Fathom5 is an industrial technology company building security-first Brilliant Machines to accelerate Industry 4.0. Our work requires us to think critically, act boldly, and move quickly.
Fathom5 builds Brilliant Machines™ at the intersection of AI and grease. Using our unique security-first approach to cyber-physical system design, Fathom5 works with public and private sector customers to build the industrial systems of the future. We focus on solutions targeting critical infrastructure to make our industrial base more resilient, more flexible, and more efficient.
If you have ever played a modern combat video game and wondered who makes those sorts of amazing capabilities in the real world, the answer is – It could be you!
We are looking for Software Engineers with C++ experience to modernize the U.S. Navy’s Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) system. CEC is a real-time sensor netting system that enables high quality situational awareness and integrated fire control. It is designed to enhance the capability of U.S. Navy warships, jets, and Marine Corps assets to cooperatively track, target and engage adversary craft.
We are looking for a curious, creative, and mission-driven Software Engineer to join our CEC team. She/he has the technical knowledge and capability to understand and modernize a large C++ codebase and then systematically express and execute their ideas in code and in technical documentation to support our mission of building Brilliant Machines.
This job might be for you if:
- You enjoy solving challenging problems with small, cross-functional teams. Our engineers own the projects they take on, and think through all aspects of the solutions they propose and implement.
- You enjoy mentoring team members, reviewing pull requests and naturally find yourself as the go-to individual that others come to when they need help.
- You have clear ideas about well-architected software, and clean code. Our engineers not only understand and apply the appropriate best practices — they help define them.
- You pay attention to the details and believe anything worth doing is worth doing right — every single time. Our engineers are working on mission-critical systems and perform their work with intention and discipline.
What you'll gain at Fathom5:
- Professional mentorship and leadership opportunities
- Annual education benefit
- Stock options
- Travel opportunities
- A supportive and collaborative workplace culture
- Medical, vision, and dental coverage (for you and your dependents!)

- Have practical experience writing or maintaining a C++ codebase of several thousand lines of code
- Mentor junior team members in improving their coding skills.
- Seek out and claim challenging tasks/issues for development
- Write detailed technical reports to communicate progress on objectives
- Create, manage, and implement various level of development and integration testing

- Be intimately familiar with developing and maintaining software projects with a microservices architecture
- Be accustomed to everyday use of Windows and UNIX CLI tools
- Have familiarity with cloud computing platforms
- Have the ability to resolve Git conflicts
- Be cognizant of project technical debt and its management
- Be experienced in testing high reliability systems to include performance monitoring of strict timing requirements between code modules.
