Skydio | Redwood City, California | Full-Time | Onsite (post-quarantine)
Skydio is productizing state-of-the-art robot autonomy for consumer, enterprise, and government markets at unprecedented scale. Our founders met as MIT grad students and co-founded Google X's Project Wing. We have an exceptionally strong engineering teams spanning many disciplines, and seasoned product leadership from Apple and Tesla. We recently raised a $50M+ Series C to fund our upcoming growth phase.
I see a few positions related to autonomy on your website. What kind of experience levels are you expecting? I can’t tell if those are 20+ years experience or entry-level.
We're pretty open to candidates of all experience levels, and are mainly looking for folks who bring a strong foundation with the relevant theory (math, algorithms) and software development practices, even if they're coming right out of school.

Our tech stack:
- Our iOS and Android codebases are primarily written in Swift and Java respectively, using standard UI tools provided by each platform.
- Both apps run our C++ mobile core, an extension of the Skydio Autonomy Engine, which centralizes logic for much of the pre-flight and in-flight experience.
- We use Djinni to easily define complex APIs that bridge the C++ core with the iOS and Android codebases - and our Python-based data specification system imparts simple extensibility to hardened, type-safe C++ mini-engines.
