Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Own top-of-funnel sourcing for software engineering roles, including backend, frontend, autonomy, and forward-deployed positions. Within the first year, expand into sourcing aircraft talent across propulsion, structures, avionics, manufacturing, and production. Responsibilities include researching candidates on GitHub, writing personalized outreach, building effective searches, managing requisitions, maintaining accurate recruiting data, and partnering directly with hiring managers in a fast-paced defense technology startup.

Architect and build backend systems for a real-time Command and Control platform directing large swarms of heterogeneous aircraft. Develop distributed infrastructure for mission control despite intermittent communications, ingest and process high-throughput telemetry and sensor data, and manage scheduling and data links. Own backend features from design through deployment while supporting reliability, scalability, CI/CD, QA, and DevSecOps practices.

Lead the design and development of major aircraft composite structures, including wings, fuselage sections, empennage, and bonded assemblies. Define structural architecture, laminate strategies, joints, load paths, tooling, and assembly approaches. Mentor structures engineers, collaborate with stress and manufacturing teams, and drive designs through PDR, CDR, first article, structural testing, and first flight. The role is hands-on, onsite in Oxnard, California, and requires experience with large-scale aircraft structures and full development cycles.

Lead frontend architecture for Legion’s real-time Command & Control platform, enabling operators to plan and direct large swarms of heterogeneous aircraft. Build collaborative, resilient interfaces for telemetry, sensor data, scheduling, crew resources, and data-link management during intermittent communications. Establish frontend standards, mentor engineers, and deliver performance-sensitive applications with strong CI/CD, QA, and DevSecOps practices.

Design composite and metallic aircraft structures from concept through first flight. Responsibilities include laminate and ply definition, structural joints, bonded assemblies, CAD modeling, engineering drawing release, manufacturing collaboration, structural testing, and design iteration based on analysis and shop-floor feedback. The role requires onsite work in Oxnard, California and supports structures across the full aerospace lifecycle.

Lead IT operations and end-user support: administer Entra ID/Azure AD, Microsoft 365, Intune and Jamf; manage onboarding/offboarding, device lifecycle, software deployment, patching, asset inventory, escalated troubleshooting, and office IT. Improve processes, documentation, and scalability while supporting cloud and on-prem environments for a growing defense/aerospace startup.

Lead IT security architect responsible for AWS security architecture, compliance (NIST 800-171/CMMC), and GovCloud IL5/IL6 deployments. Maintain SSP, POA&Ms, evidence, and remediation tracking; coordinate with auditors and customer ISSM/ISSO; partner with DevSecOps and Engineering to implement secure baselines, logging, monitoring, encryption, segmentation, vulnerability management, and incident response for regulated environments.

Develop and optimize detection, tracking, and multi-sensor fusion algorithms (Kalman/particle filters, multi-target tracking) for resource-constrained UAVs. Train and deploy neural networks for ATR, design distributed swarm fusion, validate against flight data and simulation, and optimize models for real-time edge inference. Travel up to 25% for tests.

Develop on-vehicle and simulation software across the autonomy stack: planning behaviors, sensor and payload integration, embedded/vehicle platforms, realistic UxS simulation, and electronics prototyping. Ensure reliable, testable code and support onsite test/integration events (up to 25% travel).

Define and own autonomy architecture for large-scale UAV swarms: design perception, planning, control, and inter-robot/C2 protocols; make system tradeoffs; mentor engineers; write production-quality code; support test events (up to 25% travel).
