Rust Software engineer
Company: Revere Defense Technologies
Location: San Francisco (Dogpatch) - On-site with flexibility
Type: Full-time
Compensation: $120,000 - $220,000 + equity + benefits
The Problem We're Solving
Right now, military communications are dangerously vulnerable. Radios make you a target, satellites can't be relied on, and traditional networks won't survive in future conflicts. We're fixing this.
What We're Building
We're creating an autonomous maritime network – essentially distributed systems that operate in the ocean. This extends resilient communications, sensing, and computing capabilities to the edge in high-threat, remote environments.
Who We're Looking For
We're hiring across multiple engineering roles for people who want to build technology that actually matters:
Software Engineers
Work on large-scale distributed systems and networking
System design and embedded software development
DevOps and infrastructure rollouts
Electrical Engineers
PCB layout and embedded systems
RF design and circuit development
Power systems and battery technology
Electro-mechanical integration
Marine/Mechanical Engineers
Pressure vessel design and subsea robotics
Underwater gliders and ruggedized systems
Design for manufacturing and reliability
Field deployment and testing
What You'll Actually Do
Ship code that runs on real robots in the ocean
Test your work on the water regularly
Move fast and own significant technical responsibility
Work directly with military operators who use what you build
Help shape both the technology and the company
About Our Team
We're founded by a Navy SEAL veteran alongside defense industry engineers, builders, hackers, and watermen (sailors, boaters, divers, fishermen). We're focused on solving real future missions – not just checking boxes for legacy requirements.
We're venture-backed and will be publicly launching soon.
Practical Details
Location: Our lab is in San Francisco's Dogpatch neighborhood, but we offer flexible on-site arrangements
Compensation: Competitive salary ($120k-$220k depending on role and experience) plus equity and benefits
Eligibility for TS/SCI security clearance is a plus (but not required to start)
Why This Isn't Just Another Defense Job
You'll be building technology that could literally save lives. This isn't about PowerPoint presentations or theoretical research – you'll see your work deployed in months, not years. If you're tired of bureaucracy and want to build things that matter with people who actually know what they're doing, this might be your spot.
