About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Design, build, and operate software services running on UFORCE’s uncrewed vehicles
- Develop services for video streaming, telemetry, autonomy integration, vehicle control, health monitoring, navigation, and device integrations
- Define and evolve a unified onboard service architecture covering service boundaries, messaging, configuration, startup ordering, readiness, watchdogs, and graceful degradation
- Build and migrate production services to shared patterns using reusable libraries and a reference service template
- Standardise local service communication around NATS and define appropriate use of MAVLink, ZMQ IPC, and HTTP
- Design stable, versioned vehicle-to-backend contracts for telemetry, commands, acknowledgements, video metadata and control, configuration, health, and logs
- Engineer reliable operation over intermittent, low-bandwidth links using buffering, store-and-forward, idempotent commands, acknowledgements, timeouts, reconnection, and back-off
- Implement secure-by-default services with least-privilege identities, encrypted backend links, credential provisioning and rotation, sandboxed runtimes, and audit events
- Strengthen unit, contract, integration, simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop testing with CI gates
- Build release workflows with signed packages, dependency scanning, bench smoke and soak tests, staged fleet rollouts, and rollback
- Profile services and enforce CPU, memory, and latency budgets on Raspberry Pi, x86, and NVIDIA Jetson hardware
- Improve field diagnostics through structured logs, metrics, health reporting, post-mission log capture, and runbooks
- Document architectural decisions and service interfaces, communicate trade-offs, and use AI coding tools to accelerate delivery
- Collaborate with backend, autonomy, hardware, QA, and field teams to make releases predictable and identify failures before field deployment
Requirements
What you’ll need- 10+ years of professional experience in software engineering, delivering and operating production systems
- 2+ years as a Tech Lead or Staff Engineer, owning architecture across multiple services or teams and establishing standards adopted by others
- Expert Python, including asyncio, packaging, testing, profiling, and performance
- Distributed / edge system architecture experience with service architectures, messaging systems, versioned contracts, and unreliable networks
- Web development and API experience with HTTP/WebSocket APIs and message-based integrations
- Security architecture experience covering authentication and authorisation, secrets and key management, secure updates, and supply-chain controls
- Quality engineering leadership establishing test strategies, CI gates, and staged release pipelines
- Daily use of AI coding assistants or agents and experience introducing safe, effective team practices
- Node.js experience is a plus
- C++, Rust, or Go experience is a plus
- UxV, robotics, or embedded/edge Linux experience is a plus, including technologies such as MAVLink, GStreamer, serial/CAN devices, and systemd services on constrained hardware
- Security reviews or certification evidence is a strong plus
- Simulator or hardware-in-the-loop experience is a strong plus
- Legally authorized to work in the country for which applying
- Must disclose whether employment sponsorship from UFORCE is required now or in the future
Benefits
Comp & perks- Hybrid work arrangement
- Opportunity to work on defence technology, uncrewed vehicles, robotics, autonomy software, and command-and-control systems
- Hands-on work with production Python services and constrained Linux hardware
- Collaboration with backend, autonomy, hardware, QA, and field teams
- Professional use of AI coding tools
