I'm Roman, co-founder of 9 Mothers. We're building AI weapon systems in Austin, TX. Our first product is designed to stop group 1 suicide drones. We started in 2025 and are still a small team of fewer than 20 people.
We're hiring for a lot of roles: software, robotics, ee, perception. I'm primarily focused on robotics, so if you have a strong background in robotics, reach out to me directly at (name)@9mothers.com.
All roles are here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/9-mothers

We're a YC company building AI-driven turrets to stop hostile drones - where robotics needs F1-level speed.
We're looking for smart, T-shaped teammates: experts in some part of robotics who are happy to jump in wherever needed.
U.S. persons only.

We're building AI-driven turrets that stop hostile drones - where robotics needs F1-level speed.
We're looking for smart, T-shaped teammates: people who are experts in one area but happy to jump in wherever needed. Our software team is small, so every member makes a real impact.
If you want to write motor control in Rust, optimize camera processing with custom CUDA kernels on Jetson, or rework a transformer-based tracker to handle small objects - you can do that here, and much more.

And in the process of playing ‘police’ they end up taking down one of the best videos explaining how Bitcoin works.
I initially aimed for an cheap monthly pricing plan and many clients, but that strategy hasn't been successful so far.
However, in the process of finding clients, I found two 'enterprise' customers. I built a custom on-premise version for them and charging $300 per month for each, which technically sums to over $500. Not sure it is what I wanted )
I always thought the idea was somewhat weak, but not enough to discard entirely. So, along with a friend, I built a prototype over the last two weeks, and now we're trying to validate it: https://scanningfox.com/
I'm enjoying using Elixir for this project. As a long-time Erlang dev, I was initially skeptical about Elixir, but Phoenix.LiveView has changed my opinion.

Only after it makes sense to take https://www.coursera.org/learn/basic-modeling and https://www.coursera.org/learn/advanced-modeling courses.
If you want a quick start read really good tutorial on official website https://www.minizinc.org/doc-2.7.2/en/part_2_tutorial.html and play with examples at online playground https://play.disopt.com/ or locally installing MiniZincIDE.
