Software Engineer

*About Tyr Laboratories* Tyr Laboratories is a defense technology company in Austin, Texas, with in-house engineering, production, and test. This role builds the software that runs across our systems and our operation. About the Role The Software Engineer works across the stack, not in a lane: platform and data services, internal tooling, test and telemetry pipelines, and software that touches hardware. The work is unglamorous and load-bearing — small team, real systems, code that ships and gets maintained. Military experience is strongly preferred; veterans are strongly encouraged to apply. Responsibilities - Build and maintain backend services, data pipelines, and internal tools - Write software that interfaces with hardware: test automation, telemetry capture, data from physical systems - Own work end to end — design, implementation, deployment, documentation - Collaborate with the engineering teams and technicians across disciplines - Support test activities, including processing and analysis of test data Qualifications - Demonstrated ability to ship working software and maintain it — real systems over portfolio polish - Comfort working across unfamiliar layers of the stack rather than inside one specialty - Experience with software that touches hardware — embedded, robotics, test automation, or instrumentation — is a strong plus - Military experience is strongly preferred, particularly maintenance, avionics, UAS, communications, or intelligence backgrounds - No degree or minimum years of experience required — we hire for demonstrated capability Field-test support: this role supports field testing — travel up to approximately 30% when scheduled, a motor-vehicle-record check, and a company-paid FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate. Prior flight-test experience is not required. Compensation & Schedule $85,000–$140,000 per year. Full-time or part-time. On-site in North Austin, with field-test travel. Equity: stock options under the company's equity incentive plan. 15 days paid time off · 12 paid holidays · workers' compensation coverage. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States.
