Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world.

The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.

The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.

About the Role

Most software engineers never see their code tested against reality. At Swarm Aero, that's the baseline.

We are looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Software Engineer to embed directly with U.S. government and military customers and own the technical success of our C2 systems in the field.

You will be the person who makes our software work -- not in a lab, not in a staging environment, but in real operational contexts across domestic and international deployments.

Austere locations, high-stakes timelines, and complex distributed systems are the job.

This is a full-scope engineering role.

You will build critical integrations, debug core services, contribute to new development, and ship solutions that warfighters and government operators depend on.

If you want to write code that matters and see it run in environments most engineers never touch, this is the role.
