Senior Software Engineer - Streaming Infrastructure at Skydio · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer on the Streaming team, you will build and operate the cloud infrastructure behind Skydio’s real-time streaming platform. You will work across Kubernetes, networking, deployment systems, and production services to improve reliability, performance, security, and efficiency.
This is a hybrid software and infrastructure role with the freedom to work across the stack, including making changes to application code to address underlying problems. You will own infrastructure projects from design through deployment and ongoing operation, collaborating with partner teams to help our streaming platform scale with customer demand. Our backend services are primarily written in Go, with some Python and C++.
How you will make an impact
Build and improve Kubernetes infrastructure for real-time services, contributing to capacity planning and improving compute and bandwidth efficiency as concurrent streaming demand grows.
Improve deployment, scaling, and recovery workflows to minimize disruption to active streams.
Build observability and help define service-level objectives for stream availability, connection success, and latency; investigate failures across application code, Linux networking, and cloud infrastructure to prevent recurrence.
Partner with device, networking, and product engineers to diagnose failures across the device-to-cloud path and enable new real-time capabilities.
Work with security engineers to strengthen the practices and controls that protect customer data, drones, and streaming services.
What makes you a good fit
5+ years in SRE, platform engineering, DevOps, or an equivalent infrastructure role, with demonstrated ability to independently deliver projects from design through production and collaborate effectively across teams.
Strong experience operating and automating production Kubernetes clusters, with familiarity with AWS and continuous deployment systems, including safe rollout and rollback strategies.
Experience operating distributed systems with long-lived connections, latency-sensitive traffic, or demanding availability requirements, and comfort fixing underlying issues in application code; Go preferred.
