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 we’re looking for:

We are looking for an Edge ML Deployment Engineer to create efficient and reliable smart solutions that work in real-life wartime scenarios. Someone who is proficient in OS, memory management, and performance optimizations. Someone who can keep large complicated systems in their mind, reshape them in a way that satisfies the requirements of the environment, then translate that into code.

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 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 → ✔️ Offer

Please note that, as a leading defense tech company, we take operations security seriously and may need to perform additional background checks as part of our hiring process. We will do so in accordance with all applicable EU laws and regulations and safeguard your data in the process.

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.
