Careers at Paladin
We’re building something that doesn’t exist. In five years, no one will remember what it was like to not have drones as first responders. Help create the future of public safety.
FAST AND FUN
About Working Here

Paladin deploys autonomous drones to 911 calls. Our first drone, Knighthawk, arrives on the scene of an emergency in under 2 minutes and gives first responders a live overhead view of the scene before they arrive, helping reduce response times and increase situational awareness. Knighthawk is a fully autonomous LTE drone with unlimited range, a 55 minute battery life, and is responding to over 130 calls each week across several cities. Over the next decade, our tech will be in every city across the world helping first responders save lives.
We’ve created a software platform that allows for full control of UAVs over LTE and 5G, and allows autonomous functionality, as well as video streaming. Our strong relations with local cities and our understanding of the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) has also allowed us to get waivers to fly our UAVs in any city - this has put us in a great position to expand quickly into as many cities as possible. We’re growing our team and our tech, and are currently looking for an experienced salesperson to help us increase our momentum and secure new contracts with departments across the country.
We’re hiring embedded engineers who want to build products that save lives. Experience with Linux and RTOS is great, and a background with C/C++. Super plus if you’ve worked with IoT, cellular-connected devices before. Knighthawk can be controlled with the touch of one button from anywhere in the world, and this role would focus on adding more autonous features to the drone and shipping new features every week based off requests from our first responder customers. Experience with drone frameworks such as MAVSDK, PX4, MavLink are great but not required.
We’re hiring for a marketing position to help us spread stories about Paladin, highlight our customers and their successes, and work towards the goal of getting as many drones responding to emergencies and saving lives as possible. Experience with social media campaigns, local press engagement, would be great; but what's required is a desire to help create the branding and messaging of a company from its very early steps. This becomes more and more crucial as we launch into new cities (and we're launching in several a month so far).
We’re hiring full stack web developers who want to build products that save lives. Knighthawk can be controlled from anywhere in the world with any internet-connected device, and are looking to add to our web-dev team to build the best user interface possible that allow for fully autonomous control of the drone. We are also integrating several 3rd party APIs to make integrations with other complementary companies, building out analytic tools, and adding feature requests from customers every week. Experience with React is great, as well as working with AWS/Firebase for real-time data operations.
We’re hiring a video engineer who wants to build products that save lives. Knighthawk live streams a 1080p video over LTE/Cellular, and we want to keep building better compression and decompression algorithms to increase quality and decrease latency. Today, we can stream 1080p at <200ms, but want to make it even lower and find a way to do this via 4k video as well. We’ll have succeeded when we can control a drone from a laptop as if it’s a first-person-view game! Experience with streaming formats such as WebRTC, HLS, RTMP are great, as well as experience with FFMPEG, OpenCV, etc. Experiencing working on embedded devices is a plus!
