• Develop scalable backend services and APIs for mission guidance, orchestration, and agent communication.
• Maintain high‑quality standards through CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, code reviews, observability, and disciplined releases.
• Write production‑grade C++ and Python code that runs in real‑time, resource‑constrained settings.
• Analyze logs and telemetry from tests and live missions to identify failure modes and drive systematic fixes.

Required profile

• Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Computer Science, Robotics, Aerospace Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong communication skills, rigor, ownership, and a commitment to operational excellence.

Required skills

• Proficient programming in C++.
