.g., severe bandwidth constraints, disconnected nodes) into actionable technical requirements for the core product development team.
What You’ll Need
Clearance Requirement: Must hold an active TS/SCI clearance (U.S. Citizenship strictly required).
5+ years of experience in software engineering, forward deployed engineering, or SRE.
2+ years of technical experience working with distributed systems and cloud-native architectures, including Kubernetes, RKE2, K3s, and event streaming or data messaging platforms.
Prior experience with edge computing, state management, and complex data synchronization (eventual consistency, decentralized architectures).
Highly adaptable, problem-solving mindset; strong communication skills.
