About the role
Who we are Picogrid is a leading venture-backed defense technology company founded to bridge the decades-long gap between modern technology and the critical demands of national security. Today, we're building the essential infrastructure to unify sensors, autonomy, and operators with our technology deployed in active operations around the world. Our mission is to deliver an operational advantage to secure the United States and its allies.
About
the Role This is not a traditional EA role. You'll work directly with all three of our co-founders: our CEO, Head of Engineering, and Head of Growth, sitting at the center of everything we do. You'll see across the full company, from engineering and product to BD, partnerships, and fundraising. We designed this role intentionally as a launchpad. A successful hire will learn how decisions get made at Picogrid, develop deep pattern recognition about what it takes to build a defense startup, and ultimately will have the option to hire their own replacement and move into a functional role on
the team. If you're a sharp executor who wants a front-row seat to building a company and a clear path to more, this is for you.
