Our founding team is ex-Palantir with direct experience delivering mission-critical software to HHS, NIH, and other federal institutions. We are based in New York City and work in-office every day. We operate with an extremely flat structure. We ship, we learn, we compound. ## The Role You will design and build core systems that power autonomous agent orchestration across the most critical vertical within our country. This is not a feature-team role. You will own real subsystems with the autonomy and accountability that most engineers don't see until years into their careers. ## What You Will Build - Agent runtime — execution engine, task scheduling, state management, exception handling, and human-escalation pathways - Complex agent orchestration — multi-agent coordination, tool use, real-time decision-making pipelines that process clinical documents, voice interactions, and multimodal healthcare data - Federated interoperability protocols that enforce data residency while enabling cross-entity agent collaboration - Developer-facing abstractions — APIs, SDKs, and workflow primitives that allow both internal and external teams to deploy agents on the platform ## Who You Are - 2+ years building production software. You've shipped real systems — not just side projects, not demos. You've debugged something at 2am and know what it means to own what you build. Yes, Claude Code does a lot of the work, but you deeply understanding how to get compounding leverage from it and other tools every day. - You're excited by distributed agent systems — state machines, message guarantees, fault tolerance, consensus. You may not have designed these from scratch yet, but you've thought hard about them and want to. - You're drawn to pushing the envelope of Applied AI. You want to put the latest models into production — not just play with them. You understand that the gap between a demo and a deployed system is where the real engineering lives. - You operate with extreme ownership. You don't wait for specs. You identify the highest-leverage problem and solve it. You'd rather ask forgiveness than wait for permission. - You're drawn to a sense of mission and purpose. You want your work to matter — not in the abstract, but in a way you can point to. ## Compensation Top-of-market cash compensation plus significant founding-team equity. We pay for the best because we hire the best. New York City. In-office. ## About Armory ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Armory is an applied AI lab building multi-modal orchestration systems to serve as the execution layer for U.S. healthcare, automating non-clinical tasks and enabling seamless interoperability between entities. - **Entity Type**: Private (early-stage startup, no disclosed funding round) - **Headquarters**: Brooklyn, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Harshil Mattoo (Founder & CEO), Arthur Kam (Chief Architect) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Healthcare technology, Applied Artificial Intelligence, Software Development - **Target customers**: U.S. healthcare organizations – hospitals, clinical systems, and other entities that need to streamline administrative and operational workflows; the “clinical frontline.” - **Mission or purpose statement**: “Armory exists to arm the clinical frontline. We are building the execution layer for American healthcare: infrastructure that absorbs the entirety of work that stands between patients and care. The future of healthcare is not asking clinicians to do more. It is ensuring they only do what matters.” [armorymedical.com/mission](https://www.armorymedical.com/mission) ## Products & Services - **Agent Runtime**: Execution engine with task scheduling, state management, exception handling, and human-escalation pathways for autonomous agents. [us.trabajo.org](https://us.trabajo.org/job-982-082611465f33b346b35c29c20941e7ec) - **Multi-Agent Orchestration Platform**: Coordinates complex, multi-agent systems that can process clinical documents, voice interactions, and multimodal healthcare data through tool use and real-time decision pipelines. [us.trabajo.org](https://us.trabajo.org/job-982-082611465f33b346b35c29c20941e7ec) - **Federated Interoperability Protocol**: Enforces data residency while enabling cross-entity agent collaboration across different healthcare organizations. [us.trabajo.org](https://us.trabajo.org/job-982-082611465f33b346b35c29c20941e7ec) - **Developer APIs / SDKs**: Abstractions that allow internal and external teams to deploy agents on the platform. [us.trabajo.org](https://us.trabajo.org/job-982-082611465f33b346b35c29c20941e7ec) All offerings are software/SaaS focused on autonomous agent orchestration. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private, early stage) - **Key Metric**: Total funding not publicly available; headcount is 6 employees (as of mid-2025) with +133.3% YoY growth. [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/armorymedical) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: No formal investment round announced. Talent sources on LinkedIn include Andreessen Horowitz, Palantir Technologies, Instabase, and Cove Hill Partners – indicating strong network connections but not necessarily direct investors. [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/armorymedical) - **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew from ~2 to 6 in one year (+133%); LinkedIn follower growth of +468.4% year-over-year; actively hiring for software engineering roles with significant equity offers. [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/armorymedical) ## Competitive Advantages - **Mission-critical focus**: Building infrastructure for the U.S. healthcare system – a high‑barrier, high‑stakes vertical with deep regulatory and data‑residency requirements. - **Founding team pedigree**: Founders have direct experience delivering mission-critical AI to the Department of Health & Human Services, National Institutes of Health, and other federal institutions via Palantir. [armorymedical.com](https://www.armorymedical.com/) - **Flat, high-ownership culture**: Extremely flat structure where engineers own entire subsystems from day one – not a “feature-team” environment. [us.trabajo.org](https://us.trabajo.org/job-982-082611465f33b346b35c29c20941e7ec) - **Multi-modal, agentic architecture**: Combining LLMs, voice, document processing, and interoperability – a full‑stack approach that competitors often address piecemeal. ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities and direction for growth**: - Deploying a production-grade “agentic mesh network” that can autonomously handle non-clinical administrative tasks across healthcare entities. - Building out the core agent runtime and orchestration layer to be both developer‑friendly and HIPAA‑/data‑residency compliant. - Scaling the engineering team rapidly (current active hiring for Software Engineers) while maintaining a tight, in‑office culture in New York City. [jobs.ashbyhq.com](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/armory) ## Why Work Here - **Culture highlights**: “Rebel” mindset – the company describes itself as “rebels that want to re‑invent how healthcare is delivered.” Operates with extreme flatness; engineers are expected to identify the highest‑leverage problem and solve it without waiting for specs. - **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: Fully in‑office in New York City (Manhattan/Brooklyn). The job posting explicitly states “New York City. In‑office.” – no remote or hybrid option. [us.trabajo.org](https://us.trabajo.org/job-982-082611465f33b346b35c29c20941e7ec) - **Notable perks or engineering culture**: - Top‑of‑market cash compensation plus “significant founding‑team equity.” - Ownership of real subsystems (agent runtime, orchestration, APIs) with autonomy and accountability. - Opportunity to push the envelope of applied AI in one of the most critical sectors in the country. - Small, elite team (6 people) with backgrounds from Palantir, Instabase, and other top-tier firms. ## Sources 1.
