Job details

Senior Software Engineer, Mobile (USA)

Role Overview

DroneDeploy is transforming how industries see the world. As part of the Ground Mobile team, you’ll build the innovative 3D scanning tools that turn smartphones and 360° cameras into professional-grade mapping devices. Our mission is simple: create the most reliable, user-centric capture tech on the planet. From pre-construction to long-term operations, your code will empower customers to capture reality with a single tap.

We are looking for a Mobile Engineer who cares more about the problem than the tool. You’ll play a critical role in developing the features that allow users to capture the real world in high-fidelity 3D.

We champion diversity and encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply, even if you don't meet every listed qualification. Share with us your distinctive strengths; we're keen to understand the unique perspectives you bring to the table.


Work Environment:
  • Work Model: 100% remote (US-based). We are a remote-first team that stays synced via Slack, Zoom, and shared documentation.

  • Time Zone: 5 hours of overlap with 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM PT.

  • We offer flexibility for personal commitments while prioritizing responsiveness and reliable delivery.
  • Travel: Minimal (1–2 trips per year) for team offsites, industry conferences (like WWDC), or optional company events.


Responsibilities:
  • Build resilient Swift client-side logic offline-first software that performs under real-world constraints, including low-connectivity environments, memory-intensive 3D data, and intermittent hardware signals.

  • Implement features end-to-end from client through to backend API extensions and data persistence.

  • Collaborate with product and design to help translate customer frustrations into elegant technical solutions.

  • Write the code that talks to 360-degree cameras and high-accuracy GPS. You’ll handle the "messy" reality of hardware integration.

  • Use ARKit and AI to prototype new ways to see the world. We value the "failed" experiment that teaches us something new.
  • Elevate team output through reviews and hackathons, leveraging empathetic feedback and new AI-assisted tools to help your peers ship better code, faster.
  • Participate in onsite visits occasionally to experience field workflows directly.


Requirements:
  • 4+ years of experience delivering iOS applications, including meaningful contributions to a production app with a significant user base (e.g., 1k+ MAU) or high architectural complexity.

  • Experience with or a demonstrated eagerness to learn our backend stack (Python, Tornado, MongoDB) to trace data from device to database.

  • Proficiency with Xcode Instruments and telemetry (Sentry/Crashlytics) to troubleshoot crashes, memory leaks, and hardware connectivity issues.

  • Proactive use of AI-assisted tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot, LLMs) to automate boilerplate, accelerate unit testing, and solve problems faster.

  • Experience explaining complex technical trade-offs to non-technical teammates to drive project alignment.


Why Join DroneDeploy?
  • We use AI-assisted tools to remove the "grind," allowing you to focus on high-level architecture and 3D capture challenges.

  • Solve problems involving 3D datasets and hardware communication that go far beyond standard CRUD-style apps.

  • An engineering culture built for async work, psychological safety, and planning before coding.

  • See your code used by customers in construction and energy to capture sites more safely and accurately.
  • Modern Stack: Swift, Python, MongoDB, Kubernetes, and ARKit.
