EDGE ML Deployment Engineer

What we do (and why it matters):

Swarmer develops software that makes drones autonomous and allows them to operate together, in large teams, without pilots required. Our technology has been battle-tested across 100,000+ combat missions in Ukraine — the world's most intense proving ground for drone warfare. We just closed a $15M Series A (the largest investment in Ukrainian defense tech since the war began) and we're scaling operations to serve NATO-aligned nations.
This isn't theoretical. This is software that's being used right now to save lives and defend democracy.

What you’ll do:

• You’ll be working with our most advanced algorithms for autonomy to make them even more advanced, that includes computer vision, and more general machine learning pipelines, but is not limited to it;

• You’ll make high-performance real-time systems that run in limited compute environments, such as a UAV’s onboard computer;

• You will not only make existing solutions shine, but introduce new ones, ensuring stability, predictability, and safety of operations.

What we’re looking for:

• Solid experience of developing production grade systems on devices where compute is scarce;

• Understanding of the inner workings of the modern ARM architecture and OS (real-time scheduling, managing memory hierarchy, CPU caches, multi-threading, SIMD’s, etc.);

• Proficiency in C/C++, general understanding of Python;

• Experience in robotics would be a heavy advantage;

• Fluent Ukrainian and competent English (B2 or higher).

What you’ll get:

• A chance to shape the core autonomy and perception systems at the heart of Ukraine’s defense tech ecosystem and its international expansion.

• Direct impact in a high-stakes industry where your engineering decisions carry real-world consequences.

• Professional growth through hands-on work with advanced UAV technologies and exposure to international best practices in autonomy, CV, and ML.

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package (insurance, paid sick leave, 20 paid days off per year).

• Benefits of the defense sector (reservation and related benefits).

• Flexible remote work options (possibility to commute to the office if needed is essential).

How’s the hiring process going:

✔️ Intro Call with TA Specialist → ✔️ Technical Interview → ✔️ Management Interview → ✔️ Final Interview → ✔️ Security Check → ✔️ Offer

Why this matters (and why you should care):

Ukraine is deploying 5 million drones in 2025 alone. The US and NATO are paying attention. The future of defense isn't more pilots—it's smarter software. We're not selling PowerPoints; we're selling proven technology that's been refined under the most demanding conditions imaginable.

Our team is direct, moves fast, and doesn't waste time on performative nonsense. If you want a company with seven layers of approval and endless consensus-building, this isn't it. If you want to do the most important work of your career with people who say what they mean and execute, let's talk.
