Job summary

Swarm Aero is redefining air power by building the largest drone swarm and Legion, the Command & Control platform. You’ll join to architect the full stack, define core patterns, and enable real-time operations across thousands of heterogeneous aircraft.

You’ll own features end to end, work with operators and engineers across software, autonomy, and aircraft systems, and ship rapidly with CI/CD, QA, and DevSecOps practices.

Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
• 4+ years building complex full stack applications with real frontend and backend depth.
• Strong UI/UX instincts and the tools to back them up.
• Built production web interfaces with React or a comparable modern framework.

Responsibilities

• Architect and build the full stack of a Command & Control system directing large swarms of heterogeneous aircraft
• Design foundational systems, technical patterns, and interfaces that will shape Legion as it scales
• Build collaborative, real-time infrastructure that allows operators to control large numbers of aircraft simultaneously, including through degraded or intermittent communications
• Create new ways to represent and interact with vehicle telemetry, sensor data, mission schedules, crew resources, data links, and other complex operational information
• Take ambiguous operational problems from first principles to deployed capability, often without an existing playbook to follow
• Own major features end to end, from system design and technical architecture through implementation, testing, and deployment
• Work closely with operators, designers, and engineers across software, autonomy, and aircraft systems
• Ship early and iterate quickly, supported by strong CI/CD, QA, and DevSecOps practices
