In this role, you will onboard and configure data sources (sensors, C2 systems, and operational feeds) into a secure, multi-cluster data governance and mesh platform, deploy and manage platform nodes, and support the customer in taking ownership of their environment. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who is comfortable working across systems, protocols, and customer teams in fast-moving operational contexts., * Onboard and configure new data sources into the data governance and mesh pipeline: producers, operators, and consumers

  • Proficiency in TypeScript/Node.js

  • Experience with GraphQL and pub/sub architectures (Zenoh or equivalent)

  • Hands-on experience deploying and managing containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes/Helm)

  • Strong debugging skills and comfort operating independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

  • Strong collaboration and communication skills in distributed, remote, cross-functional teams

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Familiarity with defense data standards and protocols: ASTERIX, Cursor on Target (CoT), STANAG, radar UDP

  • Background with military, law enforcement, or intelligence community operations and organizations

  • Experience supporting international programs with distributed, cross-cultural teams

  • Understanding of service mesh concepts, mTLS, and zero-trust network architectures

  • Familiarity with edge-native deployment patterns and constrained operational environments

  • Experience with customer enablement, technical training, or knowledge transfer in field environments

  • Fluency with AI-assisted development tooling (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, or equivalents) as part of daily engineering practice
