Arondite is a defence technology company building the foundational software and AI to power the autonomous age. Our aim is to transform how organisations collaborate with robots, sensors and autonomous systems, and how they use the data those systems generate. We are driven by our determination to help defend our collective democratic values and by our belief that a small group of exceptional engineers can make a disproportionate difference. We are ambitious, well funded and building for the long term.
You would join Arondite at a pivotal point in the company’s growth. We are building the company with exceptional engineers who are motivated by technically difficult, high-impact work and who consistently deliver outsized results. You will work alongside people who care deeply about craft, speed, judgment and mission value.
You will have ownership and autonomy from day one. There is no corporate ladder at Arondite. From your first day, you will directly influence how Arondite’s technology is deployed, how the product evolves, and how we support customers operating in complex real-world environments.
About the role:
We work closely alongside our customers to deploy our technology in demanding operational settings. As a Deployed Software Engineer in Oslo, you will help implement Arondite’s products with Norwegian customers and partners so that they solve real problems outside the lab, not just in demonstrations.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, deployment and customer understanding. You will travel to customer offices, test sites, exercises and field environments, learn unfamiliar systems quickly, and write software that makes Arondite’s platform useful in the context that matters to the user. You will also collect feedback from operators, engineers and programme stakeholders, then work with the wider engineering team to ensure lessons from the field shape the core product.
For Norway, this role is especially important because the opportunity is fundamentally about interoperability. The UK-Norway Lunna House Agreement and wider NATO integration needs all point to the same challenge: connecting heterogeneous autonomous platforms, sensors and software into a coherent operational picture. Cobalt is well positioned as that integration layer, and this role helps make that proposition real in practice.
The initial operating model may combine regular Oslo presence with support from the wider UK team while the local footprint expands. Over time, this role is expected to become a highly trusted technical presence in market: someone who can support trials, shape deployments, build credibility with users and help inform Arondite’s broader Norway strategy.
Your responsibilities will include:
Travel to customer and partner sites in Norway, the UK and occasionally elsewhere to understand operational use cases first hand
Deploy Arondite’s products into customer environments and adapt them to real-world technical constraints
Write secure, robust production-quality software in support of customer deployments and fielded use cases
Interface with autonomous systems, robotics platforms, sensors and legacy systems in live test or exercise settings
Work through integration challenges involving heterogeneous Norwegian, UK and NATO-aligned systems
Collaborate directly with users to refine implementations and maximise mission value
Feed product insight back into the core engineering team so the platform improves based on real deployment learning
Partner with colleagues across software, AI/ML, networking, product and strategy to solve hard customer problems quickly
Help establish a culture of engineering excellence, pragmatism and ownership within the deployed team
