das Unternehmen is a Zürich-based technology company building tethered drones for first responders and defence. Our das Unternehmen Sigma delivers persistent, multi-day, aerial situational awareness to customers worldwide. We develop the full drone stack in-house, from flight control firmware to video processing, cloud backends, user interfaces, and manufacture our systems right here in Zürich.

As a (Senior) Generalist Software Engineer, your main focus is Linux-level software on the Sigma ground station, which runs on the Nvidia Jetson platform: from the base image and system services to image and video processing. Around that core, you also work on our manufacturing tooling and cloud services, writing mainly Go and Python. You take problems from the first report to the shipped fix, work closely with production, support and hardware colleagues, and help make sure that no critical system depends on a single person. You work with a high degree of autonomy, set technical direction in your area, and are trusted to make the call when there is no one else to ask.

What is your daily mission:

• Develop Linux-level software for the Sigma ground station on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX: system services, networking, device configuration, security hardening and the ground station's configuration interface.
• Build and optimize image and video processing on the Jetson
• Build and operate cloud services and internal tools in Go and Python on Google Cloud, such as fleet management, production APIs, over-the-air update services and log pipelines.
• Automate with Bash and Python and keep our engineering foundations healthy: Docker build images, CI pipelines on GitHub, dependency and toolchain updates, and a reliable release process.
• Act as an escalation point for customer support, production and software alerts: analyse logs and fleet data, tell hardware faults from software bugs, reproduce issues on real hardware and deliver fixes.
