Full Time Senior-level / Expert Clearance required USD 159K - 245K *
Modern Intelligence
Our first product, Cutlass, is an automated targeting AI that detects, remembers, and shares targets in real time across various sensors on any network. This system delivers modular, insightful intelligence about the location of adversaries, applicable to drones, ships, vehicles, satellites, or command centers. Our AI research enables Cutlass to identify targets efficiently, requiring minimal data and computational resources, while maintaining intuitive and humane operations. Cutlass has undergone extensive testing in numerous Department of Defense (DoD) exercises and has proven its efficacy in sea, land, and air environments, bolstered by strong industry partnerships.
We have raised more than $12M from investors such as Bedrock, Vine, Contrary, Air Street, Caffeinated, Champion Hill, Swell, Myelin and others and our team members come from backgrounds like Naval Special Warfare, Anduril, biotech, classified prime projects, and ML research programs.
We are gathering the most ambitious AI researchers, software engineers, and mission leaders in defense because we believe defense is the future of defense, and defense is the future of AI.
