Our software flies drones in combat - not in demos, not in simulations, but in the field, every day.
AITAN builds the operating system for multi-drone warfare: one platform that lets a single operator command an entire fleet in real time.
We're looking for a Backend Engineer to help turn advanced drones, sensors, payloads, and third-party technologies into reliable, field-ready capabilities that operators can trust.
What you’ll do
- Integrate drones, sensors and other hardware into the AITAN platform
- Write production-quality code in Java, C++, Python and related systems
- Work directly with vendors, pilots, hardware engineers, and product teams
- Debug across software, networking, devices, APIs, field behavior, and operator workflows
- Test in simulation, lab and field environments
- Own integrations end to end, from first connection to deployed capability
- 5+ years of software development experience, with strong skills in Java, C++, Python or similar languages
- Strong hands-on software engineering experience with complex systems, integrations, networking, devices, APIs, or distributed systems
- Experience with Linux, networking, APIs, serial protocols, devices or distributed systems
- Comfort working close to hardware, even if you are not a hardware engineer
Strong fit if
- You have experience with drones, robotics, embedded systems, autonomy, defense or field-tested systems
- Familiarity with real-time systems, control loops or embedded platforms
- You've worked with embedded platforms such as STM32, ESP32, Jetson or similar
- You've led technical work or owned complex integrations end to end
Skills Required
- 3+ years of software development experience
- Strong skills in Java, C++, Python, or similar programming languages
- Hands-on software engineering experience with complex systems, integrations, networking, devices, APIs, or distributed systems
- Experience with Linux, networking, APIs, serial protocols, devices, or distributed systems
- Comfort working close to hardware
- Experience with drones, robotics, embedded systems, autonomy, defense, or field-tested systems
- Familiarity with real-time systems, control loops, or embedded platforms
- Experience with embedded platforms such as STM32, ESP32, Jetson, or similar
- Experience leading technical work or owning complex integrations end to end
What We Do
eyesAtop is an AI-native robotics orchestration company developing an operating platform for multi-drone forces. Its technology augments commercial and military drone fleets with mission intelligence, edge AI computing, autonomous coordination, and drone-agnostic control. The platform supports defense applications including real-time intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, precision strike, persistent border monitoring, and forward logistics, helping operators coordinate sensors and unmanned systems across contested environments.
