Senior/Staff Forward Deployed Engineer - Resilient Edge & Tactical Networking
About Us:
At webAI we firmly believe that the future of AI lies in distributed processing at the edge, bringing computation closer to the source of data generation. Our mission is to build a future where local and private is the default, servers and data centers are optional. Where valuable data and intellectual property remain entirely private, enabling the deployment of large-scale AI models directly on standard consumer hardware without compromising the information embedded within those models. We are developing an end-to-end platform that is secure, scalable, and fully under the control of our users, empowering enterprises with AI that understands their unique business.
About the Role
We are looking for Senior Engineers to drive webAI Public Sector initiatives focused on secure, resilient, and distributed data systems operating at the tactical edge.
In our world, network connectivity isn't guaranteed. Systems must thrive in Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) bandwidth environments. We are less concerned with formal peer-to-peer or blockchain dogmas and far more focused on practical, robust edge synchronization: building systems that can discover local nodes, store-and-forward critical data across ad-hoc transports (such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), and reconcile state once connectivity is restored.
This is real-world edge work built for dynamic field settings, rather than sterile cloud data centers or closed SCIF environments. You will architect software running across a hybrid footprint of edge nodes, mobile endpoints, and cloud sync services.
Responsibilities
- Architect Resilient Transport & Sync Layers: Design and implement store-and-forward transport and data-synchronization protocols tailored for low-bandwidth, high-latency, and DDIL field conditions.
- Ad-Hoc Networking & Discovery: Implement local peer discovery and async I/O transports operating over heterogeneous physical links, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE, and ad-ho...
