  • Build hardware data integration software to decode avionics data bus streams and GPIO signals into REST APIs.
  • Define, document, and version interface contracts between internal services to ensure stable integrations for other teams.
  • Create scalable system configurations that allow for per-airline customization without requiring code changes or new deployments.
  • Package and deploy containerized workloads with health endpoints while managing over-the-air software delivery and rollbacks.
  • Write automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure reliability across various device types.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent.
  • 6+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
  • 4+ years of full software development life cycle experience including coding standards, code reviews, and operations.
  • 6+ years of programming with at least one software programming language.
  • 5+ years of leading design or architecture of new and existing systems.
  • Experience as a mentor, tech lead, or leading an engineering team.
  • Experience building complex software systems that have been successfully delivered to customers.
