Le poste
Within the R&D team, you will develop user interfaces while also working on the company's backend modules and external API.
The interfaces and software you develop help supervise and pilot drone swarms, and make the most of the data collected for end users.
Main missions
Develop and improve the user interface for swarm piloting and data visualisation (TypeScript, Vue.js).
Contribute to developing and evolving the external API to ease integration with other customer systems.
Develop backend modules for drone communication, mission generation and swarm management (TypeScript, Python, Docker, Prefect).
Adapt interfaces to real operational needs and gather user feedback.
Other tasks
Take part in team ceremonies (scrum, sprint planning, reviews) and in assessing the feasibility and complexity of developments.
Take part in on-site tests, demonstrations and training to validate developments and optimise the user experience.
