Flytrex is at the forefront of autonomous drone-delivery for restaurants in suburban America. We are one of a few companies that are FAA approved to fly over residential neighborhoods (together with Amazon, Google/Wing…) but are the only one exclusively focused on restaurants. Uber is an investor in Flytrex and we also fly deliveries for Doordash. After thousands of successful commercial deliveries and multiple breakthrough FAA approvals, Flytrex is now expanding the service rapidly across the U.S.
We are looking for a Senior Developer to join our ground-control team, to lead efforts around our remote-pilot control flows, drone on-line navigation, flight path planning, etc. The position is meant for individuals who can handle complex algorithms, are familiar with distributed systems design and development, and are eager to work in a fast-paced environment to make a real impact.
This is a unique opportunity to develop the world’s leading drone delivery service and be a part of a revolution in the making.
Requirements- Strong understanding of system design principles and experience handling complex algorithms and logic.
- 4+ years of software development experience. Experience in software design.
- Adaptivity to new technologies and coding languages.

What We Do
In a nutshell, Flytrex is building the world's first drone based delivery service - cutting delivery costs and times by an order of magnitude in an (almost) infinite market. Flytrex Aviation Ltd was established in Israel in late 2013. In August 2017 Flytrex launched the world’s first fully operational, regulatory approved, on-demand drone delivery service in Reykjavik, Iceland, and became the leading competitor in the race to deploy a true on-demand delivery service via autonomous vehicles. The Flytrex system was approved by ICETRA (Iceland’s Civil Aviation Authority) and insured, and set precedent after being granted approval to operate BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) and above populated regions, in a first world country. Flytrex was also selected to participate in the FAA’S Drone Pilot Program, partnering with North Carolina’s Department of Transportation and taking on the challenge to establish the first drone based delivery service in the United States. While the majority of packages that require transit across cities are no heavier than 2lbs, Flytrex drones are able to carry up to 6.5lbs and travel a distance of approximately 6 aerial miles. The drones require minimal handling thus reducing manpower, and ensuring a quick delivery every single time.
