Location:
Reston, VA. If you are a "buzzword bingo samurai" who loves corporate fluff and 100-page manuals, skip this post. We are a tiny, bootstrapped, defense tech shop building unique capabilities for the Intelligence Community (IC). We don't have layers of management, and we definitely don't have time to micromanage. We need a Founding Systems Hacker & Edge AI Engineer who loves to execute ideas, try concepts, and hack around with open-source tools to make things work. If you have a homelab in your closet, a GitHub full of half-finished passion projects, and a deep love for Linux, you're our person. We are a bootstrapped startup. We are revenue-backed and client-funded, but work can ebb and flow. It can be chaotic—slow one day, and incredibly fast the next. You have to be okay with that environment.What You'll Actually Do:
Air-Gapped Sorcery:
Take local AI/ML models (LLMs, Vector DBs, OCR, multi-modal models) and stitch them into ruggedized field hardware with absolutely zero internet connection.Wrangle Hardware:
Fight with CUDA configurations and optimize GPU acceleration across high-end RTX rigs, tactical laptops, and NVIDIA Jetson units.Build & Deploy:
Translate vague user requests from IC customers into working software realities. You'll build the prototype and show the customer how it solves their problem. Keep theLights On:
Because we are small, you'll spend a little bit of time making sure our internal tech stack and secure networks are running smoothly and compliantly.Who You Are:
U.S. Citizen with an active TS/SCI security clearance. (Non-negotiable).A Genuine Tinkerer:
You don't just code for a paycheck. You build things in your free time because you can't help yourself.Linux Competent:
You know terminal environments, package dependencies, and containerized deployments like the back of your hand.Self-Reliant Go-Getter:
You don't need constant reassurance. You see a problem, figure out a tool that might fix it, and hack it together. Unbothered byChaos:
When a client requirement changes, you look at it as a fresh opportunity to build something new.What We Offer:
Zero Red Tape:
If a tool works, we use it. No committee meetings, no corporate sign-offs.Real Impact:
What you build goes directly into the hands of operators solving high-consequence national security problems.Massive Upside:
We are building this from the ground up. You get a seat at the table and immediate leadership opportunities. Competitive base salary + 15% SEP IRA company contribution (Direct retirement backing from day one) + Equity options. We are looking to act fast.

$190,000.00- $225,000.
