Software Engineer (Typescript, Angular) - Drone Platform - PT/FT - EU/UK

About the Company

Client is a German technology company building professional drone solutions, training programs, and secure, scalable platforms for autonomous operations — making advanced drone technology practical and reliable for industrial and public-sector use.

The Role

Client is rewriting its core software stack — the platform running its drone dock systems, covering mission planning, live video streaming from drones, and geolocation. You'll join a small, senior team (product owner + 2 developers) to help make the stack more feature-proof, particularly on the integration side, opening it up for expanded capabilities and AI-driven post-processing use cases.

What you'll work on:

• Full-stack development across the platform's TypeScript/Angular/Node.js stack
• Building and maintaining APIs and event-driven services
• Working within — and improving — a complex, existing codebase during an active rewrite
• Video stream handling and geolocation-related features
• Optional: hardware/software integration work, with scheduled access to physical drone dock hardware

What we're looking for:

• Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript and Angular
• Experience with Node.js, APIs, and event-driven architecture
  -Comfortable ramping quickly into complex, existing codebases and delivering scoped assignments independently
• Practices clean architecture, automated testing, and clear documentation
• Comfortable working within an AI-assisted development and DevOps workflow (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT/Codex)
• Structured, reliable communicator in English or German

Nice to have:

Background in GIS, IoT, telemetry, robotics, or drones

Engagement details:

• Remote, EU timezone preferred (within ~3 hrs of CET)
  ~25 hrs/week to start, with flexibility up to full-time based on fit
• Initial 3-month contract, extendable — Client is open to long-term collaboration for the right person
• Start: as soon as possible, though skillset fit takes priority over timeline

Interview process:

• Fit and case-study interview
• Technical/structural design discussion
