However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.###

ABOUT

THE ROLE Applied is seeking a Software Engineer with strong foundations in algorithmic optimization and multi-agent systems. You’ll tackle complex computational challenges in our real-time decision-making platform, designing and implementing advanced algorithms that push the boundaries of autonomous coordination and planning. We seek motivated engineers driven by core mission values to join our Acuity Autonomous Behaviors and Agents engineering team focused on next-generation human-machine teaming and real-time decision-making systems.

You’ll help build intelligent agents that plan and execute missions using advanced reasoning, planning, and optimization algorithms. Our work spans real-time scenarios, heterogeneous platforms (air, space, land, surface, sub-surface), and software that integrates seamlessly with human operators. If you thrive in fast-moving, mission-oriented environments and love building autonomy that help our warfighters, this is your role.

Your work will support our Axion and Acuity family of systems, enabling breakthrough capabilities in human-machine teaming across all domains. If you’re passionate about applying cutting-edge algorithms to solve mission-critical coordination problems, this role offers exceptional opportunities to advance the state of the art in autonomous decision making systems.

AT APPLIED, YOU WILL:
* Design and implement multi-agent optimization algorithms for distributed decision-making and coordination problems
* Develop temporal logic frameworks and constraint-satisfaction algorithms for complex planning scenarios
* Create mathematical models for sequential decision process under uncertainty with probabilistic outcomes
* Build computational frameworks that balance algorithmic efficiency with human-interpretable reasoning
* Implement and evaluate quantitative metrics for algorithm performance, solution quality, and computational efficiency WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS:
* BS or MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field, OR 5+ years of professional experience developing intelligent agents or planning systems.
* 5+ years of…
