Senior Software Engineer

Most software never leaves the screen. Yours will fly.You'll design radar systems that detect what's buried in the ground or hidden from view - then deploy them on drones that fly over real terrain.Well funded defence-tech startup building AI-powered sensors. First government customers already ordering and testing the prototypes.You'll work directly with the founders in a small, early team where your decisions shape the technical direction from day one.You'll own the low-level design and architecture - the robust foundations spanning POC, MVP and production.You'll build the software process: CI/CD, automated testing, monitoring, alerting, so the product can ship to customers at any moment.You'll design, assemble and test advanced radar systems, including drone-based configurations.Stack: C, C++, Python; CI/CD, containerisation, cloud infra, monitoring; real-time and signal-intensive data pipelines.You'll need hands-on C/C++/Python, a strong systems-design and dev-ops background, and the ability to bring structure to a fast-moving team.Radar, SAR, RF, UAV or robotics experience is a strong plus - defence-grade sensor work even more so.Suitable for engineers who understand the low level and want to build a whole product, not polish a feature.High agency, hands-on, comfortable when the work leaves the screen and hits the field. Not for anyone who wants a tidy ticket queue.Strong base + VSOP options. Full-time, in-person in Berlin.No CV required to start the chat.Message Kieran on LinkedIn to fast track.
