Bonus Experience: * Experience with Go for backend or platform services. * Experience with Rust (strong plus), especially for systems, performance-sensitive, or infrastructure work. * Frontend experience with 3D or visualization technologies such as Three.js or WebGL. * Familiarity with workflow orchestration systems such as Temporal. * Experience productizing complex technical systems for external users. * Background or interest in simulation, robotics, or real-time systems. ## Description 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. Areas of Responsibility: * Cloud-Backed Simulation Services: Build backend systems that orchestrate simulator execution, configuration, and lifecycle management in cloud environments. * Customer Personalization and Configuration: Enable customers to tailor simulation environments, scenarios, vehicles, and behaviors through robust APIs and services. * Simulator Integration: Design clean, reliable interfaces between cloud services and the core simulator runtime, including control, data exchange, and monitoring. * Full-Stack Experiences: Develop backend and frontend components that expose simulator capabilities through web interfaces and customer-facing tools. * Scalability and Reliability: Ensure simulation services are secure, observable, and scalable to support production customer workloads. What You'll Do: * Design and build cloud-native services that orchestrate, configure, and interact with the Skydio Simulator at scale. * Develop robust backend systems that interface directly with the simulator runtime, enabling control, configuration, data exchange, and monitoring. * Build customer-facing workflows and APIs that allow users to personalize simulation environments, scenarios, vehicles, and behaviors. * Implement full-stack features, collaborating across backend services and frontend applications to deliver intuitive, reliable simulation experiences. * Partner closely with simulator, autonomy, and product teams to translate complex simulator capabilities into usable, production-ready customer features. * Architect systems with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, observability, and security, supporting multi-tenant, production workloads. * Contribute to technical direction and architectural decisions around how simulation is delivered as a cloud product. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Rendering Design Software in the Browser at Penpot](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1353-rendering-design-software-in-the-browser-at-penpot) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
