About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Architect and implement store-and-forward transport and data-synchronization protocols for low-bandwidth, high-latency, and DDIL field conditions
Implement local peer discovery and asynchronous I/O transports over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE, and ad-hoc mesh networks
Apply delay tolerant networking principles and local conflict-free data synchronization to support offline operation
Develop and maintain software spanning edge devices, mobile environments, and upstream cloud services
Lead tuning, memory management, and debugging for resource-constrained hardware in rugged, disconnected field deployments
Understand and implement authorization and authentication security patterns for DDIL and contested environments
Partner with hardware, mobile, and backend teams to validate end-to-end functionality under simulated and live field constraints

Requirements

What you’ll need

5-7+ years of software engineering experience building robust systems software or distributed networking services
Strong proficiency in Rust or other systems level languages (Go, C, or C++)
Demonstrated experience with store-and-forward architectures, delay-tolerant networks (DTN), async I/O, or local device-to-device transport layers (e.g., BLE, TCP/IP, socket-level async networking)
Practical experience solving synchronization challenges under intermittent, contested, or low-throughput network constraints (DDIL)
Experience with Android development (NDK, Kotlin, KMP, CMP, background sync services, or Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Direct stacks) is a plus
Familiarity with hybrid mobile/cloud application architecture and state reconciliation is a plus
Hands-on experience testing and evaluating wireless networking hardware and software in physical field or operational testing environments is a plus
Background in content-addressable data structures, Merkle DAGs, or CRDTs is a plus
Expertise in embedded hardware or robotics orchestration is a plus
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States
Must be eligible to obtain the security clearance specified in the job description
