At Orca AI, we're on a mission to shape the future of the shipping industry through cutting-edge autonomous ship technology. We’re hiring a Full-Stack / Platform Engineer to own the interface that connects our tech to the real world - what defense users, operators, and mission teams actually see and use.
This is not a pure frontend or backend role. You’ll own the full stack that powers real-time situational awareness: from backend APIs and telemetry pipelines to Command & Control dashboards and alerting surfaces. Your work is what turns a tech demo into a fieldable product - enabling tasking, live streaming and alert monitoring, post-mission review, and secure control workflows for mission-critical operations.
This isn’t a narrow frontend job - it’s an opportunity to build the next generation of AI-powered maritime software infrastructure from the ground up, with full ownership and impact, alongside the most innovative team in the most advanced company in this space.
