## Job description

Our software flies drones in combat - not in demos, not in simulations, but in the field, every day.

AITAN builds the operating system for multi-drone warfare: one platform that lets a single operator command an entire fleet in real time.

We're looking for a Backend Engineer to help turn advanced drones, sensors, payloads, and third-party technologies into reliable, field-ready capabilities that operators can trust.

### What you’ll do

- Integrate drones, sensors and other hardware into the AITAN platform

- Write production-quality code in Java, C++, Python and related systems

- Work directly with vendors, pilots, hardware engineers, and product teams

- Debug across software, networking, devices, APIs, field behavior, and operator workflows

- Test in simulation, lab and field environments

- Own integrations end to end, from first connection to deployed capability

### Requirements

- 5+ years of software development experience, with strong skills in Java, C++, Python or similar languages

- Strong hands-on software engineering experience with complex systems, integrations, networking, devices, APIs, or distributed systems

- Experience with Linux, networking, APIs, serial protocols, devices or distributed systems

- Comfort working close to hardware, even if you are not a hardware engineer

### Strong fit if

- You have experience with drones, robotics, embedded systems, autonomy, defense or field-tested systems

- Familiarity with real-time systems, control loops or embedded platforms

- You've worked with embedded platforms such as STM32, ESP32, Jetson or similar

- You've led technical work or owned complex integrations end to end

**Live in Aitan’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
