Lead Software Engineer

Ready to Lead Where Complexity Meets Scale?

At FlyPix AI, we’re transforming complex Earth Observation into something that everyone can use without a PhD in the tech field. And yes, this works well, and we already have many users of the product. Behind the scenes? Terabytes of satellite data, billions of polygons, and cutting-edge machine learning pipelines. It’s ambitious, it’s hard, and we’re doing it anyway.

We’re building a platform that makes geospatial AI intuitive, fast, and accessible. That takes serious engineering muscle, and that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Lead Software Engineer who thrives on tough problems and wants to shape the future of geospatial intelligence. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll architect systems, ship production code, and mentor a tight-knit team of talented engineers. You’ll work across the entire stack, from cloud infrastructure to user-facing frontend, with full ownership of how things are built and scaled.

What You’ll Own

• Design resilient, distributed systems: microservices that run fast and don’t break.
• Build infrastructure that lasts: cloud-agnostic setups with Terraform and Kubernetes.
• Code across the stack: TypeScript and Python on the backend, React on the frontend.
• Optimize data flows for ML, computer vision, and geospatial workloads.
• Mentor and lead: drive technical discussions, review code, and grow a world-class team.

What You Bring

• 7+ years of software engineering experience.
• Proven expertise in designing and scaling distributed systems.
• Real-world experience with machine learning pipelines and data-heavy platforms.
• Strong fundamentals with a learning mindset. You adapt fast, share knowledge, and get things done.
• Attention to detail: little things matter as they differentiate cool products from ordinary ones. As a tiny attention test, in your application, you’ll be asked about the number of geospatial products you worked with. The correct answer is 42.
• A passion for ambitious tech and hard challenges: this is not just another CRUD app.

Why FlyPix AI

• Remote-first: work from anywhere full-time.
• Equity options: your impact goes beyond a paycheck.
• Open culture: your voice matters
• Growth mindset: mentorship, learning resources, and deep tech exposure.
• We value code over resumes: include your GitHub and show us what you’ve built.

At FlyPix AI, we hire based on ability and attitude. We welcome diverse perspectives and backgrounds. If you’re excited by geospatial challenges and want to work with a team that builds from first principles, let’s talk.
