Job Description
Who we are
Lysk is a European defence startup. Our mission is to create modern software tailored for hostile environments. Backed by Europe’s leading defence VC, and high-profile angel investors, we’re assembling a world-class team at the intersection of modern software and defence. We do not work on weapons systems or hardware products.
Our founding team includes two early Cloudflare employees and a former GIGN commander (French special forces). We're actively looking for an experienced customer facing founding engineer to help us with our first deployments, while we reach product-market fit.
What you’ll work on

You should be prepared to get your hands dirty with bespoke audio streaming tech and real-time voice systems.

- Technical Enablement & Solution Design

- Product Feedback & Field Insights
- Support & Technical Documentation
Who we’re looking for

- Have experience with implementing AI systems in resource constrained environments
- Are comfortable diving into audio processing and low-latency systems
- Want your work to have real-world impact, helping those who serve
- Have experience working with armed forces
- Thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
- Are able to clearly communicate complex technical systems in simple ways
- Must be a native French speaker & have ability to get French security clearance.
Location & Compensation
- We’re currently hiring in Paris 🇫🇷 (we have other roles in Warsaw 🇵🇱 too)
- Frequent travel will be required (in and out of France)
- We have an in office culture and can sponsor relocation, if required
- Compensation will depend on experience; expected range €60–100K + generous equity (BSPCE)
