Job description

San Mateo, California, United States - Full-time

About the team

Skydio’s Cloud infrastructure team is here to ensure that the Skydio Cloud platform is always available to our customers when they need it: whether that’s performing a routine bridge inspection or aiding in rescue operations during a natural disaster. With thousands of drones operating all over the world, we are constantly improving the continuous delivery and deployment of our infrastructure.

About the role

As an Infrastructure Engineer on our product, you’ll not just be responsible for supporting our Kubernetes fleet, but also making software changes to the core product in order to support the use cases that we need. This is a hybrid software and infrastructure role, meaning that sometimes the best solution is to fix the product, not automate around the deficiencies. This is a role for someone that enjoys having the freedom to operate across the whole stack, and the ability to affect the architecture, security, and functionality of the product.

How you'll make an impact

• Re-architect and maintain the ever‑growing needs on our Kubernetes fleet and its supporting infrastructure.
• Continually improve and expand the continuous delivery of the product.
• Work in cross‑functional teams (from hardware to cloud) to build new capabilities for the platform.
• Work directly with security to continually improve the practices and controls that will keep our customer’s data and drones safe.
• Drive cost‑saving initiatives early into Skydio’s product, so that it scales over time.

What makes you a good fit

• 2+ years of experience as a platform engineer, DevOps or equivalent infrastructure role.
• Can comfortably debug and automate Kubernetes clusters.
• Not hesitant to jump into the code to fix the underlying issue (Python or Go preferred).
• Understand cloud platforms architecture, especially networking, security, storage, and resilient application topologies.
• Ability and interest in being delegated business objectives and seeking out the solutions.
• Familiarity with supporting both SaaS and self-hosted applications.
• Experience with supporting drones or highly automated physical hardware.

Compensation

At Skydio, our compensation packages for regular, full‑time employees include competitive base salaries, equity in the form of stock options, and comprehensive benefits packages. Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience. Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles. The annual base salary range for this position is $140,000 - $210,000.* *For some positions the pay may be dependent upon the individual's regional location.

At Skydio we believe that diversity drives innovation. We have created a multidisciplinary environment that embraces the power of diverse perspectives to create elegant solutions for complex problems. We are committed to growing our network of people, programs, and resources to nurture an inclusive culture.
