Senior Full-stack Software Engineer

About the Position

We are seeking a Senior Full-stack Software Engineer to develop high-load microservice systems with cross-platform desktop applications for autonomous drones. Join OMD Systems, a company dedicated to building reliable, intelligent unmanned systems for defence and security applications.

Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and maintain high-load microservice systems with cross-platform desktop applications using Electron and React.
• Implement stable and secure IPC communication for desktop applications.
• Create a high-load system with flexible scalability for both server and application.
• Work closely with backend, firmware, and systems engineers to ensure stable, low-latency data exchange.
• Manage application lifecycle, window management, background processes, and system permissions for desktop applications.
• Build and integrate features such as mapping, telemetry visualization, mission control, and video streaming.
• Contribute to architecture decisions and performance optimizations.
• Create clear and structured developer/user documentation.
• Collaborate with QA and design teams to support testing, validation, and UX improvements.
• Participate in code reviews and help maintain high engineering standards.

Cross-Platform & OS Integration for desktop applications

• Ensure correct behavior on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
• Handle OS-specific permissions (network, screen capture, hardware access).
• Integrate system-level features where required (file system, USB, networking).

Performance, Stability & Reliability

• Optimize system for long-running missions.
• Identify and resolve memory leaks, race conditions, and performance bottlenecks.
• Ensure stable behavior under high-frequency telemetry and video streams.
• Implement graceful recovery from crashes or disconnections.

Video Streaming & Real-Time Data for desktop applications

• Integrate real-time video streams into the Electron application.
• Synchronize video, telemetry, and UI overlays.
• Handle stream reconnects, latency spikes, and quality degradation.
• Optimize performance for combined video + telemetry rendering.

Requirements

Core Technical Skills

• Strong experience with JavaScript / TypeScript.
• Proven experience building Electron applications.
• Strong experience with React and modern frontend patterns.
• Solid understanding of asynchronous and event-driven architectures.
• Experience designing and implementing algorithms for object trajectory estimation and prediction.
• Ability to calculate probabilistic outcomes based on multiple dynamic factors.
• Experience working with real-time kinematic data and continuously updating predictions.
• Ability to balance accuracy, performance, and numerical stability in real-time systems.
• Ability to handle unreliable networks and timing-sensitive communication.
• Experience working with real-time telemetry or streaming data.
• Understanding of TCP/UDP networking.

Desktop & System-Level Development

• Understanding of Electron main vs renderer processes.
• Experience with IPC, background workers, and native OS integration.
• Familiarity with cross-platform build and packaging processes.

Performance & Debugging

• Experience profiling and optimizing performance in applications.
• Ability to debug complex real-time and concurrency issues.
• Experience working with logs, telemetry, and runtime diagnostics.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Docker or containerized development workflows.
• Understanding of real-time databases, live data handling, and high-frequency streaming.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing for server & desktop app environments.
• Knowledge of additional frontend frameworks or visualization libraries.
• Familiarity with geospatial tools, video codecs, or telemetry analysis.

We Offer

• Competitive compensation.
• The opportunity to work on cutting-edge drone control systems used in real-world missions.
• Collaboration with highly experienced engineers, operators, and test pilots.
• Direct impact on flight operations, system reliability, and mission success.
