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
