Software Team Lead
Location: Ramat Gan, Tel Aviv District (IL)
Description
We’re looking for a Software Team Lead to take a central role in shaping the connectivity layer behind mission-critical drone and autonomous-system deployments. This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for someone who combines deep expertise in networking software with the ability to lead, mentor, and scale a strong engineering team. You’ll lead by example-building high-impact networking capabilities while driving quality, ownership, and fast, pragmatic execution.
Who are we?
Elsight is building the backbone of uncrewed systems. Our Halo platform is evolving from mission-critical connectivity into a broader uncrewed enablement platform - combining secure connectivity, positioning, video, and autonomy support into one unified solution. We operate at the intersection of hardware, software, and cloud, enabling uncrewed platforms to complete missions reliably even in contested, remote, or GNSS-denied environments. Our technology is already deployed globally in real operational use cases, trusted by demanding customers where performance and resilience matter most.
We’re a fast-growing, execution-driven team that values ownership, clarity, and professionalism. As a relatively small team, every role has a real impact. We work in a hybrid model from our office in Ramat Gan, right by the train lines.
