Hiring: Software Engineer - Cloud Simulation & Full-Stack Company: Skydio Location: San Mateo, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-15 12:16:43 Employment Type: Full-time Target Skills & Keywords : AI, AWS, C++, Design System, GraphQL, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Python, React, Rust, TypeScript, User Experience About the job Experience: •Frontend experience with 3D or visualization technologies such as Three.js or WebGL. •Operational familiarity with workflow orchestration systems such as Temporal. •Background or interest in simulation, robotics, or real-time systems. Required Skills: •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. •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. •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. Qualifications: •Strong professional experience building backend and distributed systems in production environments. •Proficiency in Python and C++ (required), with the ability to integrate cloud services with performance-sensitive native systems. •Proficiency in modern frontend development using TypeScript and React. •Comfort working across system boundaries — from cloud services and APIs down to simulator-facing interfaces. •Strong product sense and ability to design systems that are both technically sound and intuitive for customers. •Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across multiple teams and disciplines. •Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions. Compensation: •$170,000 - $240,000 / year •Competitive benefits and rewards package Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
