About BRINC:
At BRINC, we are building the technology that will define the future of emergency response. As a vertically integrated U.S. drone technology company, BRINC designs and manufactures unmanned aircraft systems, autonomous drone stations, command-and-control software, and advanced autonomy for public safety. Today, BRINC deploys Drone as First Responder (DFR) networks that dispatch drones directly to 911 calls, providing real-time aerial intelligence before ground units arrive and helping first responders make faster, safer decisions. BRINC serves more than 1,000 public safety customers across all 50 states, is the sole drone supplier to Motorola Solutions, and has raised more than $280 million from leading strategic and technology investors, including Motorola Solutions, Index Ventures, Sam Altman, Dylan Field, and others. BRINC is recruiting exceptional engineers to build the next generation of autonomous emergency-response technology, including flight-critical firmware and advanced pilot-assistance capabilities.
About this Role:
As a Backend Engineer working on LiveOps at BRINC, you will build and manage the real-time backend infrastructure that keeps our public safety drones connected, streaming, and fully operational in high-stakes environments. You will own the live operational stack, focusing on low-latency telemetry, video distribution, remote control links, and system uptime when seconds matter most.
You’ll work at the intersection of backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and hardware-in-the-loop systems to ensure that when a drone deploys on a mission, the live operations platform is solid, secure, and performant. This is an exciting opportunity to make major impacts in a fast-paced startup environment.
Key Responsibilities:
•
Own the scalable backend platform that supports our worldwide real-time services
•
Ensure our platform is secure, reliable, and performant
•
Build our platform infrastructure and tooling
•
Rapidly prototype new project ideas for customers and internal stakeholders
•
Work with cross-functional hardware and autonomy teams to solve challenges like streaming and displaying live drone data for non-technical users in a variety of formats
Qualifications:
•
Degree in computer science or a related field and 5+ years of experience shipping high-quality code and building robust infrastructure
•
Experience building backend platforms, from the infrastructure up to the API layer (bonus if you’ve built real-time data platforms, scalable microservice architectures, and are experienced in dealing with security and encryption requirements)
•
Experience with modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, etc) and are comfortable switching between software engineering and Cloud DevOps
•
Familiarity with serverless architecture, and understand the tradeoffs between performance and cost when running servers at scale
•
Demonstrated experience with cloud architectures focused on scale, performance and security
Preferred Skills:
•
Experience with real-time systems or embedded software development
•
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practice
BRINC Culture Values:
•
Try the hard stuff
•
Be innovative - Invent the future
•

Strive for excellence
•
Don’t build a dystopia
•
Be frugal
•
