The PACE is fast. The expectations are high. The contribution matters. Working at TYTAN is more than a job, this is a mission. We thrive, think big, and hold ourselves to the highest standard. Our mission and values guide everything we do, and we're looking for people who thrive on ownership, embrace challenges, and are energized by meaningful work. If you're motivated by impact and thrive in dynamic environments, you'll fit right in.
At TYTAN , we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect Europe’s sovereignty.
We are looking for a new team member who is eager to make a real difference! As a Senior Full-Stack Developer, you will be responsible for designing and developing scalable military ground control station applications coordinating various effectors and integrating with external systems in real-time mission-critical environments .
Your roadmap to make an impact
Own the backend and integration layer for ground systems the services connecting operator tools, vehicles, sensors, and mission infrastructure
Design event-driven architectures and durable interface contracts so frontend, embedded, and partner systems can integrate and evolve safely
Build software that holds up in real operations, from telemetry pipelines to deployment, and follow problems across service boundaries end to end (including occasional lab or field support)
Raise engineering standards through design, code review, and mentoring, working closely with frontend, embedded, and guidance/navigation/control engineers
We care more about strong software engineers than checkbox perfection. If you meet most of these and are motivated to grow into the rest, please still apply tell us where you are strong and where you would ramp up.
Technical skills
Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience, plus 5+ years of commercial backend/platform development (no mission-domain background required)
