About Andrenam
We’re building sonar and sensing systems that bring light to the last dark domain: the ocean. Our team includes alumni from SpaceX, Anduril, ABL, Palantir and Qualia. We build full-stack—from physics to perception to product—with speed, elegance, and an unwavering commitment to the mission.
We believe the maritime domain will define the next century of economics, geopolitics, and global security. We're here to shape it.

• Lead the development of full-stack, user-facing software products for data management, real-time data visualization, and command and control of autonomous systems
• Actively seek feedback from users and stakeholders to continuously improve the user experience
• Create software integrations with external systems as part of the full-stack products
• Drive technical decisions and contribute to the evolution of our software stack
• Provide mentorship and contribute to a collaborative team culture
• Become a go-to expert for all challenges encountered
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with IoT systems, defense tech, or related fields
• Experience working directly with end users to understand requirements, design products, and address feedback
• Proficiency writing/debugging software in Python, TypeScript, React, GraphQL, or related technologies
• Proficiency architecting, developing, and iterating on full-stack software products
• Experience building tools to accelerate testing and development of software systems
• Application of modern data structure, algorithm, and software design best practices in production systems
• Experience integrating software systems with electronics or hardware systems
• Experience managing database systems (SQL and NoSQL)
• Experience handling software in controlled and classified environments
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
• Experience developing roadmaps and communicating timelines with stakeholders of your work
• Previous startup experience, working with non-technical customers, and examples of successfully proposing/delivering 0 to 1 projects
