What We Do

FlytBase is an AI-native company building the Physical AI layer for the sky. Its platform powers fully autonomous drone-in-a-box operations across energy, utilities, security, and infrastructure sites worldwide—integrating drones, docks, edge AI, and enterprise workflows into one intelligent system. Headquartered in California with a fast-moving engineering base in Pune, FlytBase is redefining how the physical world is monitored and managed. The company operates at AI speed, with autonomy and intelligence at its core. At FlytBase, teams work in a high-agency, high-velocity environment where AI isn’t a side project—it’s the operating system for how they think, build, and grow. With 300+ global deployments and 50+ partners in our ecosystem, FlytBase is powering the shift from human-operated to self-driven skies. Our platform transforms off-the-shelf drones into intelligent systems that sync effortlessly with enterprise infrastructure.

The Role

We’re not looking for “junior devs” who wait for tasks. We want AI-native engineers who can ship meaningfully, move fast, and solve real problems across the stack. This role is about building production-grade systems—backend services, cloud architecture, frontend dashboards, automation pipelines—using AI copilots and modern dev stacks to unlock 10× velocity. You won’t be training ML models. You will be coding with AI, debugging with AI, architecting with AI, and shipping software that powers live autonomous missions globally. If you crave ownership, speed, and building tech that actually runs in the real world, this is your playground.

What You'll Own

• Backend & API Development (1-3 YOE) → Build, scale, and maintain microservices and APIs powering real-time drone ops.
• AI-Native Development → Use Claude Code/Codex and every AI Coding tool to write cleaner code, debug faster, and accelerate delivery.
• Systems Thinking → Work across backend, cloud, integrations, and distributed systems—no rigid silos.
• High-Velocity Execution → Prototype fast, iterate with feedback, and ship production-ready features.
• Cloud & Infra → Own services deployed on AWS/GCP/Kubernetes that support global autonomous deployments.
• Cross-Team Engineering → Collaborate with robotics, AI, and product teams to build features end-to‑end.

Best Suited For

• AI-First Engineer → Someone who codes with AI tools by default, not occasionally.
• Strong Backend Fundamentals → DS/Algo basics, concurrency, API design, scalable services.
• Full-Stack Mindset → Backend-heavy but not allergic to touching UI, dashboards, or integrations.
• Outcome-Driven Builder → You care about shipping value, not writing 500 lines of “perfect” code.
• Rapid Learner → You pick up tools, stacks, and workflows fast without hand‑holding.

Our Stack (Flexible)

• Backend → Python, Node.js, Go, Rust
• Frontend → React, Vue, Angular
• Cloud & Infra → AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD
• Workflows → Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Hermes, Agentic Coding, automation pipelines, testing frameworks

What Makes You a Flyter

• You use AI tools as your co-engineer
• You move fast without breaking reliability
• You jump stacks instead of staying in your lane
• You thrive in messy, ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces
• You want your code running on fleets of autonomous robots
• You bias toward action and clarity, not waiting for perfection

What We Don't Want

• Devs who avoid understanding product or user context
• Anyone who says “that’s not my stack” or “not my job”
• Engineers who ship slowly and blame “dependencies”
• People who need micro-managed clarity handed to them
• Hours-loggers > impact-makers
• Passive coders who rely only on tutorials, not thinking

Why FlytBase?

• You won’t just write code—you’ll build frontier tech in AI × robotics
• Your work will run in mission-critical, global deployments
• You’ll work with high-agency engineers shipping at startup velocity
• Unlimited access to AI tooling and automation workflows
• Freedom to experiment, prototype, and build bold ideas

The Perks

• Extremely AI-native dev environment with top-tier tools
• High-agency culture with real ownership
• Flexible hours and Unlimited Paid Time Off
• Unlimited tokens and AI tools
