Senior Software Engineer, Mobile (USA)

Work Environment:

• Work Model: 100% remote (US-based). We are a remote-first team that stays synced via Slack, Zoom, and shared documentation.

• Time Zone: 5 hours of overlap with 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM PT.

• We offer flexibility for personal commitments while prioritizing responsiveness and reliable delivery.
• Travel: Minimal (1–2 trips per year) for team offsites, industry conferences (like WWDC), or optional company events.

Responsibilities:

• Build resilient Swift client-side logic offline-first software that performs under real-world constraints, including low-connectivity environments, memory-intensive 3D data, and intermittent hardware signals.

• Implement features end-to-end from client through to backend API extensions and data persistence.

• Collaborate with product and design to help translate customer frustrations into elegant technical solutions.

• Write the code that talks to 360-degree cameras and high-accuracy GPS. You’ll handle the "messy" reality of hardware integration.

• Use ARKit and AI to prototype new ways to see the world. We value the "failed" experiment that teaches us something new.
• Elevate team output through reviews and hackathons, leveraging empathetic feedback and new AI-assisted tools to help your peers ship better code, faster.
• Participate in onsite visits occasionally to experience field workflows directly.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience delivering iOS applications, including meaningful contributions to a production app with a significant user base (e.g., 1k+ MAU) or high architectural complexity.

• Experience with or a demonstrated eagerness to learn our backend stack (Python, Tornado, MongoDB) to trace data from device to database.

• Proficiency with Xcode Instruments and telemetry (Sentry/Crashlytics) to troubleshoot crashes, memory leaks, and hardware connectivity issues.

• Proactive use of AI-assisted tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot, LLMs) to automate boilerplate, accelerate unit testing, and solve problems faster.

• Experience explaining complex technical trade-offs to non-technical teammates to drive project alignment.

Why Join DroneDeploy?

• We use AI-assisted tools to remove the "grind," allowing you to focus on high-level architecture and 3D capture challenges.

• Solve problems involving 3D datasets and hardware communication that go far beyond standard CRUD-style apps.

• An engineering culture built for async work, psychological safety, and planning before coding.

• See your code used by customers in construction and energy to capture sites more safely and accurately.
• Modern Stack: Swift, Python, MongoDB, Kubernetes, and ARKit.
