The role
Skydio is the leading US drone company and the world leader in autonomous flight, the key technology for the future of drones and aerial mobility. The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors https://www.skydio.com/solutions/energy-and-utilities to first responders https://www.skydio.com/solutions/public-safety, soldiers in battlefield scenarios https://www.skydio.com/solutions/national-security/tactical-isr, and beyond https://www.skydio.com/solutions. ABOUT THE ROLE: We are looking for a software engineer to build the cloud-native and full-stack systems that power customer-facing simulation at Skydio. In this role, you will design and implement the services, APIs, and interfaces that allow customers to configure, personalize, and interact with the Skydio Simulator at scale. This is not a pure cloud role: you will work closely with the simulator itself, interfacing directly with C++ and Python systems that run real-time simulation and autonomy software. You’ll help bridge the gap between a complex robotics simulator and intuitive, flexible user experiences delivered through the cloud. AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY: - Cloud-Backed Simulation Services: Build backend systems that orchestrate simulator execution, configuration, and lifecycle management in cloud environments. - Customer Personalization and Configuration: Enable customers to tailor simulation environments, scenarios, vehicles, and behaviors through robust APIs and services. - Simulator Integration: Design clean, reliable interfaces between cloud services and the core simulator runtime, including control, data exchange, and monitoring. - Full-Stack Experiences: Develop backend and frontend components that expose simulator capabilities through web interfaces and customer-facing tools. - Scalability and Re
