Software Engineer — VIE USA

About this role

### About Alta Ares

Alta Ares is an air defense Neoprime. We build AI-guided interceptors to counter drones and cruise missiles, along with the software platform that powers them.

Our customers are NATO-aligned militaries and defense institutions, and our systems are regularly deployed during live exercises and operational demonstrations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Founded in 2024, we have grown to 90 people, raised over $60M, and increased revenue 40× this year. We are now entering a new phase of international expansion, industrial scaling, fundraising, and product development.

## Role & Mission

This VIE is Alta Ares' software engineering presence in the United States — a critical market where the company is actively developing its commercial and technical footprint. Based in New York City alongside the GM North America, you will contribute directly to Alta Ares' core software development while serving as the technical bridge between the US market and the Engineering team in Paris.

You will work on real product features — not internal tooling or peripheral tasks. You will contribute to the AI, computer vision, and embedded software stack that underpins Alta Ares' ISR and C-UAS platforms, while gaining exposure to the US defence tech ecosystem and working alongside some of the most ambitious engineers in European deeptech.

• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and sprint planning with the Engineering team in Paris
• Develop and maintain unit tests, integration tests, and CI/CD pipelines
• Contribute to the improvement of internal development tooling and engineering practices
