Junior Software Engineer / Drone Choreographer

For our live events department, we are looking for someone who can translate the emotions of a soundtrack into drone choreography while also bringing solid engineering skills to the table. In this role you’ll help create new choreographies for world-class productions such as Eurovision and artists including Celine Dion and Justin Bieber. Beyond the artistic work, you’ll also contribute to the technical backbone: developing our choreography pipeline, implementing new features in our drone show operation software, and improving the support tools that keep our global fleet flying reliably.

Do you thrive at the intersection of art and technology? Do you want to join a fast-moving team where your contributions will make a difference? Then join us!

• Developing new features for our drone show operation software and our choreography tools in C++
• Improving and extending Python-based support tools for our growing global fleet
• Providing Level 2 and Level 3 support for ongoing shows

• Collaborating with clients, directors, and creatives to design drone choreographies
• Programming and testing choreographies for new shows in C++
• Traveling on-site to help deliver shows worldwide

• Degree in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a similar field

• Ability to quickly learn and adapt to new topics

• Web development or other modern software tooling experience
• Background in live entertainment, animation, or similar creative fields
• Experience in System and Controls (localization, control, hardware interfaces)

• A great engineering culture, including flat hierarchies, an open-door policy, and a focus on joint responsibility and mutual trust and support
• Working with a skilled, high-achieving, experienced, and fun team—with lots of opportunities to develop your professional career and grow with the company
• Flexibility of a hybrid work environment. You can arrange start and finish times around your life (picking up kids, walking the dog, training for your next marathon at lunch)
• 25 days of annual leave, employee stock ownership plan (conditions apply), variety of pension plans, and relocation packages
