Workplace: hybrid
Department: Deployment
Arondite enables organisations to wield autonomy, data and AI at scale. We equip operators with the foundational software to orchestrate their mix of platforms and capabilities, and then take mission-critical decisions faster than their adversaries.
We exist to ensure the UK and its allies out-think, out-pace and out-adapt those who seek to threaten our values and way of life. Our technology is designed for deployment in the world’s most austere environments, and is relied upon by the world’s most demanding operators. We deploy alongside them, bringing our technical expertise wherever it is needed.
You will join Arondite at a pivotal moment in the company’s journey. We are ambitious, building for the long-term and backed by globally renowned investors including Index Ventures (Anthropic, Wiz, Figma, Revolut). Our company is being built by exceptional engineers - people who find high-impact and technically challenging work engaging and exciting, and who consistently deliver outsized impact. You will collaborate with other brilliant minds to solve some of the world’s hardest and most important problems.
You will have ownership and autonomy from Day One. There is no corporate ladder at Arondite. From your first day, you will directly influence the design, functionality, and direction of Arondite’s product offering. We hire the best people and give them extremely high levels of autonomy; the sky is the limit for an individual with the right ambition.
If you are motivated by our mission and if you want to be part of a growing team of outstanding people, then we want to hear from you.
This is a graduate-level entry point into Arondite’s Deployed Engineering team. We work closely alongside our customers to deploy our technology. As a Deployed Software Engineer at Arondite, you'll be responsible for implementing our technology with customers so that it effectively solves their real-world problems. You’ll collect feedback from end users and work with the wider engineering team to contribute back to the development of core product features.
You'll often need to travel to customer locations in the UK and across the world. The locations could be their offices, or they could be at testing or exercise sites “in the field”. Once there you’ll need to figure out unfamiliar systems, engage directly with users and deploy Arondite's products by writing code that solves their use cases.
This is an exciting opportunity to embed deeply with our customers, be a core part of the decision-making process, and help drive forward the direction of our platform based on your observations of how it is used in the field and how we can provide maximum value.
Arondite aims to bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and with different perspectives. We therefore don’t expect people to have experience across every area of the requirements. Please apply even if you only partially fulfil the following lists.
Strong core programming skills in either
Server-side languages such as C++, Java, Rust or Python, OR
Front-end development in TypeScript or JavaScript, using frameworks such as Angular or React
A deep enthusiasm for expanding your knowledge of a diverse technology stack
This is not an additional list of requirements; this reflects the tech stack currently used at Arondite; any experience in these areas is a bonus
All 'deployed' roles at Arondite involve working closely with customers at their UK locations, and when they go abroad. This can mean being away from our office for between 1 and 4 days a week on a regular basis, or going abroad for up to 2 or 3 weeks every few months. As this is a big commitment, we endeavour to maintain flexibility in resourcing to support people's personal circumstances.
We require that all candidates have an existing Right to Work in the UK at the time of application.
We believe in working closely with defence customers. As a result, this role will require the individual to hold a clearance or be willing to undergo UK security vetting to Security Check (SC) or above. This normally requires having continuous residency in the UK for at least 5 years.
We are focused on building a positive, collaborative engineering-driven culture. We therefore believe in making the office a friendly, comfortable and fun place to be, and we try to work from the office where possible. Of course, there are times when it makes sense for you to work from home and that's OK. You may also need to travel to visit customers, depending on your role. But in general you should only apply to join Arondite if you're excited to come into the office and work in person by default.
Generally, our interview process is comprised of the following stages:

Arondite builds a software platform called Cobalt that connects and manages autonomous systems from different manufacturers through a hardware-agnostic layer, unifying drones, robots, and sensors under one cockpit. It uses machine learning to process data from various assets and deliver real-time analytics to operators, enabling better decision-making and sensor fusion without needing new hardware. Unlike rivals that push specific hardware ecosystems, Arondite focuses on software interoperability to wire diverse systems together for defense, critical infrastructure, and security uses. Its goal is to improve operator decision-making, efficiency, and safety by enabling seamless interoperability across multiple vendors and use cases.
