Skydio | Redwood City, California | Full-Time | Onsite Preferred, Remote Considered | Skydio 2 Launch Video: https://youtu.be/imt2qZ7uw1s.

Open Roles: iOS, Android, Cross-Platform

To Apply: Send your resume to hiring@skydio.com

Description: Forget complex joysticks and awkward tilt-controls: we are crafting completely novel interactions that leverage Skydio’s onboard intelligence to empower a much broader, more diverse audience of drone users - from action enthusiasts to insurance claims adjusters and first responders.

Requirements: (1) You’ve developed an app that’s shipped to Google Play or Apple App store (2) High proficiency with Swift or Java (2.1) Bonus points for Python (2.2) Double bonus points for C++.

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.

About Skydio: Skydio was founded in 2014. Prior to that, our founders met at MIT where they pioneered breakthrough autonomous flight research as grad students. They also co-founded Google’s Project Wing. We have exceptionally strong engineering teams spanning many disciplines, and seasoned product leadership from Tesla and Apple. To-date we’ve raised over $120 million from many of the top VCs in Silicon Valley.




Quick clarification regarding working onsite vs. remote:

Onsite in Redwood City is strongly preferred. For senior candidates, we're open to partial-remote for folks based out of Boston.

Apologies for any confusion.


web: $130k-$150k salary Deep Learning Computer Vision: $130k-$170k(PhD).

kinda funny they are claiming to pay the web people nearly the same salary as the PhD level ML people.
