Tagup is a Series A defense technology company, founded at MIT, that is delivering logistics decision advantage with next-generation AI. It all started on a balcony at MIT, with an idea about monitoring asset data via the cloud using passive RFID tags (TAG) - sent up (UP) to the cloud. Our product Manifest— is the operating system for the physical world. We’re a team of engineers and data scientists driven by our mission to use reinforcement learning and probabilistic modeling to optimize military logistics and critical infrastructure, ensuring our customers get the best performance they can out of the resources. You make a real world impact where your code won't just optimize a shopping cart or a compute primitive. It will optimize supply chains for the U.S. military and prevent catastrophic failures in critical infrastructure. We do not use proprietary tooling or build systems and deployment pipelines. We build on modern, open standards you can apply in any space. You won't just own a slice of a service. You will own entire architectural domains—from API design and data modeling to deployment and monitoring strategies. You’ll work directly with PhD-level data scientists and former special operators. We value high-velocity decision-making over "approval chains." The Role You know how to operate at scale. You live by ownership and bias for action. But working within the confines of a massive company or cloud provider, your scope is often limited to a single service, proprietary internal tooling, and endless operational reviews. This is a "0 to 1" role. We don't need you to maintain a legacy service with 10 years of tech debt. We need you to architect the core platform that ingests, processes, and acts on billions of data points from the physical world. It's an opportunity to escape the service team grind.
