About Armaments Research Company

Armaments Research Company (ARC) is a technology company dedicated to bringing real-time situational awareness and battlefield logistics capabilities to the warfighter. You will be an integral part of the ARC team managing program execution in support of our innovative and powerful IoT devices to enhance national security.

Our core offering is the ARC AI-Enabled Weapons Sensor (AEWS), which collects and transmits real-time tactical data to the cloud. This information enables battlefield/tactical awareness and aggregated insights into big data sets that do not exist today. ARC technologies were initially developed in partnership with DARPA and the National Science Foundation and leverage internet-of-things (IoT) technology and machine learning to derive actionable insights and transform operational responses. This novel technology will be deployed at scale to enhance safety, decision-making, and sustainment for the warfighter at the tactical edge. What You'll Do

The Senior Software Engineer is responsible for building and developing our data collection applications and situational awareness tools. You will be a part of a high caliber team dedicated to both mission and advancing ground-breaking technology. Our software stack includes Java-based microservices in AWS using modern orchestration and integration systems. We use many off-the-shelf technologies including Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis and many others. The front-end is a React.js presentation that drives web UIs for historical analytics, real-time status information, and data replays similar to mixed-media streaming platforms. We also develop mobile applications for the Android operating system. You will have the opportunity to learn and expand your own knowledge base, leveraging and elevating our highly skilled team.Role Responsibilities - How You Will Make an Impact
