Job Summary and Key Responsibilities
As a Software Integration Engineer, you will bridge the gap between vehicle-level autonomy platforms and external tactical networks. This role is a hybrid of program-based integration engineering alongside core open-source software development.
High-Level Interoperability and C2 System Integration
Systems Integration: Design, code, and deploy secure integrations connecting Command and Control (C2-to-C2) systems, complex communications stacks, and mission-critical defense software.
Abstract Modeling: Model high-level object abstractions and data architectures that enable flawless, low-latency interoperability across diverse hardware and software boundaries.
Cross-Functional Synergy: Collaborate closely with internal product, edge-platform, and core autonomy engineering squads to deliver integration pipelines aligned with maritime mission needs.
Open-Source SDK Engineering and Community Governance
SDK Architecture: Build, scale, and maintain HavocAI's public, open-source Software Development Kits (SDKs), ensuring they are reliable, secure, and clean.
Community Engagement: Actively support, nurture, and engage with the external developer community utilizing HavocAI SDKs, fostering open-source adoption and code contributions.
Technical Standards: Formulate internal architecture standards, documentation blueprints, and best practices for community-facing code releases.
Qualifications and Requirements
We are looking for an ambitious, self-starting developer who thrives under high ownership, values attention to detail, and excels at turning complex operational needs into dependable software.
Required Technical Skills and Experience
Programming Fluency: Strong, production-proven programming experience writing clean code in both Go (Golang) and Python.
Integration Expertise: Demonstrated background designing and implementing enterprise-grade system integrations (including APIs, SDK modules, and communication wrappers).
Modern DevOps Stack: Solid working familiarity with version control systems (Git), continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and containerized architectures (Docker, Kubernetes).
Professional Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to coordinate technical initiatives across multi-disciplinary, non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
Background working with defense mission systems, tactical C2 platforms, or distributed communication networks.
Practical experience contributing to, maintaining, or scaling public open-source software projects.
Familiarity with data serialization formats (Protobuf, JSON, CBOR) and modern messaging protocols (gRPC, MQTT, DDS).
Prior domain knowledge in maritime autonomy, uncrewed systems, robotics, or complex aerospace environments.
