About Hextronics
Hex is building the infrastructure for on-demand aerial data. We design and manufacture drone-in-a-box systems that automate repetitive drone operations, taking humans out of the loop so the people who depend on aerial data can move faster. We're a small, agile team, we move fast, take on extreme ownership, and build products in months, not years.
The Role
We’re looking for a junior or mid-level full stack engineer to help build and maintain the software powering our drone operations platform. You’ll work across the stack — from database design to React interfaces — contributing to systems that control real hardware in the real world.
Responsibilities
Build and maintain full stack features across our web applications using Python and React
Design and manage relational database schemas, queries, and migrations
Collaborate with hardware and robotics teams to surface drone control to real-time web interfaces
Write clean, tested, and well-documented code
Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices
Debug issues across the full stack in a fast-moving environment
Work well with Artificial Intelligence to maximize functional output
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
1–5 years of professional software development experience
Proficiency in Python for backend development
Experience building UIs with React
Working knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar)
Strong fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, REST APIs
Nice to Have
Exposure to drone systems, UAV platforms, robotics, or aerospace software
Familiarity with MAVLink or other drone communication protocols
Experience with real-time data systems or WebSockets
Background in embedded systems or hardware-adjacent software
What We Offer
Competitive salary and equity
Health, dental, and vision coverage
The chance to work on software that controls physical systems in the field
A small, technical team where your work ships and matters
