About DroneDeploy
What is DroneDeploy?
Founded in 2013, DroneDeploy is the reality-capture company behind "the robotics and AI platform used on over 3 million sites in 180 countries." Its software combines aerial drones, 360 and fixed cameras, ground robots and proprietary AI to give field teams "a live, trusted record of what's happening on-site – so they can manage work based on reality, not assumptions." As the company puts it, "DroneDeploy powers field teams with robotics and AI." The world's largest companies in construction, energy and agriculture use the platform "to simplify field operations, improve safety, and make smarter decisions, faster" — bringing automation and visual intelligence "to all stakeholders, from the field to the boardroom."
Where will I work?
DroneDeploy is a "mostly remote-first culture," headquartered in San Francisco and operating as a globally distributed workforce. Most open roles are fully remote — US engineering positions are tagged remote-first ("Remote role based in the U.S."), with active openings also in London, Sydney and Auckland. Expectations vary by role: client-facing teams travel for customer meetings and company gatherings (Account Executives spend "25%-50% of the time" in the field), while engineers work in "a remote-first role within the U.S., with reasonable expectations for overlapping collaboration hours and limited travel."
What is the DroneDeploy team like?
DroneDeploy describes its team as "bold, mission-driven, and building something that matters," fostering "a culture where a variety of perspectives drive smart decisions." Three values guide the company: "Build trust" ("We are open, accountable, and follow through on our commitments"), "Simplify" ("We do the hard work to find simplicity on the other side of complexity") and "Make it happen" ("We have a bias towards action"). The company highlights "a strong track record of internal promotions" and invests "in people as much as we do in product."
Work-Life Balance
DroneDeploy offers "Flexible Work Arrangements – Enjoy autonomy with remote-first options and schedule flexibility" alongside "Flexible PTO – Take time off when you need it to recharge—we trust you to manage your time well." The company also provides "flexible time away" and "Paid Family Leave – Take the time you need to support your family during life's most important moments." DroneDeploy is a certified Great Place to Work, with 100% of surveyed employees saying it's a great place to work.
