Role Summary

As a Senior 3D Software Engineer at DroneDeploy, you'll take a leading technical role in building the immersive visualization tools our customers depend on. Reality capture is evolving rapidly, and our platform sits at the forefront. You will be instrumental in bringing together diverse sources of spatial data—from drone-generated maps, 360 videowalks, and handheld LiDAR scans to complex BIM models. You will tackle the challenge of building cohesive, performant 3D experiences from these inputs, leveraging emerging technologies like gaussian splatting. This is your chance to help shape the architecture of our 3D engine, solve our most complex visualization challenges, and create tools that give our customers unprecedented insight into their physical spaces. You will work closely with a team of product engineers to design and implement cutting-edge 3D features, primarily using Three.js.

You'll champion diversity and encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply—share your distinctive strengths with us and help us understand the unique perspectives you bring to the table.
