Skydio is a drone startup in Redwood City. Thanks to our incredibly strong team (https://bit.ly/skydioteam), we're now the leading US drone company and the world leader in drone autonomy.

We recently launched a breakthrough consumer product: https://youtu.be/imt2qZ7uw1s. And we’re getting significant traction with a number of large organizations using the consumer device as a platform for more specialized applications. The future is drones-as-a-service that live in docks and are dispatched through cloud software: https://youtu.be/k8RRykNVL6E.

We’re looking for an exceptional software engineering leader (i.e. Head of Software Eng) as we scale up our team and technology to meet the opportunity ahead. If you have a proven track record building/leading high-powered startup engineering teams in one (or more) of the following areas, please send your resume to [email protected]: - OS/Firmware for shipping hardware devices - Enterprise SaaS - Video streaming, storage, delivery - 3D graphics, computer vision, geospatial/mapping - Cloud, web apps, mobile apps

We’re also looking for seasoned software engineers in all of the areas listed above, as well as electrical engineers, wireless/rf engineers, a head of people ops, and a technical recruiter.

Description: Forget complex joysticks and awkward tilt-controls: we are crafting completely novel interactions that leverage Skydio’s onboard intelligence to empower a much broader, more diverse audience of drone users - from action enthusiasts to insurance claims adjusters and first responders.

Requirements: (1) You’ve developed an app that’s shipped to Google Play or Apple App store (2) High proficiency with Swift or Java (2.1) Bonus points for Python (2.2) Double bonus points for C++.

Our tech stack: - Our iOS and Android codebases are primarily written in Swift and Java respectively, using standard UI tools provided by each platform. - Both apps run our C++ mobile core, an extension of the Skydio Autonomy Engine, which centralizes logic for much of the pre-flight and in-flight experience. - We use Djinni to easily define complex APIs that bridge the C++ core with the iOS and Android codebases - and our Python-based data specification system imparts simple extensibility to hardened, type-safe C++ mini-engines.

About Skydio: Skydio was founded in 2014. Prior to that, our founders met at MIT where they pioneered breakthrough autonomous flight research as grad students. They also co-founded Google’s Project Wing. We have exceptionally strong engineering teams spanning many disciplines, and seasoned product leadership from Tesla and Apple. To-date we’ve raised over $120 million from many of the top VCs in Silicon Valley.

Earlier this year we launched our first product: https://youtu.be/gsfkGlSajHQ And added the ability to control it from a watch: https://youtu.be/e7N0lRXcl0Y Casey Neistat review: https://youtu.be/mlJGtSg5oRw?t=88 Our COO Tom Moss helped build the mobile ecosystem: https://link.medium.com/iF7eYXwhgR We have an SDK for others to build custom experiences: https://tcrn.ch/2wMZdsB
