AI Engineer

About the Company

Armada is the hyperscaler for the edge, delivering modular AI infrastructure from first deployment to AI factory with speed, scale and sovereignty. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and to the CNBC Disruptor 50, Armada’s solutions are deployed in over 60 countries globally for organizations ranging from energy to defense. 

With nearly $500 million in funding to date, Armada is backed by leading investors including Founders Fund, Lux, BlackRock and Microsoft (M12), alongside strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Dell, Palantir, NVIDIA, SpaceX, and Skydio. We are building the infrastructure layer for sovereign and edge AI - rugged, deployable compute for customers that cannot rely on centralized cloud.

Working at Armada means taking ownership, driving autonomy, and delivering impact. You’ll tackle challenges that haven’t been solved before and help build something transformative from the ground up. What you do here will not only define your career but help further Armada’s mission to bridge the digital divide for customers around the world. 

  About the role

Armada is seeking exceptional AI Engineers to build and deploy intelligent systems at the edge of the physical world.

You will develop production AI for offshore energy platforms, remote mines, defense installations, transportation networks, industrial facilities, autonomous systems, and distributed camera and sensor networks. These systems must operate reliably under real-world constraints, including intermittent connectivity, strict latency requirements, limited compute, noisy data, changing conditions, and rigorous security demands.

Depending on your expertise, your work may span multimodal and generative AI, real-time computer vision, large language and vision-language models, robotics, reinforcement learning, statistical machine learning, time-series analysis, anomaly detection, or distributed AI inference.

This role is intended for engineers with at least three years of relevant industry experience who have moved beyond experimentation, RAG implementation, and model prototyping. You will own substantial portions of the AI lifecycle, from problem definition and data preparation through model development, optimization, evaluation, deployment, observability, and continuous improvement in production.

The strongest candidates combine rigorous ML and AI fundamentals with strong software-engineering judgment. They are equally comfortable interpreting research, implementing and evaluating new methods, diagnosing performance bottlenecks, and deploying resilient containerized AI services on GPUs across cloud, data-center, and disconnected edge environments.
