What We Do
Primordial Labs is building Anura, the next-generation human-machine interface. Anura allows operators to command, control, and collaborate with uncrewed systems through natural language, just like they would with a human teammate. Our mission is to make it easier for warfighters to harness the power of autonomous systems on the battlefield.
Job Description
(Please Note: This is a 100% remote position that requires residence in the United States.)
We are seeking a talented Software Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will transform innovative ideas and research into production-grade, high-performance software. You will tackle challenging, performance-critical problems in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. As a company co-founded and led by engineers, we prioritize developer experience. We minimize distractions (read: meetings) and provide tools to maximize productivity. We are also committed to offering competitive total compensation, including equity.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with the R&D team to transform innovative concepts and prototypes into robust, high-performance production code
- Optimize software for efficiency, portability, and maintainability
- Conduct performance analysis and apply low-level optimizations where necessary
- Maintain a strong focus on code quality, testing, and thorough documentation
Qualifications
- Expertise in C++ and Python.
- Extensive experience working with performance-critical applications or algorithms
- Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and design patterns
- Proficiency in debugging, profiling, and optimizing system-level code
- Exceptional problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Application Process
We have a two-stage interview process:
- Screener Interview: A 30-minute discussion about relevant engineering concepts and your past experience.
- Offline Coding Test: We provide an at-your-own-pace test focused on algorithm and system design. After completion, you'll present your solution in a follow-up call. This allows us to understand your thought processes and technical approach.
We are committed to a low-stress interview experience—no trick questions or brain teasers!

What We Do
Primordial Labs is building the next-generation human-machine teaming interface, Anura, to empower warfighters to collaborate with uncrewed systems (UxS) using natural language.
With Anura, operators become active collaborators, not passive observers, in the human-machine team. Anura allows operators to verbally task robotic teammates and act as a “quarterback” while remaining heads-up and focused on the mission objective.
Primordial Labs was founded in 2021 by Lee Ritholtz and Adrian Pope. The company is headquartered in New Haven, Connecticut.
