You own the radar architecture from the waveform math to the physical antenna.

Main Responsibilities

You own the radar architecture from the waveform math to the physical antenna. You define the fast-chirp FMCW parameters and the detection strategy, including range-Doppler processing, CFAR, and angle estimation. You set and manage the system budgets for SNR, power, and thermals. You select the frequency band and design the physical antenna elements. You prototype integration approaches like substrate-integrated waveguide and launch-in-package. You design corporate-fed and series-fed networks, controlling amplitude and phase to hit specific beamforming and sidelobe targets. You design MIMO arrays, managing element spacing, channel isolation, and virtual-aperture formation. You build the digital twin of the sensor to track real-world phase noise, PA compression, quantization, and mutual coupling.

Mandatory Requirements

We do not look at your degrees. Show us the hardware you built and tested. If you have only built a single antenna in your career and simulated the rest of the system, do not apply. We want a track record of shipped physical artifacts. You must provide measured data from a VNA or anechoic chamber to prove your designs work in reality. Speed wins over perfection. You must parallelize your work streams. There is no time for sequential engineering. Show us how you move fast, solve phase-coherence problems in physical hardware, and correlate measured results against your EM simulations.

We offer

This role requires your daily physical presence in our Kyiv lab. We move from the test bench to live field validation in days, not months. We provide a top-of-market base salary, founding equity, a relocation bonus, company housing, and a daily allowance. We remove all financial and logistical friction so you can focus entirely on shipping hardware.

About this position

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our Legion Platform team. You will design, build, and deploy high-performance, scalable server systems and integration tools that connect hardware and software systems across environments and levels of command. 

As part of the Legion team, your expertise will be critical to solving complex system challenges and developing a robust platform that is deployed for real-world military missions. 

This role requires continuous innovation and is a good fit for an engineer who thrives under pressure and demands that their work have an immediate, tangible impact on national security.

DARC helps European, US and allied defence companies enter the Ukrainian market: strategy, partner matching, battlefield testing, communications.
 

The role

You are the technical authority on our side of the table.

You join pre-sale calls with the founders. A manufacturer explains what they build, and you work out during the conversation whether it meets a real Ukrainian requirement, what is missing, and what the honest answer is.
 

Once a client signs, you own the technical half of their go-to-market. You validate the product against how the war is actually fought, you produce feedback their engineers can act on, and you define what has to change and in what order.
 

You run the technical conversations between the client's engineers and their Ukrainian counterparty. Both sides describe the same problem in different languages, and someone has to carry the meaning across without losing it.
 

This is not an engineering role. You will not design or build anything. You assess, you translate, and you coordinate.

What we are looking for

• A working understanding of how this war is fought
• Expertise in unmanned systems across domains. FPV, fixed wing, fibre-optic, ground, naval. What they are built from, what fails first, and what is replacing what
• One area of real technical depth. Electronics and RF, EW, propulsion, optics and sensors, autonomy and software, materials, energetics. We need one properly, plus the literacy to follow a conversation in the others
• Experience sitting in front of an external customer and giving them a technical answer they did not want to hear
• Fluent English. You will speak and write to CTOs and heads of engineering every day
• Native Ukrainian
• Ability to explain a complex system in writing, without jargon, to a commercial reader
   

Strong plus:

• Background in a Ukrainian manufacturer's R&D or integration team
• Military engineering, acceptance testing, codification, or admission of product for supply
• Pre-sale, solutions or field application engineering at a component or systems vendor
  
   

What you will do

• Join pre-sale calls as the technical voice alongside the founders
• Assess a client's product against the Ukrainian requirement and write the honest answer, including when the answer is no
• Define what has to change for the product to work here, and in what sequence
• Structure and run technical negotiations between client engineers and Ukrainian partners
• Build the technical sections of proposals 
• Support integration and trials, and turn partner feedback into something a client's engineering team can act on
• Keep our own technical picture current. What is being used, what is failing, what is being replaced
   

What we offer

• Direct work with foreign manufacturers and tier-one players in Ukraine and abroad
• Visibility across dozens of foreign products and Ukrainian requirements at the same time, which is a view almost nobody has
• Travel to European defence exhibitions
• Competitive salary with a performance component tied to delivery on signed mandates
• Salary review every quarter

Are you passionate about safeguarding countries, societies, and businesses from hybrid threats?

Look no further! Our rapidly scaling company is committed to this crucial mission, collaborating with some of the world’s most influential organizations, including NATO and the EU.

If you’re ready to join a high-impact team shaping the future of intelligence and security, we invite you to become part of our journey. Join us and help defend the digital world with purpose and innovation!

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to work on the data architecture behind our intelligence platform, across both our production data infrastructure and our work with multimodal data.

We operate on text, social media, geospatial, and time-series data at scale. A large part of the engineering challenge is in how that data is represented and connected: the same real-world entity can be modelled on a map, as a node in a graph, and as a pattern over time, and the value comes from being able to query and reason across those views together.

You'll bring hands-on experience with geospatial data, knowledge graphs, or entity-relationship systems across multiple data types. We care more about how you reason through architectural and technology choices than about any specific tool.

This is a hands-on, senior role with real ownership over architecture, execution, and technical direction.

• Experience with GIS tooling (e.g. PostGIS), graph databases (e.g. Neo4j, TigerGraph), or modelling graph data on relational or columnar storage.
• Strong architectural thinking and the ability to justify technology choices, run experiments, and change course based on results.
• Proven experience moving and processing data at large scale, with resumable, idempotent, and memory-safe pipelines.
• Experience working with data infrastructure beneath the managed layer, not only inside a ready-made SaaS platform.
• Ability to read query plans and change physical data layout to fix performance issues.
• Experience building and shipping production backend services in Python.
• Comfort owning infrastructure, including Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, or similar tools.
• Fluent English.

Nice to Have

• Production experience with a columnar or MPP engine such as StarRocks, Doris, ClickHouse, BigQuery, or Snowflake, including partitioning, distribution, and indexing.
• Experience with Elasticsearch or OpenSearch at scale, including mappings, ILM, tiering, and reindexing.
• Experience with a long-running migration involving dual-write, reconciliation, and cutover.
• Knowledge of PostgreSQL internals.
• Experience with event-driven ingestion using Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Experience with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki), lakehouse formats (Parquet, Iceberg), and orchestrators such as Airflow.
• Background in threat intelligence, OSINT, geospatial intelligence, or defence.

We Offer

• Opportunity to contribute to a mission-driven startup and support prestigious clients, including governments worldwide, enterprise clients, and leading NGOs in tackling global security challenges.
• Autonomy and freedom to drive experiments and bring your own ideas to life.
• Flexibility of fully remote work.
• Flexible, unlimited time-off policy.
