Full job description
Company Overview
Metrea delivers effects-as-a-service to national security partners across five domains and more than a dozen mission areas. These include airborne ISR, electronic warfare, secure communications, aerial refueling, special air missions, aerial firefighting, and advanced simulation. We own the whole stack: designing, building, and operating turnkey capabilities that give our partners decisive, asymmetric advantage against rapidly evolving threats.
Our operating model is built around three interlocking pillars. The Support Groups provide a global shared-service – spanning people, finance, platform, operations, legal, and engagement. This frees up our Core Groups, who develop and own mission capabilities end-to-end, to focus entirely on delivery. The Market Groups apply a regional lens, ensuring that our agile and adaptable capabilities remain aligned to the wicked problems that matter most to our partners across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific.
At the heart of our model is a simple but powerful idea: be a true partner with skin in the game. Our partners need effects, not just equipment. By owning the full stack – from the lab to the field – we are able to drive a continuous cycle of innovation that keeps our partners ahead. It's a fast-moving, intellectually demanding environment where talented people are given real responsibility, work on problems that matter, and contribute to an enterprise that is growing quickly and deliberately.
Headquartered in Washington, DC, with facilities across the United States, the United Kingdom, as well as Continental Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Group Overview
Electromagnetic and Cyber Group (EM&C) is responsible for developing flexible and survivable advanced electronic warfare and secure communications equipment while providing the industry’s leading signals intelligence, electronic warfare, and cyber experts. Metrea specializes in signal classification, direction finding, advanced geolocation techniques, and waveform development including waveforms for MANET and LPI/LPD applications. Metrea also develops special purpose radios for government customers and licenses DF and geolocation solutions to multiple OEMs.
Position Summary
We're hiring a software engineer to build the systems behind our edge sensing and secure-communications products. You'll spend most of your time writing production code, designing services and data pipelines, researching new technologies, and making distributed software run reliably on constrained Linux devices in the real world. This is a builder's role. You'll own technical problems end to end—from rough requirements to shipped, tested, deployable code—and work closely with engineers who live at the intersection of software, networking, and wireless. If you like turning hard, loosely-defined problems into clean systems that actually run in the field, you'll fit here.
What You'll Do
Write production Rust for real-time data ingestion, processing, and device control
Design and build modular services and APIs that span edge devices and backend infrastructure
Build data pipelines that feed analysis and automation
Integrate your software with network stacks, wireless tooling, and external data sources
Implement automation frameworks—rule-based workflows, triggers, and orchestration
Deploy and tune software on resource-constrained Linux systems, and debug system-level, networking, and performance issues when they surface
Prototype quickly and iterate as requirements evolve
Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and field teams to make the whole system work as one
What You Bring
Proficiency in Rust, Python, and Bash
Experience building backend, systems, or distributed software
Real fluency in Linux—services, processes, debugging, and performance tuning
Ability to work independently and deliver from loosely defined requirements
Additional Eligibility Qualifications
Familiarity with wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, BLE, cellular, SDR)
Experience with edge or embedded systems (e.g., ARM, Jetson, Raspberry Pi)
Working knowledge of C# and/or JavaScript
Exposure to security-focused engineering, red teaming, or penetration testing
Benefits
Comprehensive medical plan options
HSA/FSA accounts
Dental and vision coverage
6% employer 401(k) match
Fully paid parental leave for all new parents
Generous PTO
Life and disability insurance
Long-term and Short-term disability coverage
AD&D Coverage

Employee Assistance Program
Subsided gym membership / plans through Wellhub
Work Authorization / Security Clearance
Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
Must be a U.S. citizen.
This position requires eligibility to obtain a Top Secret / TS/SCI clearance. Candidates will be subject to a background investigation in accordance with federal requirements. Employment is contingent on meeting all clearance and adjudication requirements.

Our Firmware
At Metrea, our single core value is Rooted in Humility, and our four cornerstone attributes are Entrepreneurial, Systematic, Discerning, and Over-Deliver. These form what we call our Teammate Firmware. Just like technical firmware connects software and hardware, our Firmware is the constant interface between our mission and our people. It defines how we show up, how we work together, and how we solve complex problems.
Our team Firmware creates a web-like, hyper-collaborative, dynamically hierarchical way of working that helps us adapt quickly, communicate openly, and distribute decision-making to where expertise actually lives. It enables groups to self-organize around hard problems, shift fluidly as priorities evolve, and operate with the trust, curiosity, and discipline required in a complex mission space. This foundation allows us to deliver elegant, effective solutions and uphold our purpose: protecting our precious inheritance.
Providing solutions for the toughest problems in national security. Multi-mission, multi-domain, effects-based.
