Head of AI / ML & Technology

Building the Future of Autonomous Mission Intelligence

The Opportunity

Imagine being the technical architect behind AI that saves lives, protects nations, and transforms how the world's most critical decisions are made. At Museigen, we're not building another SaaS tool or consumer app – we're creating Merlin Cortex , an autonomous intelligence platform that transforms overwhelming real-time data into decisive action where seconds and sovereignty matter.

We've already signed multiple contracts with some of the l argest defence and aerospace companies in the world , major telecommunications players , and are working on transformative projects we can't fully disclose yet. This isn't a "maybe someday" startup – we're actively deploying AI that operates across diverse environments, making decisions that impact national security and global infrastructure.

As our Head of AI / ML & Technology, you won't just build technology – you'll shape the future of how humanity makes its most critical decisions.

About Museigen

We're pioneering the Autonomous Mission Intelligence category with our Merlin platform – AI that doesn't just analyze, but decides and acts in real-time, even in the most challenging operational environments. Our technology delivers :

Ultra-low latency decision-making at unprecedented scale

Advanced optimization techniques that push the boundaries of computational efficiency

Intelligent multi-agent coordination for complex distributed operations

Seamless deployment flexibility from tactical edge to enterprise scale

Military-grade security and compliance architecture from the ground up

We're at an inflexion point where our proven pilots are converting to production deployments, and we need a visionary technical leader to scale our impact globally.
