Mission:

We are looking for a highly skilled Software Developer to help design, build, and evolve TEKEVER’s Ground Control System — the core software that plans, monitors, and controls our unmanned aircraft missions.

In this role, you will contribute across different GCS initiatives depending on business needs, from real-time flight systems to mission tooling, payload control, comms/messaging, and operator workflows. You will also play a key role in our transition towards an agentic development approach, enabling more autonomy, automation, and AI-assisted engineering across the team.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in complex technical environments, values high ownership, and wants to help shape the future of a mission-critical product used globally.

What You’ll Do:

1. Technical Ownership & Delivery

  • Design, build, and maintain backend components of the Ground Control System using C#/.NET.

  • Implement robust real-time systems that manage telemetry, mission planning, payload operations, and operator workflows.

  • Improve performance, reliability, and scalability across different modules of the GCS codebase.

  • Contribute to modernizing architecture, tools, and engineering practices as the system evolves.

2. Architecture & System Design

  • Design APIs, messaging flows, asynchronous pipelines, and multi-threaded components for high-reliability environments.

  • Contribute to architectural decisions around modularity, data flows, error-handling, and system decomposition.

  • Work with classification systems, message processors, payload interfaces, and complex stateful components.

  • Help shape architectural direction in collaboration with software architects and product owners.

3. Agentic Development & Automation

As part of TEKEVER’s agentic engineering roadmap, you will:

  • Use AI/LLM-based tools to accelerate development, refactoring, documentation, and testing.

  • Support the design of internal autonomous agents that assist with coding, validation, CI/CD, and documentation.

  • Promote automation and tooling that reduces manual effort and increases engineering leverage.

  • Help define safe, reviewable, and high-quality AI-assisted workflows for the team.

4. Quality, Reliability & Operations

  • Ensure high-quality code through strong testing strategies, clean patterns, and consistent documentation.

  • Analyse complex performance and concurrency issues, especially in real-time data environments.

  • Improve system observability through structured logging, instrumentation, and monitoring.

  • Collaborate with DevOps and QA to ensure smooth delivery pipelines and reproducible builds.


What We’re Looking For:

Experience

  • 2+ years of professional software development experience.

  • Background in C# and .NET (Framework and/or .NET 6+).

  • Experience building real-time, high-availability, or mission-critical systems.

  • Experience with large desktop or client applications (WPF experience is a plus).

Technical Skills

  • Proficiency in C#, async programming, multi-threading, and memory management.

  • Experience designing APIs, distributed systems, or event-driven workflows.

  • Familiarity with: Messaging systems (RabbitMQ, Kafka, etc.); Docker / containerisation; CI/CD tooling (GitLab, GitHub, Jenkins, etc.); Observability stacks (ELK, Graylog, Prometheus, Grafana); Data streaming or real-time telemetry

  • Experience with WPF/MVVM or desktop application architecture is an advantage.

Mindset & Soft Skills

  • Strong sense of ownership and engineering autonomy.

  • Ability to navigate ambiguity and contribute to architectural decisions.

  • Excellent debugging, problem-solving, and system-design thinking.

  • Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset.

  • Enthusiasm for automation, AI-assisted development, and continuous improvement.

Why Join TEKEVER GCS

  • Work on software that powers real UAV operations around the world.

  • Influence architecture, tooling, and engineering practices across the GCS product line.

  • Help drive TEKEVER’s transition to agentic engineering and AI-assisted development.

  • Join a team that values autonomy, collaboration, and technical excellence.

  • Contribute to meaningful, high-impact missions across maritime, defence, and civil applications.
