Job description
Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America’s drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment.
Job responsibilities
- Lead and grow the team across application and backend development — hiring, mentorship, and performance management
- Own application development end to end using modern cross-platform stacks spanning Windows, Linux, macOS, and web
- Own the backend behind them — services and APIs, data pipelines into our analytics datalake, identity and tenancy, and software update
- Build for offline: our tools run with or without a connection to the backend, and offline is a normal operating state rather than a failure to handle
- Make the hard architecture calls — front-end architecture, build vs. adopt, data model, tenancy and security, local vs. backend state
- Set and uphold engineering and operational quality — code review, testing, CI/CD, observability, on-call
- Stay hands-on: review code and own architecture, not just process
