## About the Role

* 8+ years of engineering experience and 5+ years leading engineers, including senior and staff-level ICs
 * Complex, multi-quarter technical programs finished predictably, with clear success metrics
 * A record of making strong teams stronger. You can point to the engineers who grew and the output that followed
 * Hands-on technical depth across web, backend, and cloud systems. You still read and write code, and you're comfortable enough with the underlying math and data to question the results
 * AI as a primary working partner across coding, prototyping, and analysis, and evidence that you changed how a team works because of it
 * A record of ramping quickly into complex, unfamiliar technical domains
 * Customer focus that shows up in product and UX decisions

Nice to Have

 * Experience with geospatial, mapping, 3D, imagery, or other data-intensive systems at scale
 * Experience in survey, construction, energy, or other industries where being wrong has real consequences for the customer
 * Drone/UAV experience or a Part 107 certificate

## Description

* Stay hands-on. PRs, prototypes, and debugging alongside the team. Set technical direction with the team's principal engineer, from architecture and boundaries to platform investment.
 * Own quality and reliability through metrics and observability, so problems surface before customers find them.
 * Represent Aerial to leadership and customers, including site visits.
