About the role
About Us
> Seeing Systems is building autonomous drone systems that can perceive, navigate, and act intelligently in complex real-world environments.
We focus on advancing autonomy through monocular vision, sensor fusion, and robust system design, enabling drones to operate reliably where traditional systems fail.
Seeing Systems was founded by brothers Matthew and Alex Le Maitre, combining deep experience across software, robotics, and defense. Matthew is a former Jane Street engineer and top-ranked computer science graduate from the University of Cambridge, with a background in autonomous systems research. Alexander is a self-taught hardware engineer who has been building unmanned systems and military-grade electronics from a young age, including work on explosive ordnance and national security projects.
We are an early-stage, fast-moving team working at the intersection of robotics, perception, and real-world deployment.
The Role
We’re hiring a Founding Software Engineer to help design and build the core autonomy stack powering our drones. This is a deeply technical, hands-on role where you’ll work across perception, planning, and systems infrastructure—owning critical pieces of the product from day one.
You’ll partner directly with the founders to define architecture, make key technical decisions, and ship systems that perform reliably both in simulation and in the field.
What You'll Do
- Design and build core components of the autonomous drone stack
- Develop perception and state estimation systems using monocular vision and sensor fusion
- Work with and extend robotics frameworks like ROS / ROS2
- Build and test algorithms in simulation environments such as , and deploy to real systems
