Working in Defence means building software for complex, secure systems, integrating with legacy platforms, and meeting Defence standards. Reliability is non-negotiable because soldiers in the field cannot wait for a system to restart or for data to upload. Our tools must work flawlessly every time, under pressure, and at scale.
At the same time, software teams in Defence are constantly innovating. Engineers tackle challenging technical problems across multiple areas: deploying applications in secure distributed cloud environments, designing for scalability, performance, and high availability, and ensuring cyber security across all systems.
SitaWare Insight delivers critical intelligence for military missions, using AI to process vast battlefield data and provide commanders with real-time, actionable insights. Working in this domain requires a hands-on, experimental mindset, as engineers must explore, prototype, and validate technologies that often have no pre-existing training.
SitaWare Insight is built on a modern tech stack that combines Angular for dynamic interfaces, Java with Spring Boot for robust backend services, containerized deployments using Docker on Kubernetes with Istio, and a data backbone powered by Kafka, PostgreSQL, and Grafana - supported by CI/CD and collaboration tools like TeamCity, Bitbucket, and JIRA.
Innovation is essential in Defence. Modern software must keep pace with evolving operational needs, enabling forces to make smarter, faster decisions. By combining reliability with cutting-edge tech, our engineers deliver tools that are mission-critical today and shape the future of Defence technology.
Watch the full interview with Allan Carsten, Project Manager, and see how engineers in Defence combine reliability with cutting-edge tech to deliver mission-critical solutions.
