Senior Software Engineer

Who We Are

We started Dalus in 2024.

• Eliot was a test/systems engineer at Aerojet Rocketdyne (L3Harris), where he saw firsthand how siloed communication slowed down hardware teams.
• Sebastian previously founded a neurotech hardware startup and scaled a software company to exit.

We wrapped up YC W25, have revenue, and are working closely with aerospace, robotics, and defense customers

What You’ll Do

• Own major product features from idea to production
• Work directly with customers to understand pain points
• Help shape the architecture and engineering culture
• Get hands-on with AI workflows, model interfaces, and simulations
• Scale the platform to support real-world, high-stakes use cases

We won’t sugarcoat it — this will likely be the hardest you’ve ever worked. We move fast. We work late. We build on weekends.

But if that energizes you rather than scares you — you’ll probably grow more here in 1 year than in 5 anywhere else.

This role comes with significant ownership, learning, and impact. You’ll help define not just the product, but the company itself.

Nice to Have

• Experience with systems engineering, aerospace, manufacturing, or industrial software
• Interest in simulation, modeling tools, or AI workflows
• Past startup experience or personal projects that went deep

If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach to schedule 2-3 short technicals. The final step is an onsite in our office, where you'll work on a small project, discuss ideas, and meet the team.

Base Salary: $140k-$200k

Shares: 0.5-2.5%

A meeting lands on your calendar

If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
