We design, develop, and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost-effective - providing operators with a decisive edge in contested environments.\nWe are focused on delivering deployable, high-performance systems - not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe, today.\nAbout the team\nOur Data & Analytics team will provide critical cross-functional support across all STARK defence programs. We build robust infrastructure, tools, and data pipelines that ingest and process massive streams of telemetry, sensor, and video data from our autonomous systems. Working in a collaborative and fast-paced engineering environment, our mission is to empower software, hardware, and operational teams with clean, reliable, and real-time data.Your mission\nAs a Data / Software Engineer, you will own the end-to-end data pipelines and tooling supporting STARK's autonomous defence systems. You will design, build, and optimize scalable data architectures to capture, process, and analyze complex telemetry, sensor, and video data across multiple product lines. By automating data flows and creating high-performance internal tools, you will enable rapid decision-making, testing, and continuous deployment across all engineering teams.Responsibilities\nDesign, build, and maintain scalable, reliable data pipelines for real-time ingestion and processing of telemetry, sensor, and video data.\n\nDevelop robust automation frameworks and internal tooling to stream data workflows across cross-functional STARK programs.\n\nArchitect cloud infrastructure and data storage solutions leveraging AWS, Azure, or GCP to ensure high availability and low latency.\n\nCollaborate with hardware, embedded, and software engineering teams to define data models, interface specs, and telemetry schemas.\n\nOptimize data processing pipelines for high throughput, memory efficiency, and sub-second execution in mission-critical environments.\n\nImplement comprehensive data quality, monitoring, and alerting systems to proactively detect anomalies and operational issues.\n\nMaintain rigorous software engineering standards, including unit testing, CI/CD practices, and clear technical documentation.\n\nQualifications\nMinimum 3 + years of experience in similar relevant roles\n\nStrong proficiency in modern programming languages such as Python, Rust, or Go.\n\nDemonstrated hands-on experience building scalable data pipelines and data processing systems.\n\nKnowledge of relational and non-relational database systems, as well as object storage.\n\nExperience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform) and cloud-native architectures.\n\nProven track record of working with high-volume telemetry, sensor data streams, or video data processing.\n\nExperience creating developer tooling, CLI utilities, and automated CI/CD workflows.\n\nStrong problem-solving mindset and solid foundation in software engineering and distributed systems.\n\nNice to have\nKnowledge of machine learning and data science related concepts and applications.\n\nExperience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.\n\nFamiliarity with defense, aerospace, or robotics domain applications.\n\nIf you're interested in building the future of European Defence with us, and you see yourself reflected on the description above, please send us your CV in English. We're looking forward to meeting you!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3677,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Military Drones"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T01:14:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.863,"p_room":1,"age_days":11,"expected_fill_days":71,"reasons":["conf:6","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-03T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/stark-defence-data-software-engineer-all-genders","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/stark-defence-data-software-engineer-all-genders.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-04T01:43:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2269,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2731,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-05T00:00:00Z"}}}
