Our Coherent Distributed Networks (CDNTM) technology fuses data from radars, EO/IR sensors, and electronic warfare systems across land, sea, and air-operating as one unified sensing platform.Role OverviewWe're looking for a Software Engineer to build the data systems that make this possible. You'll design pipelines that move sensor data from the edge to decision-makers in real time, integrate feeds from dozens of heterogeneous sources, and create the data infrastructure that powers products like VanquishTM. This isn't abstract data work — every pipeline you build directly enables faster threat detection and better outcomes for defenders in the field. You'll work across teams with hardware engineers, systems engineers, and operators to understand what data matters and how to get it where it needs to go. As we scale, you'll help shape the architecture of the CHAOS Operating System — a unified data backbone connecting engineering, operations, and manufacturing.ResponsibilitiesDesign and build data pipelines that ingest, transform, and deliver sensor and operational data in real timeIntegrate data from diverse sources — radars, sensors, enterprise systems — into unified, queryable formatsBuild and maintain data infrastructure including real‐time streaming, batch processing, and storage systemsCollaborate with hardware, systems, and software engineers to ensure data flows support mission‐critical workflowsMonitor, troubleshoot, and optimize pipeline performance for reliability and low latencyContribute to architectural decisions as the data platform evolvesWork 3+ days per week from our San Francisco or Los Angeles officeMinimum Requirements1‐2 years of experience in software development, data engineering, or a related fieldProficiency in Python and SQLExperience building or maintaining data pipelines, ETL workflows, or backend data servicesFamiliarity with data‐modeling concepts and working with structured/unstructured dataStrong problem‐solving skills and ability to debug complex data issuesPreferred RequirementsExperience with real‐time data processing or streaming technologies (Kafka, Spark Streaming, Flink)Familiarity with Palantir Foundry or similar enterprise data platformsExperience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP)Background in defense, aerospace, or sensor systems (radar, EO/IR, EW)Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)Familiarity with data warehousing solutions and NoSQL databasesWhy CHAOS?Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision benefits 100% paid for by the companyAdditional benefits: 401(k) (+ 50% company match up to 6% of pay), FSA, HSA, life insurance, and moreOur Perks: Free daily lunch, 'No meeting Fridays', unlimited PTO, casual dress codeCompensation Components: Competitive base salaries, generous pre‐IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance, and (coming soon!) annual bonusesTeam Growth: 200 employees and counting across 5 global officesCompensation$140k-220kThe stated compensation range reflects only the targeted base compensation range and excludes additional earnings such as bonus, equity, and benefits.
