Join us to shape the future of AI-driven defense Do you feel that you fit the description, but don't think you fulfill all the criteria 100%? Apply to us anyway. We look forward to receiving your detailed application via our online form. The world is changing. Exponential technologies are enabling new types of security threats. We are committed to staying ahead by building nimble, scalable, and cost-effective defences. We are looking for passionate developers who are eager to create exceptional products, safeguard our freedom, and strengthen the resilience of democracies. About us We are a defence-tech start-up specializing in machine vision solutions. If you have a passion for cutting-edge innovation, and drive to use your skills to create next generation solutions, this is an opportunity for you What We Do: We are developing solutions that enable computers and sensors to collaborate as teams, working together to address emerging security challenges. Our primary mission is to defend against AI-powered asymmetric threats at scale, such as drone swarms and other UXVs. Who We Are: Based in Munich, Berlin and Bochum we are rapidly expanding across Europe with plans to open more office hubs soon. We embrace a hybrid work culture—valuing the collaboration that happens in the office, while also empowering our team members to work remotely with responsibility and autonomy.
