What is Armory?
What we are building requires hard work, tenacity, ownership, creativity, and way more man-hours than an everyday job.
If you are a savant at what you do, love autonomy, have high agency, and genuinely want to impact the future of this country, we want you to work with us starting yesterday!
Modern conflicts waged remotely demand a radical rethinking of strategy as adversaries deploy inexpensive drones and technology to inflict maximum damage with minimal risk.
If you prefer routine over the dynamic unpredictability of innovation, Armory isn't for you. Our fast-paced environment requires genuine curiosity, resilience, a passion for continuous learning, and comfort with rapid change.
Armory is a new-age defence tech startup building next-generation products to strengthen Indian forces in the modern battlefields.
About the founder
Amardeep Singh is an IIT Bombay alumnus & an aerospace engineer by education. He was a founding member of ideaForge - currently India’s biggest drone company & the first drone company to get listed on the Indian stock exchange.
His 16-year entrepreneurial journey is marked by a series of ambitious ventures spanning across diverse tech domains like Drones, Consumer Hardware, B2B SaaS & AI.
About this role
You will be responsible for both front-end and back-end development of robust, secure, and user-friendly applications tailored for defence technology.
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable web, mobile & desktop applications.
- Previous experience with Hardware, Software, and/or IoT is a plus.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.
- Ensure the performance, security, quality, and responsiveness of applications.
- Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code with a focus on security best practices.
Must haves
- Architect and build scalable full-stack applications (web-first, with desktop extensibility via Tauri/Electron where needed), with 3–5 years of hands-on professional experience across frontend and backend systems.
- Build and maintain secure, production-grade APIs in Python (3.10+) using FastAPI, typed end-to-end with Pydantic models for every request, response, message, and config object. If you don't use Pydantic everywhere, this isn't the job for you.
- Deep, working fluency with asyncio, not just async/await syntax, but event loop mechanics, task management, cancellation, backpressure, and debugging async deadlocks under production pressure.
- Design and implement real-time data pipelines using WebSockets, SSE, and message buses (MQTT, JSON-RPC over multiple transports) for live sensor and telemetry data.
- Comfortable working close to hardware, integrating software systems with IoT devices, SDR pipelines, microcontrollers, and embedded subsystems over serial, USB, or LAN.
- Design PostgreSQL schemas with performance, integrity, and operational scale in mind; understand indexing, partitioning, and time-series data patterns.
- Own CI/CD pipelines, containerisation (Docker), testing (pytest with async test coverage), and release workflows on Linux
- Linux-native: comfortable administering Ubuntu/Debian systems, writing systemd services, configuring networking, and diagnosing issues without a GUI.
- AI-native in the right way, you use tools like Claude the way a sculptor uses a chisel: precise, intentional, and with a clear mental model of what the model will produce and why. You can articulate exactly what a model will generate, where it will hallucinate, and when not to trust it. You do not ship vibecoded slop.
Bonus points for
- Experience with Tauri (Rust + WebView) for packaging desktop/kiosk Linux applications
- Familiarity with SDR concepts, I/Q data, signal processing pipelines, RF subsystem integration
- Geospatial data handling, UTM, MGRS, GeoJSON, Mapbox/Leaflet
- uv for Python packaging and dependency management
- Experience with data-dense operational UIs, not CRUD dashboards, but systems where operators make real-time decisions under pressure
What will make you successful in this role?
- Deep Technical Expertise in your domain.
- Shipping features weekly.
- Knack of integrating software for hardware systems in record time.
- Getting s**t done.
