Software Engineer (GRI)

About the role

Lyntris is a defense technology company that connects sensing to action across the connected battlespace. We combine hardware, software, and mission expertise to help customers sense threats, make sense of complex conditions, and act with greater speed, precision, and confidence in contested environments. We support U.S. and allied defense organizations across various branches and domains, and we move faster than the traditional defense cycle.
