Location Tel Aviv, Israel --- Flytrex runs drone food delivery at scale in US cities. The GCS (Ground Control Station) team builds the brain of the operation: the system that takes an order, plans a flight, coordinates airspace, and safely delivers a package to a backyard, thousands of times a week. We're scaling from a handful of sites to a national network, and the systems need to scale with us. **About the role** - Build and own features end-to-end across a distributed, event-driven backend: design, code, tests, rollout, and production follow-up. - Work on real problems: mission state machines, route planning, airspace deconfliction, fleet operations, and the tooling our operators use every day. - Dig into production. When something breaks mid-flight, you'll be part of the team that finds out why and makes sure it never happens again. - Ship fast, with a strong safety bar. We move quickly, and we don't cut corners on things that fly. **Why here** Ownership without bureaucracy. A small, strong team with a mission you can point at in the sky. If you want to shape how autonomous delivery gets built, rather than maintain someone else's decisions, this is the role. #### Requirements - Around 1–3 years of hands-on backend experience, or a strong graduate with serious side projects. - Solid CS fundamentals. You can reason about concurrency, state, and failure modes, not just APIs. - You write tests because you want to know your code works, not because someone told you to. - Curious, direct, and comfortable with ambiguity. You ask questions, push back when something doesn't make sense, and take ownership without waiting to be assigned. - Bonus: background in robotics, aviation, simulation, or anything that moves in the physical world. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@id":"https://www.dronejobs.app/#website","@type":"WebSite","inLanguage":"en","name":"DroneJobs","url":"https://www.dronejobs.app","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.dronejobs.app/#identity"}},{"@id":"https://www.dronejobs.app/jobs/flytrex-software-engineer-gcs-team#webpage","@type":"WebPage","description":"Tel Aviv, Israel · On-site — Flytrex runs drone food delivery at scale in US cities.
