Cloud Software Engineer Intern

Skydio is the leading US drone company and the world leader in autonomous flight, the key technology for the future of drones and aerial mobility. The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users. From utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios and beyond.

About the role :

Skydio's mission is to make the world safer and more efficient through autonomous drones. Public safety and critical infrastructure customers rely on Drone as First Responder (DFR) to get eyes on scene in seconds and coordinate effective responses. As a full stack intern on the DFR team, you will help build workflows that span across the stack to enable responders to focus on what matters most.

The DFR team spans the whole Skydio Cloud stack, from React and Relay for live operations and map-centric UIs to backend services for incident workflows and integrations with public safety systems like CAD (computer aided dispatch) and evidence management platforms. We build in TypeScript on the frontend and collaborate closely with backend services (commonly Go and Python). As an intern, you'll gain hands-on experience across the stack, collaborating with engineers, designers, and product managers to deliver meaningful features and learn what it takes to ship production software.

How you'll make an impact

• Design and implement operator-facing features that help first responders coordinate incidents and make faster, safer decisions.
• Leverage curiosity, technical skill, and a collaborative mindset to help make the world more productive, creative, and safe with autonomous drones.
• Collaborate across functions (product managers, designers, engineers, and support) to deliver high-quality, impactful features to customers.
