Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

Define and own bounded product features for Legion, Swarm Aero’s command-and-control platform for autonomous aircraft networks. Translate operator needs, customer feedback, technical constraints, and product direction into detailed specifications, workflows, requirements, and decisions. Collaborate with designers, engineers, operators, government customers, and contractors through design, development, feedback, validation, demonstrations, and delivery. Maintain product clarity, resolve ambiguity, document decisions, and track commitments while supporting the Head of Product.

Translate product specifications and workflow descriptions into polished, implementation-ready Figma designs for complex command-and-control and operational software. Design information-rich workflows, reusable components, interaction details, and edge cases independently. Collaborate with engineering, review implemented functionality, maintain UX consistency, and rapidly iterate based on operator, customer, and engineering feedback.

Build and operate the infrastructure supporting Legion, including CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, Kubernetes environments, observability, and deployments across cloud, on-premises, and customer environments. Improve developer tooling, support secure and compliant platform operations, and assist with deployments to customer and test sites. The role requires strong Linux, networking, scripting, containerization, and production infrastructure experience, with potential support for air-gapped and mission-critical systems.

Develop and deploy onboard swarm autonomy: perception, planning, control, multi-target tracking, inter-robot/C2 protocols, on-vehicle software integration, realistic UxS simulation, train and test ML-based target recognition, and electronics prototyping. Travel for test events up to 25%.

Own top-of-funnel sourcing for software engineering roles, including backend, frontend, autonomy, and forward-deployed positions. Within the first year, expand into sourcing aircraft talent across propulsion, structures, avionics, manufacturing, and production. Responsibilities include researching candidates on GitHub, writing personalized outreach, building effective searches, managing requisitions, maintaining accurate recruiting data, and partnering directly with hiring managers in a fast-paced defense technology startup.

Define and own autonomy architecture for large-scale UAV swarms: design perception, planning, control, and inter-robot/C2 protocols; make system tradeoffs; mentor engineers; write production-quality code; support test events (up to 25% travel).

Lead and own Legion's software roadmap, architecture, and delivery across autonomy, mission/C2, full-stack and field-deployed engineering. Build and scale the software organization, define technical standards for real-time and multi-agent systems, drive engineering execution, recruit talent, establish field feedback loops, interface with customers and investors, and adopt frontier AI tools to improve system performance and reliability.
