Do you want to make a significant contribution to the victory? Do you want to help win success on the frontline by applying AI to our nation’s drone fleet?
Occam Industries delivers autonomy to the battlefield. We are purely software; we partner with some of the most major OEMs and brigades.
If you want a senior role that still means being one of the best engineers in the business, this is it.
Your Mission
Lead our engineering team to build, integrate, and ship reliable autonomy software to the frontline at speed and scale.
What You’ll Own
System architecture across our modular autonomy stack.
Technical direction for the Pilot and Platform engineering teams.
Hands-on engineering to solve the hardest problems. Expect to spend half of your time in the codebase.
Working with Product, OEMs and brigades to turn frontline needs into things we can actually build and ship.
Technical trade-offs across performance, reliability, hardware constraints and speed of delivery.
Hiring the engineers we need to move faster.
What You Bring
Deep hands-on engineering — you will need to be credible working in the codebase, not only above it.
Experience owning system architecture across complex, hardware-adjacent software systems.
A track record of driving engineering teams to ship, without relying on formal management authority.
Comfort working closely with product and OEM stakeholders on real-world tradeoffs.
A build-first mentality. You want to solve hard engineering problems, not manage them from a distance.
Basic English required; fluent English is a plus.
Based in Kyiv or within daily commuting distance.
What You Get
Work that matters: Build products that directly strengthen Ukraine’s defence capability.
Top-of-market compensation plus equity.
A senior technical role designed to keep you close to the code and end users
Direct influence over the architecture and product that drives Occam autonomy into combat.
We are able to discuss reservations for critical candidates with significant experience.
How We Work
We value speed, judgement and ownership. If you prefer clear boundaries, slow decisions and layers of approval, OCCAM is probably not for you. We want people who build, solve hard problems and adapt when reality changes — not people who wait to be told what to do.
Interview Process
Typically four stages, completed within a few weeks.
Offer conditional on a background check by security services.
We like hitting the enemy. You do too? Join us.
