About 9 Mothers

The modern battlefield has changed. Cheap, autonomous suicide drones have turned the tactical advantage upside down, and the world is looking for a solution. At 9 Mothers, we aren't just "innovating." We are building the shield.

Backed by top-tier investors, we develop AI-powered machines designed to intercept and neutralize Group 1/sUAS threats in real time. Our flagship product, Edda, is a low-cost, autonomous-capable point defense turret that detects and engages high-speed FPV drones at close range.

Why 9 Mothers?

While others build for "awareness" or "long-term research," we build for the immediate survival of those in harm's way. We are a team of hackers, engineers, and mission-driven builders who value field-ready capability over polished slide decks.

Position Summary

We are seeking a Chief of Staff to serve as the right hand to our CEO, ensuring executive focus, operational discipline, and cross-functional alignment as we scale rapidly. This is not an administrative role, it is a high-level operational leadership position for an assertive, strategic operator who can step in, offload executive burdens, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

While our engineering team is deep in technical execution, you will maintain the high-level, big-picture perspective across the entire company. You will manage executive communications, offload complex operational tasks (such as deciphering priorities and daily requirements, and aligning resources both internally and externally), and act as a critical buffer and diplomat in external partner and client interactions. If you excel at turning executive intent into seamless team execution and keeping strategic partnerships on track, this role is built for you.
