Software Engineer - Cloud Simulation & Full-Stack - Skydio - Remote - Global

Skydio is the leading US drone company and the world leader in autonomous flight, the key technology for the future of drones and aerial mobility. The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios, and beyond. About the Role: We are looking for a software engineer to build the cloud-native and full-stack systems that power customer-facing simulation at Skydio. In this role, you will design and implement the services, APIs, and interfaces that allow customers to configure, personalize, and interact with the Skydio Simulator at scale. This is not a pure cloud role: you will work closely with the simulator itself, interfacing directly with C++ and Python systems that run real-time simulation and autonomy software. You’ll help bridge the gap between a complex robotics simulator and intuitive, flexible user experiences delivered through the cloud. Responsibilities include building backend systems for simulator orchestration, enabling customer customization through APIs, designing interfaces between cloud services and simulator runtime, developing full-stack features for web interfaces, and ensuring scalability, security, and reliability of simulation services. Qualifications include professional experience with backend and distributed systems, proficiency in Python and C++, frontend skills with TypeScript and React, API design experience, and familiarity with AWS, Kubernetes, and PostgreSQL. Bonus skills include Go, Rust, 3D visualization, and workflow orchestration systems. Skydio values diversity and promotes an inclusive culture.
