About the role

As drones transform the character of warfare, Neros is delivering the systems the West needs to compete on the modern battlefield and deter the adversaries of democracy.
We're hiring engineers, operators, and builders who want to move fast, take on extreme ownership, and get capability into the hands of warfighters in months, not years.
Actual salary may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations.

Lead and grow the Ground Software engineering team, including hiring, mentorship, and performance management
Own the architecture and delivery of the Ground Control Station (GCS) and operator-facing software across desktop and field/ruggedized platforms
Own the low-latency video/sensor display pipeline and the operator UX that must stay clear and usable under field stress
Own multi-vehicle / swarm operator workflows and integration with external C2 and tools (e.g. ATAK)
Own the team's test strategy and unit/integration testing, partnering with the Test organization on shared infrastructure
Strong background building user-facing or operator-facing software for demanding, real-world use - mission-critical, field-deployed, real-time, or otherwise high-stakes environments
Track record of shipping reliable software on hard deadlines, where the work depended on physical hardware or had to perform in the field
We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale.
Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment.
Neros is building the software that operators use to fly and command our drones in the field.

Experience with Ground Control Station / UAS operator software (e.g. ATAK/TAK, QGroundControl, Mission Planner, or comparable)
Low-latency video pipeline experience (RTSP/WebRTC/GStreamer or similar)
Geospatial / mapping experience (offline maps, tactical overlays, terrain)
Multi-vehicle / swarm operator UX experience
Experience integrating with external C2 / military command systems
We're an equal opportunity employer.

Drive predictable, safe software releases for operator-facing systems and steward the long-term health of the codebase
