ABOUT GALLATIN

At Gallatin, we are rebuilding logistics infrastructure for the national security missions of the United States and allied partners. We build AI systems that determine how logistics decisions are made — not just how they're executed. From factory to foxhole, we operate at the layer where data becomes decisions, and decisions make the advantage.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Backend Software Engineer to design, build, and scale the core systems that power our AI-driven logistics platform. This is a foundational role: you’ll own reliable, high-performance backend services, APIs, and data pipelines that our products depend on.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Backend Development & System Design
  • Create scalable, resilient backend services and APIs for our logistics solutions.
  • Own system architecture, balancing performance, scalability, and security.
  • Partner with front-end, AI/ML, and product teams to integrate services smoothly.
  • Drive high availability and reliability through proactive monitoring, logging, and alerting.
  • Build and maintain thorough testing strategies (unit, integration, and performance) to keep the platform stable.
  • Data Processing & Integration
  • Develop pipelines that ingest data from real-time, batch, structured, and unstructured sources.
  • Ensure data is consistent, reliable, and available through thoughtful schema design and database optimization.
  • Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
  • Contribute to code reviews, coding standards, best practices, and documentation.
  • Track backend development trends and introduce improvements to our stack where they make sense.
  • Support the onboarding and mentoring of new teammates as the team grows.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • Strong Technical Background
  • Proficiency in one or more backend languages: Python, Node.js, Typescript or Java
  • Solid understanding of API design and implementation (REST, GraphQL).
  • Hands-on experience with relational and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, or Redis.
  • Cloud & Infrastructure Experience
  • Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Experience deploying and running containerized applications with Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Understanding of infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Software Best Practices
  • Experience with software testing methodologies (unit, integration, end-to-end testing).
  • A commitment to writing clean, maintainable, well-documented code.
  • Problem-solving & Communication
  • Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to debug complex systems.
  • Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across teams and explain technical concepts clearly.
  • Growth Mindset
  • Passion for continuous learning and staying current with the latest advancements in backend engineering, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure, as well as a commitment to mentoring and teaching others.

BONUS POINTS

- Experience with building and integrating on Palantir Foundry and its various offerings

- Knowledge of defense or logistics industries and legacy system modernization.

- Contributions to open-source software or active engagement with the developer community.

MISSION AND IDENTITY

We are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we're doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before. We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard. We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn't stop until something actually works.

Our mission is to create decision advantage when the stakes are the highest. If we succeed, the system doesn't just run; it gets smarter. We're not building AI for its own sake. We're building it because faster, smarter decisions in the most demanding environments on earth can't wait. If you want to work somewhere the stakes are real and the mission is urgent — you'll fit in here.

WHY GALLATIN?

The logistics infrastructure that supports America's warfighters and humanitarian disaster responders is overdue for transformation, and we are building it. From defense operations to disaster response, we're solving the hardest problems that keep missions moving when it matters most. Join a team where the mission is the point.

Compensation: Gallatin offers competitive compensation commensurate with experience. Actual compensation may vary based on experience, skills, and location. In addition to base salary, we offer a generous equity grant, full healthcare coverage, 401k, unlimited PTO, and the perks of working in a high-caliber, mission-driven environment.

Gallatin is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.

This position may require the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance. The successful candidate must be able to work in a classified environment when necessary.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
