Senior Software Engineer, Maritime App

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Maritime Application Team sits at the tip of the spear, transforming core platform technology into mission-winning capabilities that deliver a decisive operational edge at sea. We are a specialized software team embedded within the core Lattice Platform, uniquely positioned to accelerate the delivery of mission-critical capabilities for maritime platforms such as the Dive-LD, Dive-XL, Copperhead, and Seabed Sentry. Our role is to take powerful platform primitives—like data management, mission autonomy, simulation, auth, and orchestration—and rapidly forge them into integrated, robust applications for autonomous maritime systems. We act as an incubator for future platform features, ensuring that the solutions we build for today's contracts are the foundation for tomorrow's platform-wide advancements. If you are passionate about building high-impact software that directly supports operators in the field while shaping a next-generation platform, this is your team.

ABOUT THE JOB

As a Software Engineer on the Maritime Application Team, you will be the architect and builder of the software that our maritime operators use every day. You will design and implement the user interfaces, microservices, and data integrations that transform our autonomous underwater vehicles from powerful hardware into intelligent, mission-capable assets. This role requires a product-minded engineer who can operate with ambiguous requirements and translate complex operational needs into elegant, reliable, and scalable software solutions, bridging the gap between core platform infrastructure and real-world maritime challenges.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design, develop, and deploy full-stack applications and services for maritime command and control, including our Lattice UI.
• Build robust, scalable back-end services (e.g., in Go, Rust, Python, C++) to manage mission planning, vehicle tasking, and real-time data processing.
• Develop intuitive and performant front-end interfaces (e.g., in React/TypeScript) that provide operators with at-a-glance situational awareness.
• Integrate specialized maritime data sources, such as electronic navigational charts (ENCs), bathymetry, and acoustic sensor data, by leveraging and extending core platform primitives.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, operators, and others cross functionally in the Software Platform and the Maritime Division to rapidly iterate on features and deliver tangible value.
• Champion best practices in software architecture, code quality, and testing to ensure our systems are reliable in challenging operational environments.
• Mentor other engineers on the team and contribute to the technical strategy for the maritime domain.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 3-5+ years of professional software development experience, with a proven track record of shipping complex, full-stack applications.
• Strong proficiency in one or more modern programming languages such as Go, Rust, Python, or C++, and a willingness to learn new ones.
• Experience building user-facing applications with modern web technologies (e.g., React, TypeScript, gRPC).
• A deep understanding of distributed systems, API design, and data modeling principles.
• Ability to architect solutions for scale, performance, and reliability.
• A bias towards rapid delivery and iteration, extreme ownership, and strong opinions with low ego.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen and eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with Go and/or Rust in a production environment.
• Experience building software for robotics, autonomous systems, or geospatial applications.
• Familiarity with cloud-native technologies (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker) and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform).
• Experience working with real-time data streams, such as sensor data or vehicle telemetry.
• A passion for creating exceptional user experiences and a keen eye for product design.
