Key skills for this role
Legion is not a normal web application. It is command and control software that has to present dense real-time information, coordinate distributed systems, and continue being useful when communications are imperfect.
Swarm Aero is redefining air power. We are building autonomous aircraft and Legion, command and control software designed to coordinate large numbers of heterogeneous autonomous systems. Our team combines experience building novel aircraft, scaling startups, and delivering technology for national security.
You will own a scoped project with a clear technical or business outcome, work directly with the people responsible for the system, and present what you built and learned at the end of the summer. The goal is not to give you practice work. It is to give you useful work with the support to do it well.
· Build product features across frontend, backend, full-stack, real-time, or forward-deployed software
· Develop interfaces for telemetry, geospatial data, mission planning, scheduling, collaboration, or system health
· Build and operate backend services, APIs, event-driven systems, or data pipelines
· Write automated tests, improve developer tooling, and help ship production-quality software
· Support integration and test events, debug issues across services and networks, and turn what you learn into product improvements
