## About the role

Neros builds first-person-view drones for the modern battlefield. As a Lead, Software Application Engineer, you will own the development of applications — the web, desktop, and Android tools and backend services our operators and engineers use to plan missions, configure the system, and record and analyze flight data. You will own the development, quality, and delivery across both, and grow the team behind them.

## What they're looking for

- Lead and grow the team across application and backend development — hiring, mentorship, and performance management
- Own application development end to end using modern cross-platform stacks spanning Windows, Linux, macOS, and web
- Own the backend behind them — services and APIs, data pipelines into our analytics datalake, identity and tenancy, and software update
- Build for offline: our tools run with or without a connection to the backend, and offline is a normal operating state rather than a failure to handle
- Make the hard architecture calls — front-end architecture, build vs. adopt, data model, tenancy and security, local vs. backend state
- Set and uphold engineering and operational quality — code review, testing, CI/CD, observability, on-call
