Role
Who you are
- This is a graduate-level entry point into Arondite’s Deployed Engineering team
- A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical/scientific subject
- Strong core programming skills in either
- Server-side languages such as C++, Java, Rust or Python, OR
- Front-end development in TypeScript or JavaScript, using frameworks such as Angular or React
- A deep enthusiasm for expanding your knowledge of a diverse technology stack
- Strong customer-facing communication skills
- Willingness to travel and work on-site with customers
- We want Arondite to bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We don't expect everyone to have experience across each of these areas. Please apply even if you only partially fulfil this list
Desirable
- This is not an additional list of requirements; this reflects the tech stack currently used at Arondite; any experience in these areas is a bonus
- Understanding of working on embedded/resource-constrained devices
- Knowledge of or interest in working with legacy systems
- Knowledge of SQL databases such as PostgreSQL
- Knowledge of or experience of working with machine learning applications
- Passion for or interest in working with hardware
What the job involves
- As a Deployed Software Engineer at Arondite, you'll be responsible for implementing our technology with customers so that it effectively solves their real-world problems. You’ll collect feedback from end users and work with the wider engineering team to contribute back to the development of core product features
- You'll often need to travel to customer locations in the UK and across the world. The locations could be their offices, or they could be at testing or exercise sites “in the field”. Once there you’ll need to figure out unfamiliar systems, engage directly with users and deploy Arondite's products by writing code that solves their use cases
- This is an exciting opportunity to embed deeply with our customers, be a core part of the decision-making process, and help drive forward the direction of our platform based on your observations of how it is used in the field and how we can provide maximum value
- Travelling to customer sites to meet users and understand their use-cases
- Building secure, robust software by adhering to secure coding standards (e.g., OWASP) and internal security policies throughout the development lifecycle
- Deploying our products into customer environments
- Interfacing with and testing autonomous and robotic systems in the field
- Iterating with customers to refine the implementation to maximise user value
- Collaborating with other deployed engineers with diverse skill sets, including AI/ML, networking, and robotics
- Driving a culture of excellence within the deployed team and the wider company
Application process
- Generally, our interview process is comprised of the following stages:
- CV submission with initial questions
- Introductory Teams call (30-45 mins)
- In-person technical interview (1-2 hours)
- Final interview with one of Arondite’s Founders (30 mins)
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.
