Backend Engineer

Location: Ramat-Gan, Israel (IL)

Experience Level: Senior

Description

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

eyesAtop 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 eyesAtop 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

• 3+ 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
