Skydio Staff Software Engineer - Infrastructure at Skydio responsible for supporting and improving Kubernetes fleet and core product software. Role involves hybrid software and infrastructure work to ensure reliability, scalability, and availability of Skydio Cloud platform.

Responsibilities

As a Staff Infrastructure Engineer on our team, you’ll not just be responsible for supporting our Kubernetes fleet, but also making software changes to the core product in order to support the use cases that we need. This is a hybrid software and infrastructure role, meaning that sometimes the best solution is to fix the product, not automate around the deficiencies. This is a role for someone that enjoys having the freedom to operate across the whole stack, and the ability to affect the architecture, security, and functionality of the product. Our technology helps save lives. You’ll play a critical role in keeping the infrastructure behind it reliable, scalable, and available when it matters most.
How you'll make an impact:
Re-architect and maintain the ever growing needs on our Kubernetes fleet and its supporting infrastructure.
Continually improve and expand the continuous delivery of the product.
Work in cross-functional teams (from hardware to cloud) to build new capabilities for the platform.
Work directly with security to continually improve the practices and controls that will keep our customer’s data and drones safe.
Drive cost saving initiatives early into Skydio’s product, so that it scales over time.
What makes you a good fit:
8+ years of experience as a Site Reliability Engineer, Platform Engineer, DevOps or equivalent infrastructure role.
Can comfortably debug and automate Kubernetes clusters.
Not hesitant to jump into the code to fix the underlying issue (Python or Go preferred).
Prior experience implementing continuous deployment systems.
