## About the role

Pyka is looking for a software engineer to own the path our software takes from the development branch to the fleet. Issues from the field arrive without regard to subsystem boundaries, so you will work across the full aircraft software stack: autonomy, controls, avionics interfaces, and ground systems. You will decide what ships to the fleet and when, own several aircraft software systems directly, and build the testing and release infrastructure the engineering team relies on.

## What they're looking for

- Professional experience with C++ (ideally C++11 or newer): 2+ years for Engineer II, 5+ years for Senior
- Professional experience with Python
- A track record of debugging difficult problems in systems you did not write, often with incomplete data
- Experience with testing infrastructure, CI/CD, release engineering, or build and distribution systems for software that ships to physical devices
- Interest in or experience with real-world robotic systems, especially where software interacts with hardware
- Comfort working across the stack from low-level systems to user-facing tools
