About Cyberdrone

Cyberdrone is an international pioneer in drone light shows, creating extraordinary visual experiences through proprietary drone technology, in-house engineering, and world-class creative production.

With offices across the UAE, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Austria, and Brazil, we've delivered spectacular drone shows across six continents for major events, global brands, festivals, and landmark celebrations.

The Opportunity

We're seeking a reliable and structured Drone Show Pilot to join our UAE-based flight operations team, delivering shows across the Middle East and European Union and occasionally other parts of the world.

This is a hands-on role at the heart of every show. You'll prepare, set up, and fly our drone fleets, working alongside experienced crews and following the procedures that keep every performance safe and on time.

Drone shows happen when audiences gather, so the job regularly involves evenings, nights, weekends, and public holidays, along with frequent travel, sometimes at short notice.

We're looking for someone who loves flying, takes pride in doing things properly, and enjoys the energy of live events in new places.

Key Responsibilities

Set up and fly drone shows, including site preparation, drone layout, rehearsals, and live performances

Follow Cyberdrone's SOPs, checklists, and safety procedures on every show, without shortcuts

Carry out pre-flight and post-flight inspections, routine maintenance, battery management, and basic troubleshooting

Keep flight logs, maintenance records, and show reports accurate and up to date

Support the operations team with local flight permits and site requirements in each country

Prepare, pack, ship, and unpack equipment, and help with warehouse and maintenance tasks

Work closely with international crews, clients, and event partners on site

Share feedback from the field to help improve our procedures and equipment

What We're Looking For

Essential

Proven hands-on drone flying experience, in FPV and/or multi-drone (swarm) operations

A reliable, structured, and methodical way of working: you follow checklists and procedures every time

A solid understanding of flight safety and the basic aviation rules that apply to drone operations

Technical aptitude for troubleshooting hardware, batteries, radio links, and software

Willingness to travel frequently, often for several days or weeks at a time and sometimes at short notice

Flexibility to work evenings, nights, weekends, and public holidays

A valid passport and the ability to travel easily to destinations across the EU, Latin America, Africa, and beyond

Comfort working outdoors, handling physical setup tasks, and performing in varied weather conditions

Good communication skills in English

Highly Desirable

Experience operating drone light shows

A recognized drone pilot certification (for example UAE GCAA, EASA, or FAA Part 107)

A background in aviation, electronics, engineering, or live event production

Additional languages such as Arabic, German, Spanish, Italian, or French

A valid driving licence

What We Offer

Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications

Medical insurance and 24 paid annual leave days

Comprehensive training on Cyberdrone's proprietary drone show technology

The chance to fly at major events and landmark celebrations around the world

A relaxed, supportive, and collaborative working environment built on trust, autonomy, and results, where fresh ideas and initiative are encouraged without micromanagement

Why Join Cyberdrone?

An established international company. Shows on six continents. A seat in the crew that makes them happen.

Our culture is built around six core values: We Collab. We Care. We Deliver. We Dare. We Adapt. We Grow.

We give talented people the freedom to take ownership, contribute ideas, and grow professionally, while maintaining the highest standards of safety and operational excellence.
