Full Stack Software Engineer

About Hextronics

Hex is building the infrastructure for on-demand aerial data. We design and manufacture drone-in-a-box systems that automate repetitive drone operations, taking humans out of the loop so the people who depend on aerial data can move faster. We're a small, agile team, we move fast, take on extreme ownership, and build products in months, not years.

The Role

We’re looking for a junior or mid-level full stack engineer to help build and maintain the software powering our drone operations platform. You’ll work across the stack — from database design to React interfaces — contributing to systems that control real hardware in the real world.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain full stack features across our web applications using Python and React

• Design and manage relational database schemas, queries, and migrations

• Collaborate with hardware and robotics teams to surface drone control to real-time web interfaces

• Write clean, tested, and well-documented code

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices

• Debug issues across the full stack in a fast-moving environment

• Work well with Artificial Intelligence to maximize functional output

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience

• 1–5 years of professional software development experience

• Proficiency in Python for backend development

• Experience building UIs with React

• Working knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar)

• Strong fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, REST APIs

Nice to Have

• Exposure to drone systems, UAV platforms, robotics, or aerospace software

• Familiarity with MAVLink or other drone communication protocols

• Experience with real-time data systems or WebSockets

• Background in embedded systems or hardware-adjacent software

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and equity

• Health, dental, and vision coverage

• The chance to work on software that controls physical systems in the field

• A small, technical team where your work ships and matters
