$600k to $900kbase pay

We build autonomous aircraft for places where GPS is dead. The team is small and the stack is wide, so we hire people who can fly, build, and ship across all of it.

Requirements

  • Required

    Experience flying drones, with a feel for the mechanics of how they fly.

  • Bonus

    Experience building drones. FPV pilots are highly sought after, because they know hardware limits and how to push them.

  • Required

    You ship software to production across web apps, APIs, and mobile applications.

  • Bonus

    Experience with real-time video or telemetry pipelines, mesh networking, embedded or edge code, or GCS/MAVLink tooling.

  • Required

    You ship in whatever language the system demands.

  • Required

    You understand that we build products that kill bad people.
