Building the Future of Autonomous Mission Intelligence The Opportunity Imagine being the technical architect behind AI that saves lives, protects nations, and transforms how the world's most critical decisions are made. At Museigen, we're not building another SaaS tool or consumer app – we're creating Merlin Cortex , an autonomous intelligence platform that transforms overwhelming real-time data into decisive action where seconds and sovereignty matter. We've already signed multiple contracts with some of the l argest defence and aerospace companies in the world , major telecommunications players , and are working on transformative projects we can't fully disclose yet. This isn't a "maybe someday" startup – we're actively deploying AI that operates across diverse environments, making decisions that impact national security and global infrastructure. As our Head of AI/ML & Technology, you won't just build technology – you'll shape the future of how humanity makes its most critical decisions. About Museigen We're pioneering the Autonomous Mission Intelligence category with our Merlin platform – AI that doesn't just analyze, but decides and acts in real-time, even in the most challenging operational environments. Our technology delivers: Ultra-low latency decision-making at unprecedented scale Advanced optimization techniques that push the boundaries of computational efficiency Intelligent multi-agent coordination for complex distributed operations Seamless deployment flexibility from tactical edge to enterprise scale Military-grade security and compliance architecture from the ground up We're at an inflexion point where our proven pilots are converting to production deployments, and we need a visionary technical leader to scale our impact globally. The Role As Head of AI/ML & Technology, you'll be the technical force multiplier who transforms our ambitious vision into a deployed reality. This isn't about managing sprints or optimizing databases – it's about architecting AI systems that operate at the intersection of cutting-edge computer science and real-world mission criticality. You will: Own the technical vision for a platform that operates at massive scale while maintaining mission-critical reliability Lead breakthrough innovations in optimization and distributed intelligence, positioning us at the forefront of emerging computational paradigms Architect autonomous systems that coordinate complex operations across diverse domains Drive technical strategy across our product portfolio serving defence, aerospace, and critical infrastructure sectors Build and inspire a world-class engineering team, scaling from our current core to 50+ engineers Navigate complex technical decisions , balancing performance, security, and operational constraints Interface with customers , including defence ministries, Fortune 500 aerospace companies, and critical infrastructure providers Shape our R&D roadmap , balancing immediate customer needs with breakthrough innovations in next-generation computing What We're Looking For Essential Expertise: Deep technical depth in distributed systems, real-time processing, and AI/ML architectures Proven track record of building and scaling mission-critical systems (defence/aerospace experience highly valued) Hands-on leadership – you can architect complex systems while guiding technical teams Experience with autonomous systems , intelligent agents, or distributed AI architectures Strong foundation in advanced algorithms and optimization techniques Security-first mindset with understanding of enterprise and government compliance requirements The Intangibles: Mission-driven mindset – our technology saves lives and protects sovereignty; this should energize you Comfortable with ambiguity – we're inventing new categories, not following playbooks Strategic thinking paired with tactical execution – you can see the 5-year vision and deliver today Exceptional communication – translating complex technical concepts for diverse stakeholders Global perspective – our customers span continents; experience with international deployments is valuable Intellectual courage to challenge assumptions and pursue non-obvious solutions Why This Role, Why Now Massive Market Opportunity : The intersection of AI and defence/critical infrastructure represents one of the fastest-growing technology sectors Proven Traction : We're beyond proof-of-concepts – we have paying customers and validated ROI models showing transformative returns Technical Differentiation : Our proprietary approaches to optimization and distributed intelligence create capabilities competitors can't match First-Mover Advantage : We're years ahead in compliance and operational deployment capabilities Founding Impact : As founding member, you'll have significant stake and fundamental influence on the company’s direction Work That Matters : Your contributions won't optimize ad clicks – they will protect nations, save lives, and ensure critical infrastructure resilience Technical Challenges You'll Tackle Architecting systems that handle extreme scale while maintaining real-time performance Developing novel approaches to distributed consensus and coordination at unprecedented scale Creating breakthrough optimization algorithms for computationally complex problems Building AI systems that operate reliably in resource-constrained environments Designing explainable and auditable AI that meets the highest compliance standards Engineering platforms that seamlessly operate across cloud, on-premise, and disconnected environments The Team You'll join passionate entrepreneurs dedicated to creating meaningful solutions. Our founding team brings together 85+ years of combined experience across AI, Products, Deep Tech, and Venture Capital. We have built startups from the ground up, raised capital across different stages, and bring a diverse skill set to Museigen. As we grow, you'll help us attract and develop a world-class team of mission-driven engineers, scientists, and operators with backgrounds from leading tech companies, defence contractors, and research institutions. We value technical excellence, intellectual honesty, and the courage to tackle problems others consider impossible. What We Offer Reward/stake commensurate with the transformative impact you'll have The opportunity to build a generational company in a critical sector The resources to succeed – we're well-funded and investing aggressively in R&D Direct customer impact – see your technology deployed in real operations within months, not years Unparalleled learning – work at the forefront of AI, distributed systems, and emerging computing paradigms Purpose-driven work – build technology that genuinely makes the world safer and more efficient Ready to Build the Future? If you're ready to move beyond incremental innovation and build AI systems that redefine what's possible – systems that operate at the intersection of theoretical computer science and operational reality – we want to hear from you. This is more than a job. It's a chance to be the technical architect of systems that will protect nations, save lives, and transform how humanity's most critical decisions are made. Museigen is committed to building a diverse team that reflects the global nature of the challenges we solve. We welcome applications from exceptional technologists regardless of background, geography, or traditional credentials.
