Backed by top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Spark Capital, and Renegade Partners, ASI delivers operational decision superiority—compressing days of analysis into seconds of action. ASI is leading the way and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. ## What You Will Do You'll join ASI's new Mission Operations function, serving as an operationally excellent force multiplier for our most important customer-facing programs and internal initiatives. Your job will be to forward deploy across the business and act as the bridge between operational challenges and mission outcomes. You will embed directly with business units to drive execution, remove roadblocks, and anticipate needs to ensure teams remain focused on the most important things. This isn't traditional project management. You'll thrive in ambiguity, add structure where it helps, cut through bureaucracy rather than reinforce it, and do whatever it takes to get the mission across the finish line. You’ll be expected to: - Drive the mission: You’re not a credit seeker or turf builder, you’re here to get things done. - Be the operational Backbone: You’ll partner with leadership across the business to keep execution on track, absorbing the operational load so they can focus on the hardest problems. - Set operating cadence and prioritization: Run the rhythm that keeps teams aligned. Own standups, agendas, pre-reads, decisions, and follow-ups so nothing falls through the cracks and every meeting earns its time. - See the forest and the trees: Anticipate issues and come with solutions. You need to be in the details, but also be able to look up and see what’s coming. - Measure what matters: Work with deployment and tech leads to define and track the metrics that drive velocity, then use them to make decisions, not just reports. ## What We Value - Exceptional operators who take ownership, solve problems, and drive execution in complex, ambiguous environments. - Strong project and program management instincts, with the ability to track details, identify risks, and keep teams moving without unnecessary process. - Customer-facing credibility and the ability to build trust with customers, government stakeholders, and internal teams. - Technical fluency and the ability to work credibly with engineers and understand technical tradeoffs. An engineering or technical background is a plus. - Bias for action and sound judgment. When something breaks, you make the first move to fix it. - Adaptability and composure in high-pressure environments where priorities and information can change quickly. ## How We Hire We look at the interview process not as a screening or test, but rather as an opportunity to simulate what it would look like working together. We build the interview process around you. ASI works with export-controlled technology and restricted U.S. Government data, including on contracts mandating U.S. immigration status and location restrictions for performing personnel. Employment offers are contingent on ability to timely obtain all required authorizations for contemplated job duties. ## About Air Space Intelligence ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Air Space Intelligence (ASI) builds AI-powered software that enables predictive situational awareness and optimization for mission-critical operations in defense, aviation, and critical infrastructure. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B, total funding $34.35M) - **Headquarters**: Boston, Massachusetts, United States (with offices in Gdansk, Poland, and Washington, D.C.) - **Founded**: 2018 - **Founders**: Phillip Buckendorf (CEO) and Kris Dorosz (Co-Founder & CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industries**: Defense & national security, commercial aviation, logistics, critical infrastructure (energy, transportation) - **Target customers**: B2B and B2G – large enterprises (e.g., world’s largest airlines, Alaska Airlines) and U.S. government agencies (U.S. Air Force, FAA, DIU) - **Mission statement**: “To transform reaction into foresight, powering decisions that can’t be wrong.” ## Products & Services - **PRESCIENCE Platform**: A four-dimensional (geospatial + temporal) simulation and AI-driven decision support system that fuses multi-modal data, models operational domains, predicts future states, and recommends optimized courses of action. Used for logistics, air operations, and energy grid management. - **Defense Solutions**: The Logistics Kill Chain – software that applies kill-chain thinking to sustainment, enabling operators to find, target, and mitigate logistics friction at machine speed. - **Commercial Solutions**: AI for multi-modal freight, airlines (flight operations optimization), and energy grid operations (collaboration with National Grid). ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed. - **Key Metric**: Annual revenue not disclosed; **total funding**: $34.35M across 6 rounds (Seed, Series A, Series B, grants). - **Notable Investors**: Andreessen Horowitz, Spark Capital, Renegade Partners, Gradient (Google’s AI fund), Bloomberg Beta. - **Recent Milestones & Growth Signals**: - Awarded an $875M FAA contract to modernize the National Airspace System. - Collaborations with U.S. Air Force (NITMRE-GEO) and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU). - Partnered with National Grid to deploy operational AI for electric grids. - **138 employees** (38.6% YoY growth, +44 people). - 25 active job postings (+66.7% YoY). - LinkedIn followers: 5,434 (+81.3% yearly). ## Competitive Advantages - **Dual-use capability**: Serving both commercial and defense customers with the same core platform, enabling cross-sector innovation and scale. - **Domain-specific AI**: Deep modeling of geospatial and temporal operations (aviation, logistics, energy) – not generic AI but purpose-built for mission-critical workflows. - **Speed of deployment**: Claimed ability to deploy predictive capabilities in weeks, not years, due to open data architecture and domain modeling engine. - **Team composition**: Mix of top software/ML engineers and industry veterans with decades of mission experience (e.g., Jeppesen, MITRE, Amazon, Intel). ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities**: Expanding defense contracts (U.S. and allies), scaling into new mission-critical verticals (energy, supply chain), and deepening AI/ML capabilities for predictive operations. - **Direction**: Moving beyond visibility to predictability – helping operators act on the future state rather than reacting to past data. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: High-energy, mission-driven environment where “speed matters” and autonomy is granted early. Emphasizes merit over experience, intellectual curiosity, and resourceful builders. - **Work policy**: Flexible work hours and flexible time off (output-based). Offices in Boston, Gdansk, and Washington, D.C. – likely hybrid/remote-friendly (global team supporting 24/7 operations). - **Perks**: Premium healthcare, competitive salary + equity, team lunches, ergonomic office equipment, and modern productivity tools. - **Engineering culture**: Strong focus on impactful work (systems already monitoring tens of thousands of flights globally), collaboration across distributed teams, and a mantra of “today is better than tomorrow.” - **Ratings**: 4.7/5 on LinkedIn (6 reviews), with high marks for culture (4.8), compensation, and work-life balance (4.6). ## Sources 1.
