Key skills for this role
As the Head of Software at Picogrid, you will be the foundational technical leader responsible for defining, building, and scaling our entire software engineering function. You will lead the end-to-end development of Picogrid's software stack: from the Legion platform and Orion C2 interfaces to edge-deployed systems operating in disconnected, denied, and degraded environments. This is a highly demanding, hands-on role for a true generalist and technical leader ready to stand up a world-class department from the ground up.
You will set the technical vision across backend platforms, real-time geospatial UIs, hardware-software integration, and operator-facing command-and-control systems. You won't just manage, you will architect, build, and ship alongside your team. Work with hardworking, ambitious, world-leading talent to build the future of unmanned system behavior orchestration.
