Founding Deployment Engineer

About the Role

This is a founding-team role. You’ll work directly with the founders to deploy prototypes with early customers, iterating quickly on what they need in the field. The core challenge is closing the gap between what the product does generally and what each customer requires specifically.

Expect rapid prototyping, bespoke integrations, quick fixes under pressure, and work that doesn’t always scale — because getting real-world signal matters more right now than perfect abstractions. You’ll work with audio streaming technology and real-time voice systems. Frequent travel to customer sites is required.

What You’ll Bring

Software engineering generalist

• Pragmatic and product-minded
• Comfortable across the stack
• Able to ship in environments that aren’t clean or well-defined

AI systems in constrained environments

• Experience implementing AI in resource-constrained or operationally sensitive environments
• Ability to make things work when conditions aren’t ideal

Audio and low-latency systems

• Comfortable with audio processing and real-time systems
• Specialist expertise is not required, but comfort with the domain is essential

Clear technical communication

• Able to translate complex system behaviour into plain language for non-technical stakeholders, including in high-stakes customer settings

Familiarity with armed forces environments

• Prior experience working with or within military or police organisations is a strong advantage
• Understanding of how these customers think, decide, and operate

High tolerance for ambiguity

• Thrive when the brief is incomplete, the timeline is short, and the stakes are real
• Ability to figure things out rather than wait for clarity

The Team

You’ll join a small, senior team. Everyone operates with a high degree of autonomy and is expected to take full ownership of their work. There are no layers between you and the decisions that matter. You’ll work directly with the founders and have visibility into everything happening in the company.
