Job description

Our software flies drones in combat - not in demos, not in simulations, but in the field, every day.

eyesAtop builds the operating system for multi‑drone warfare: one platform that lets a single operator command an entire fleet in real time.

What You’ll Do

• Integrate robotic platforms, payloads, sensors and external software into the eyesAtop platform
• Write production‑quality code in Java, C++, Python and related systems
• Work directly with vendors, pilots, hardware engineers, and product teams
• Debug across software, networking, devices, APIs, field behavior, and operator workflows
• Test in simulation, lab and field environments
• Own integrations end to end, from first connection to deployed capability

Requirements

• Solid hands‑on experience with robotics, autonomous systems, drones, embedded systems or similar real‑world platforms
• 3+ years of software development experience, with strong skills in Java, C++, Python or similar languages
• Experience with Linux, networking, APIs, serial protocols, devices or distributed systems
• Familiarity with real‑time systems, control loops or embedded platforms
• Comfort working close to hardware, even if you are not a hardware engineer

Strong fit if

• You have experience with drones, robotics, embedded systems, autonomy, defense or field‑tested systems
• You’ve worked with embedded platforms such as STM32, ESP32, Jetson or similar
• You’ve led technical work or owned complex integrations end to end
