About the job
Skydio, a premier drone manufacturer based in the United States, stands at the forefront of autonomous flight technology, paving the way for the future of drones and aerial mobility. Our diverse team merges profound expertise in artificial intelligence with top-tier hardware and software development, operational excellence, and a relentless focus on customer satisfaction. We empower a wide array of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders and military personnel, to leverage our cutting-edge technology in various scenarios.
About the Team: The Skydio Cloud Infrastructure team is dedicated to ensuring the Skydio Cloud platform is consistently available to our users at critical moments, whether conducting routine inspections or supporting rescue missions during emergencies. With a global fleet of thousands of drones, we are committed to continuous improvement, emphasizing robust delivery and testing pipelines as vital components of our operations.
About the Role: As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer focused on an innovative product, you will play a pivotal role in maintaining our Kubernetes fleet and enhancing the core product software to meet evolving use cases. This position blends software engineering and infrastructure management, allowing you to address product deficiencies directly rather than solely relying on automation.

Re-engineer and sustain the expanding requirements of our Kubernetes fleet and its underlying infrastructure.
Enhance and broaden the continuous delivery processes for our product.

Engage directly with security teams to refine practices and controls that safeguard our customers' data and drones.
Lead cost-saving initiatives early in the product lifecycle to ensure scalability.
