Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M
Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to
allied forces.
Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting
ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and
execution are expected.
About the Role
We are looking for a Lead Software Engineer to architect and scale our Manufacturing Execution System (MES). At Harmattan AI, we
treat our MES as a core software product, not just any MES, but essential to our factory’s traceability, quality, and analytics.
As the first senior in-house hire for this module, you will transition from a high-impact Individual Contributor to an Engineering
Manager, building a team. You will co-design the architecture with the Head of Corporate Tooling and set the technical standards
that will allow us to scale our organization.

ABOUT DEDALE: Dedale is the differentiating source of strategic intelligence in the technology space. With a unique team of over 100 full-time research analysts & planners, Dedale leverages a network of over 10,000 market professionals to deliver on-the-ground strategic intelligence to investors and corporates, with a core focus around North America and Europe. ABOUT THE ROLE: You will be a core contributor on a small, high-ownership engineering team. That means working across the full stack, taking features from design to production, and being someone the team genuinely relies on, technically and otherwise. Day to day, this includes: * Building new features on both the customer-facing platform and the internal tools our analysts use to produce intelligence. * Designing and maintaining the APIs that power our product. * Contributing to our AI initiatives, not just integrating models, but thinking carefully about where AI genuinely adds value in our product. * Participating in architecture decisions and technical discussions, not just executing them. * Reviewing code with the goal of making the whole team better, not just catching bugs. * Staying curious about new tools and approaches, and bringing that curiosity to the team. YOUR FIRST 90 DAYS: Week 1 — You spend your first week getting up to speed. That means onboarding sessions to understand our business, our clients, and what we are building, alongside setting up your environment and getting familiar with the codebase. You will likely ship something small by the end of the week, but the goal is to build a solid foundation, not to prove anything yet. Weeks 2 to 4 — You start contributing independently, picking up bugs and small improvements that let you navigate the codebase with growing confidence. By the end of the month, you are working on your first real feature, customer-facing, with enough scope to be meaningful. Days 30 to 90 — You become a full contributor. You take ownership of features, deliver them without needing hand-holding, and your code reviews are genuinely useful to the team. You have internalized our standards well enough that you are reinforcing them, not learning them. You are autonomous on most technical topics, even if some corners of the codebase are still new to you. By day 90, we know we can give you something and trust that it will get done well. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR: You have solid experience building production-grade applications, enough that you know what good looks like and why it matters. You are comfortable with ambiguity, can navigate a codebase that is still evolving, and take ownership without needing to be managed. More specifically: * Strong command of TypeScript, React, NestJS and GraphQL. You know these well enough to have opinions about them. * Experience with relational databases and data modeling (we use PostgreSQL via Prisma). * Comfortable with Docker, CI/CD, and automated testing as part of your normal workflow, not as an afterthought. * You write code for the next person who will read it, not just for today's deadline. * Fluent in English, written and spoken. Our team and documentation are in English. Nice to have: * Experience with workflow automation tools (we use n8n extensively). * Familiarity with LLM tooling or AI integration in production contexts. * Experience in a startup or small team environment where you wore multiple hats. RECRUITMENT PROCESS: * Intro call with a Talent Acquisition Specialist (15-20 mins). * Interview with our Tech Lead (1h). * Case Study (take home test, 3 days to complete) * Final interview with 2 members of the leadership team and coffee chat with the team. * Reference check
Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems. The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit 🐈⬛. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously! We're a diverse team of 250+ brilliant minds from over 35 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together! We are looking for a Head of IT & AI Ops to lead the systems, infrastructure, tooling, security, and operational practices that allow our teams to move fast without compromising reliability, confidentiality, or scientific excellence. Reporting to the COO, you will lead a ~20-person organization built around two teams, IT and AI Ops, each with a Head already in place. The IT team covers Corporate IT, Cloud & Infra Ops and Cybersecurity, while the MLOps team enables researchers and engineers to develop, deploy, monitor, and reproduce data and model-driven workflows. You will work closely with Software, Firmware, Calibration, Quantum Hardware, Data, Security, People, Finance, and Executive Leadership teams to turn operational needs into robust, scalable, and elegant systems. Your role is to create leverage for the entire company: enabling scientists to iterate faster, engineers to deploy with confidence, employees to work seamlessly, and leadership to make decisions based on reliable data and robust operations. You will build systems that can scale with Alice & Bob's ambition through 2030 and beyond.
