$90k–$160k DOE Full-Time Remote Annapolis, MD
TILT Autonomy, Inc. — Remote or Annapolis, MD
Full-Time | $90k–$160k DOE
TILT Autonomy builds the autonomy hardware and software that lets aircraft and boats flyand sail themselves — flight management control systems, the code that runs on them, andthe tools that make both possible. Most of us got here the same way: taking things apart,writing our own tools when the ones on the shelf didn't fit, and staying up too late toget something working.
The team is focused and deeply technical, and our systems are outin the field doing real work.
Some questions we actually care about:
- Do you build your own tools when the existing ones get in your way?
- Do you want to go deep on both sides of the boundary — the software and the hardware itruns on?
- Is there a project on your bench right now that nobody asked you to start?
- Does shipping a capability that didn't exist last month mean more to you than a title?
If you found yourself nodding, keep reading. The engineers who do their best work hereare the ones with a soldering iron and a 3D printer at home, a repo full of scripts theywrote for an audience of one, and a habit of building the thing rather than filing aticket about it.
About the RoleYou'll build the internal tools that keep TILT running — the systems the team uses tomanage BOMs and procurement, track inventory, print labels, run dashboards, and put Claude to work on the tedious parts of the day. You own them end to end: the database,the back end, and the interface people actually click.
This is the job for someone who has always built their own tools. A teammate walks overwith a rough annoyance, and a few days later there's a thing that makes it disappear —and you get to watch people use it that same week. Nothing here is a ticket handed downfrom a spec: you decide what to build, how to build it, and when it's good enough toship.
Plenty of it touches real hardware too, from label printers on the shop floor tothe vendor systems our parts come through.
- Build and maintain full-stack web tools — front end, back end, and database — forprocurement, BOM management, inventory, shipping and labels, and internal dashboards
- Own the full software lifecycle: design, build, test, deploy, document, and support what's running
- Integrate with the services we depend on — Google Workspace, vendor sites like Digi Keyand McMaster, shipping carriers, and hardware like label printers
- Build Claude-powered features into our internal tools (our assistant already runs onthe Anthropic API)
- Model and wrangle data, and build the reporting and visualization the team acts on
- Keep it reliable — sensible testing, version control, and deployment
- 3+ years building and shipping full-stack web applications
- Back-end experience with a framework such as Flask or Node/Express
- Front-end experience with React (Next.js) or a comparable framework
- Working knowledge of SQL and relational databases (we run SQLite today)
- REST API design and integration
- Comfortable with Git, and in the habit of testing what you ship
- A self-starter who can take a rough need and carry it to a working tool without a spec
- Experience integrating LLMs into applications (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or similar)
- Google Workspace API experience — Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Sheets
- Web scraping and automation (Selenium, Playwright)
- Data wrangling with pandas
- Experience integrating hardware and peripherals (printers, scanners)
- Docker, CI/CD, and deploying on Linux
- Background in a manufacturing or hardware environment
- Build things that didn't exist. Focused team, hard problems, and tools the whole company feels the day you ship them.
- Ownership. You'll own these tools end to end and see people use them the same week.
- Sustainable pace. We work hard and build for the long haul.
- Benefits. ICHRA health benefit, 401(k), and paid time off.
Remote or on-site in Annapolis, MD. This work is a strong fit for remote — most of it isweb tooling. Occasional travel to Annapolis for the hardware-adjacent pieces (label printers, shop-floor tools) helps but isn't required.
