Requirements
• Clearance Requirement: Must hold an active Secret clearance (Due to federal security clearance requirements, U.S. Citizenship is strictly required for this role). • 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including hands-on experience building, shipping, and maintaining production applications. You should be comfortable working across the full stack but possess deep strength in at least one area. • 2+ years of technical experience with Android application development, including familiarity with the Android SDK, Kotlin and/or Java, and the practical challenges of building reliable software for diverse mobile hardware. • Prior experience with ATAK plugin development or deep familiarity with the TAK ecosystem, including CoT messaging, TAK Server integration, and the plugin architecture. • Strong integration design skills, including the ability to define clean API contracts, design data synchronization patterns, and architect loosely coupled systems that interoperate reliably across organizational and technical boundaries. • A highly adaptable, problem-solving mindset, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, move fast, and balance immediate operational fixes with long-term technical fidelity. • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal. As the crucial bridge between the operational edge and our core development team, you must be able to translate complex, edge-case technical realities and user workflows into clear, actionable requirements for product engineers. • Prior experience with CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) or local-first software architectures to manage complex data synchronization without a central server. • Experience with cross-platform mobile development frameworks or strategies for maintaining parity between Android and other platform targets. • Familiarity with tactical networking concepts, including how mobile devices operate over constrained, mesh, or MANET radio networks. • Experience with SQLite, Realm, or other embedded databases and offline-first data persistence strategies for mobile applications. • Direct experience operating at the tactical edge, including deploying and supporting software on end-user devices in field exercises or operational environments. • Previous experience working directly with SOCOM, DoD, or federal customers, with an understanding of navigating secure or classified network environments. • A background in backend or systems development (e.g., Go, Rust, Python) in addition to Android, enabling rapid prototyping of integration middleware or data translation services.
Responsibilities
• Develop and Extend ATAK Plugins: Lead the design, development, and field deployment of custom ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit) plugins that integrate our platform's data synchronization capabilities directly into the warfighter's primary situational awareness tool. • Build Android-Native Integrations: Architect and develop performant Android applications and services that run on tactical end-user devices, ensuring reliable operation in disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth (DIL) environments. • Design Integration Architectures: Own the end-to-end integration design between our platform and the broader TAK ecosystem, defining data contracts, API boundaries, and synchronization patterns that enable seamless interoperability with third-party systems and services. • Solve Problems in Real-Time: Act as the first line of technical defense, rapidly diagnosing and resolving application, integration, and data-flow issues as they arise on end-user devices in live operational environments. • Bridge the Gap: Translate the unique realities of mobile tactical software—device fragmentation, power constraints, user workflow requirements—into actionable technical requirements for the core product development team.
