Infrastructure Software Engineer

About Overland AI 

Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Overland AI is transforming land operations for modern defense. The company leverages over a decade of advanced research in robotics and machine learning, as well as a field-test forward ethos, to deliver combined capabilities for unit commanders. Our OverDrive autonomy stack enables ground vehicles to navigate and operate off-road in any terrain without GPS or direct operator control. Our intuitive OverWatch C2 interface provides commanders with precise coordination capabilities essential for mission success.  

Overland AI has secured funding from prominent defense tech investors, including 8VC and Point 72, and built trusted partnerships with DARPA, the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command. Backed by eight-figure contracts across the Department of Defense, we are strengthening national security by iterating closely with end users engaged in tactical operations.   

Role Summary 

Overland AI is building off-road autonomy, and our software infrastructure is the backbone that enables our teams to move fast, experiment safely, and ship mission-critical systems. As a Software Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll design, build, and maintain the internal software systems that power our AI/ML workflows, connect our robots, and streamline developer operations across the company. 

You will own core services used daily by researchers, roboticists, and field teams — including internal APIs, experiment tooling, data systems, and compute orchestration. This role is ideal for an engineer who loves building robust systems, improving developer velocity, and shaping the foundation that our autonomy stack relies on. 

You’ll collaborate closely with the infrastructure team, ML teams, and robotics teams to build reliable, observable, well-structured systems in a hybrid cloud/on-prem environment. 

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain internal services and tooling used across AI/ML, autonomy, and field operations teams
