Rust Software engineer

Company: Revere Defense Technologies
Location: San Francisco (Dogpatch) - On-site with flexibility
Type: Full-time
Compensation: $120,000 - $220,000 + equity + benefits

The Problem We're Solving

Right now, military communications are dangerously vulnerable. Radios make you a target, satellites can't be relied on, and traditional networks won't survive in future conflicts. We're fixing this.

What We're Building

We're creating an autonomous maritime network – essentially distributed systems that operate in the ocean. This extends resilient communications, sensing, and computing capabilities to the edge in high-threat, remote environments.

Who We're Looking For

We're hiring across multiple engineering roles for people who want to build technology that actually matters:

Software Engineers

• Work on large-scale distributed systems and networking
• System design and embedded software development
• DevOps and infrastructure rollouts

Electrical Engineers

• PCB layout and embedded systems
• RF design and circuit development
• Power systems and battery technology
• Electro-mechanical integration

Marine/Mechanical Engineers

• Pressure vessel design and subsea robotics
• Underwater gliders and ruggedized systems
• Design for manufacturing and reliability
• Field deployment and testing

What You'll Actually Do

• Ship code that runs on real robots in the ocean
• Test your work on the water regularly
• Move fast and own significant technical responsibility
• Work directly with military operators who use what you build
• Help shape both the technology and the company

About Our Team

We're founded by a Navy SEAL veteran alongside defense industry engineers, builders, hackers, and watermen (sailors, boaters, divers, fishermen). We're focused on solving real future missions – not just checking boxes for legacy requirements.

We're venture-backed and will be publicly launching soon.

Practical Details

• Location: Our lab is in San Francisco's Dogpatch neighborhood, but we offer flexible on-site arrangements
• Compensation: Competitive salary ($120k-$220k depending on role and experience) plus equity and benefits
• Eligibility for TS/SCI security clearance is a plus (but not required to start)

Why This Isn't Just Another Defense Job

You’ll be building technology that could literally save lives. This isn't about PowerPoint presentations or theoretical research – you'll see your work deployed in months, not years. If you're tired of bureaucracy and want to build things that matter with people who actually know what they're doing, this might be your spot.
