- Owning the end-to-end release process to ensure product releases are delivered on time, within scope, and to a high quality
- Maintaining and communicating release schedules across engineering, product, and stakeholders in the deployment team
- Running release planning and readiness reviews, ensuring all teams have clear acceptance criteria and ‘definition of done’
- Tracking progress against the roadmap, identifying risks and blockers early before they impact delivery
- Defining and enforcing testing, security and performance criteria before any release
- Providing metrics such as release frequency, lead time to new features and the number of bugs discovered
- Continuously improving the reliability and repeatability of the release process by reducing manual steps, increasing automation, and shortening cycle times
Application process
- CV submission with initial questions

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Modern defence operations rely on networks of drones, robots and sensors, but these systems are often built by different manufacturers and struggle to work together. This fragmentation makes it harder to share information quickly, slowing decision-making and increasing risk in high-pressure environments.
Arondite addresses this by creating software that connects these systems into a single platform. Its Cobalt system links different hardware, combines their data, and gives operators a clear real-time view. Rather than replacing equipment, it integrates existing tools and uses AI to support mission planning, coordination, and human-machine teamwork. And its technology is already being developed with partners like Babcock International for the Royal Navy's move toward a mix of crewed and autonomous systems.
Unsurprisingly, Arondite is gaining momentum as demand for AI defence tools grows. Now with over $12M in funding, the company is expanding across Europe, running trials, and refining its platform. Its focus is on helping defence organisations safely manage increasingly complex, connected technologies at scale.
