About Us

Asylon is building the future of automated physical security

Founded by aerospace engineers out of MIT, Asylon exists to solve one of the world’s most fundamental problems: protecting people, property, and assets at scale. We design and deploy integrated robotics, software, and AI systems that operate continuously in the real world—where reliability is critical and failure is not an option. Our technology is already protecting lives and infrastructure every day.

The Asylon team brings deep roots in aerospace, defense, and mission-critical engineering, with experience spanning military aviation, naval defense platforms, and advanced commercial systems. That heritage shapes how we work: high standards, disciplined execution, and uncompromising integrity. We build and operate systems that deliver real outcomes for real customers.

We are assembling a team of engineers, operators, and leaders who want their work to matter—people who thrive in demanding environments, take pride in craftsmanship, and take ownership of results. At Asylon, you will help build category-defining technology, push the boundaries of what autonomous systems can do, and set the standard for an entirely new industry.

Our Product – Automated Physical Security

Our full-stack solution enables autonomous aerial and ground robots to operate persistently alongside human security teams—providing continuous situational awareness, rapid response capabilities, and actionable intelligence at scale. We believe the future of security is not humans or machines. It is humans + machines + AI working together—amplifying coverage, improving decision-making, and reducing risk.

Our platform transforms robots from experimental tools into dependable security assets. Deployed at customer sites today, Asylon systems conduct routine patrols, respond to incidents, and integrate directly into security operations—extending the reach of teams and fundamentally changing how physical security is delivered.

We are building the software infrastructure layer for the automated security economy. The work is exciting, and the mission is real.

Position

Asylon is looking for a software engineer to build and maintain the infrastructure services that power our robotic systems. You’ll develop Kubernetes-based services that run on edge devices deployed with our robots, on on-prem servers in air-gapped customer environments, and in cloud infrastructure — handling everything from telemetry ingestion and fleet coordination to video processing and alerting. This role bridges the gap between cloud, on-prem, and the physical world — you should be comfortable writing backend services and have enough hardware awareness to understand the constraints and realities of deploying software on robots in the field.

Due to the nature of some projects worked on in this position, applicants must be a U.S. Citizens

Primary Duties Include:

• Design, develop, and maintain containerized services deployed via Kubernetes (K3s on edge, on-prem clusters in air-gapped environments, and managed clusters in cloud)
• Build and operate data pipelines for robot telemetry, video, and sensor data across edge, on-prem, and cloud environments
• Develop and maintain APIs and internal tooling used by robotics and operations teams
• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting infrastructure to ensure system reliability across deployed fleets
• Collaborate with embedded and robotics engineers to define service interfaces and integration points between edge devices and cloud systems
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for service deployment, testing, and rollout
• Contribute to infrastructure-as-code for provisioning and managing cloud, on-prem, and edge resources
• Debug and resolve issues that span the full stack — from containerized services on a robot in the field to cloud backends

Required Skills and Experience

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong with a high-level language such as Python, Java, Go, or Rust for building backend services and automation
• Proficient with Kubernetes, including deploying, debugging, and operating containerized workloads
• Familiar with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) — provisioning infrastructure, managing services, and working with object storage, messaging, and databases. Some deployments run on-prem in air-gapped environments, so comfort working without cloud dependencies is a plus
• Background in CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, building, and deploying services
• Proficient with Linux as a development and deployment environment
• Comfortable with Git and collaborative development workflows

Bonus Points

• Exposure to K3s or lightweight Kubernetes on edge — running services on resource-constrained hardware in the field
• Has worked with robotics or IoT systems, particularly bridging edge devices and cloud infrastructure
• Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code tools such as OpenTofu, Terraform, Pulumi, or Ansible
• Familiarity with message brokers and streaming (MQTT, NATS, Kafka, or similar) for real-time data pipelines
• Experience with observability stacks — Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or similar monitoring and alerting tools
• Comfortable with networking fundamentals — DNS, firewalls, VPNs, and debugging connectivity issues between edge and cloud
• Has worked with video streaming or processing pipelines in a production environment
• Comfortable getting hands-on with hardware — you don’t need to be an embedded expert, but you should be the kind of person who’s built robots in a college club, tinkered with a Raspberry Pi, or isn’t afraid to plug into a serial console and debug a device on a bench
