Senior/Principal Full-Stack Software Engineer

About BRINC

At BRINC, we are redefining public safety with an innovative ecosystem of life-saving tools. Our journey started with the development of drones and ruggedized throw phones, designed to access unsafe areas and establish communication to de-escalate situations.

Today, we've expanded into creating and deploying 911 response networks, where drones are dispatched to 911 calls to provide real-time visual data, enhancing safety and enabling de-escalation-focused responses.

Our cutting-edge solutions are utilized by over 500 public safety agencies across America. At BRINC, we are committed to recruiting the world's best talent to join us in our mission to support first responders in saving lives.

We are currently seeking skilled embedded software engineers to develop flight-critical firmware, with a focus on advanced drone pilot assistance features.

About This Role

In addition to launching more advanced drones, we're also expanding our software ecosystem into real-time monitoring and fleet management, and we recently shipped the first version of our first web app : LiveOps.

This app gives drone operators and first response teams access to real-time live-streaming drone data such as visual and thermal video feeds, 3D map data via point clouds, and a myriad of drone telemetry it’s essentially a web-based drone fleet management software.

But our vision isn’t just fleet management; LiveOps represents a critical part of BRINC’s transition from a company that just sells drones to a company that sells entire drone programs : we want to build out the entire drone ecosystem (both hardware and software) for our customers.

It’s an ambitious goal, but it’s one that we feel confident about we’ve got a lot of interest from customers in what we’ve built so far, and we are seeking a full-stack engineer to join our engineering team and own the development of this web app.
