What are the responsibilities and job description for the Full Stack Software Engineer position at Hex, Inc.?
About Hextronics
Hex is building the infrastructure for on-demand aerial data. We design and manufacture drone-in-a-box systems that automate repetitive drone operations, taking humans out of the loop so the people who depend on aerial data can move faster. We're a small, agile team, we move fast, take on extreme ownership, and build products in months, not years.
The Role
We’re looking for a junior or mid-level full stack engineer to help build and maintain the software powering our drone operations platform. You’ll work across the stack — from database design to React interfaces — contributing to systems that control real hardware in the real world.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain full stack features across our web applications using Python and React
- Design and manage relational database schemas, queries, and migrations
- Collaborate with hardware and robotics teams to surface drone control to real-time web interfaces
- Write clean, tested, and well-documented code
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices
- Debug issues across the full stack in a fast-moving environment
- Work well with Artificial Intelligence to maximize functional output
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
- 1–5 years of professional software development experience
- Proficiency in Python for backend development
- Experience building UIs with React
- Working knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar)
- Strong fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, REST APIs
Nice to Have
- Exposure to drone systems, UAV platforms, robotics, or aerospace software
- Familiarity with MAVLink or other drone communication protocols
- Experience with real-time data systems or WebSockets
- Background in embedded systems or hardware-adjacent software
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and equity
- Health, dental, and vision coverage
- The chance to work on software that controls physical systems in the field
- A small, technical team where your work ships and matters
Hex is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
