Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates3w ago

In Office Mid EMEA Robotics Software Engineer Backend Engineer C++Python Rust Go Linux

Requirements

• 4+ years building and shipping production software, in Python and at least one lower-level language (C++, Rust, Go). • A track record of defining and building end-to-end systems: projects, internships, or early-career work where you took an ambiguous problem to a working, deployed solution. • Comfortable owning software end-to-end — design, build, debug, deploy — including on Linux, in operational or field conditions. • Confident and clear communicating with client technical teams and senior stakeholders, with a bias to action • Practical under constraint: ill-defined problems, tight deadlines, and a working solution over a theoretically perfect one. • Travel: frequent on site with partners, domestic and international. • Proficiency in English is mandatory. • Prior forward-deployed, solutions engineering, or customer-facing engineering experience. • Depth in computer vision, deep learning, mission planning, robotics, or embedded software. • Degree from a leading engineering school. • We look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.

Responsibilities

• Design and build software applications that solve specific operational problems for our partners, owning them end-to-end from architecture through deployment. • Take loosely defined, real-world requirements from partner militaries and organizations and turn them into working software, often on tight timelines. • Build interfaces and connectors between our platforms and partner systems, and validate data flows end-to-end in the field. • Deploy your solutions on site, gather feedback directly from operators, and iterate quickly based on what you see working (or not) in practice. • Spot patterns and capabilities worth building into the core product, and work with our platform engineering team to get them there. • Debug issues in live operational settings, drive them to resolution, and document what you learn along the way. • Build real working relationships with client technical teams and end users so you understand their problems well enough to solve them properly.
