Cofounder Opportunity: Drone Software Lead (ROS2 / C++ / Gazebo PX4)

We are looking for a technical cofounder to lead the evolution of our software stack. In the near term, your mission is hands‑on: understand the existing codebase, optimize and modernize it, validate performance improvements, and ensure portability to the latest Pixhawk processors. As Windtracx grows, you will transition into the software lead role and own the architecture, development process, and technical direction of the platform.

This is not a generic software role. You will work on a demanding autonomous ...
