Job description

The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.

Most full stack roles ask you to move pixels around a dashboard. This one asks you to help architect the system that controls the largest drone swarm on the planet.

You’ll join the team building Legion, Swarm Aero’s Command & Control platform. Legion enables a single operator to plan, direct, and execute missions across a networked swarm of heterogeneous aircraft in real time, over intermittent communications, and at a scale nobody else in…

Job responsibilities

  • Help architect and build the full stack of a Command & Control system directing large swarms of heterogeneous aircraft
  • Design the 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
