Integrates multi-vendor autonomous defense systems

Workplace: hybrid
Department: Development
Arondite is a defence technology company building the foundational software and AI to power the autonomous age. Our aim is to transform how organisations collaborate with robots, sensors and autonomous systems, and how they use the data those systems generate. We are driven by our determination to help defend our collective democratic values and by our belief that a small group of exceptional engineers can make a disproportionate difference. We are ambitious, well funded and building for the long term.
You would join Arondite at a pivotal point in the company’s growth. We are building the company with exceptional engineers who are motivated by technically difficult, high-impact work and who consistently deliver outsized results. You will work alongside people who care deeply about craft, speed, judgment and mission value.
You will have ownership and autonomy from day one. There is no corporate ladder at Arondite. From your first day, you will directly influence how Arondite’s technology is deployed, how the product evolves, and how we support customers operating in complex real-world environments.
We work closely alongside our customers to deploy our technology in demanding operational settings. As a Deployed Software Engineer in Oslo, you will help implement Arondite’s products with Norwegian customers and partners so that they solve real problems outside the lab, not just in demonstrations.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, deployment and customer understanding. You will travel to customer offices, test sites, exercises and field environments, learn unfamiliar systems quickly, and write software that makes Arondite’s platform useful in the context that matters to the user. You will also collect feedback from operators, engineers and programme stakeholders, then work with the wider engineering team to ensure lessons from the field shape the core product.
For Norway, this role is especially important because the opportunity is fundamentally about interoperability. The UK-Norway Lunna House Agreement and wider NATO integration needs all point to the same challenge: connecting heterogeneous autonomous platforms, sensors and software into a coherent operational picture. Cobalt is well positioned as that integration layer, and this role helps make that proposition real in practice.
The initial operating model may combine regular Oslo presence with support from the wider UK team while the local footprint expands. Over time, this role is expected to become a highly trusted technical presence in market: someone who can support trials, shape deployments, build credibility with users and help inform Arondite’s broader Norway strategy.
This is not an additional list of requirements. It reflects areas likely to be useful in Arondite’s current and expected deployment environments.
Applicants should have the legal right to work in Norway at the time of application, or a clear and realistic route to obtaining it. Final employment arrangements will depend on the operating model used for Norway.
We believe in working closely with defence customers. As a result, this role is likely to require the ability to obtain and maintain an appropriate Norwegian security clearance. The precise clearance level, sponsorship route, eligibility criteria, expected timelines and any interim working arrangements should be confirmed before external publication, but candidates should be comfortable with the expectation of security screening and working in a defence environment.
We are focused on building a positive, collaborative, engineering-driven culture. We therefore believe in making the office a friendly, comfortable and productive place to be, and we try to work in person where possible. Of course, there are times when it makes sense for you to work from home, and that is fine. You may also need to travel to visit customers, partners and trial sites depending on your role. But in general you should only apply to join Arondite if you are excited to work in person by default and to spend meaningful time on site with users.
For Norway specifically, the initial operating model may involve close support from London alongside regular [Oslo] presence. Over time, this role should help inform how much permanent local deployment capacity Arondite needs in market.
You will be one of our early team in Norway and we are still finalising our benefits package. However, as a guide, we currently intend to progressively offer the benefits below:

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.
