About the role
About Hylight
HyLight’s mission is to help society become more resilient to climate change by improving the observation and inspection of infrastructure. HyLight designs and operates next-generation airships for aerial inspections. Our aircraft collect LiDAR, imagery, and methane data to help utilities and infrastructure operators inspect their networks more efficiently and sustainably.
Our activities include:
- Detecting methane leaks from gas infrastructures (4% of global GHG emissions)
- Inspecting power lines to prevent outages and wildfires
By 2030, we aim to become the global leader in aerial monitoring.
In just 3 years, we have pushed the realm of possibilities: as we have:
- Developed 12 iterations of the HyLighter
- Logged over +250 flight hours
- Secured our first inspection contracts with Europe’s largest infrastructure operators
- Joined the world’s top startup accelerator, Y Combinator
- Raised €6 millions
HyLight is aiming for a diverse and included team, if your profile doesn't fit all the description but you can bring a diverse point of view, push it forward, it will be highly appreciated.
We’re well-funded and backed by top investors, providing the resources you wish you had when building your own business. We don’t care about traditional roles or titles—just that you’re smart, proactive, and bring the same founder-level ownership and drive to help us build something massive.
Job Summary
The Platform Team makes the bridges between each team — building the tools to deliver reliable, unified solutions meant to industrialize our processes and keep everyone focused on what matters most. As we scale toward industrial volume, the bottleneck is no longer just flying — it's everything around the flight. We're looking for an experienced Full-Stack Engineer to join the Platform Team, help us build the internal tools, ground station software, and cross-team automations that keep HyLight moving, and support the existing team in what they're already shipping.
