Direct Hire

$170k - $190k

We are partnering with a Los Angeles based aviation technology company building next generation software platforms that power real-time flight operations, aircraft monitoring, and operational decision making. This is a full-time role focused on designing and scaling cloud-native, data-driven applications that integrate aircraft data, operational systems, and user-facing tools. The technology stack spans modern frontend frameworks, backend services, real-time data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure supporting mission-critical aviation systems.

This is not a typical software role you’ll be building systems that directly interact with the physical world of aviation. The #1 differentiator is real-time impact: your work will be used by operators, engineers, and aviation partners making live decisions every day. The team is looking for engineers who want ownership, autonomy, and the chance to deeply understand both the technology and the operational reality behind it. You’ll gain hands-on experience with real-world data, scalable systems, and aviation-grade reliability all while working in an environment that values learning, thoughtful execution, and sustainable work-life balance.

Required Skills & Experience
  • 5+ years of experience as a full-stack, software, or data engineer
  • Strong experience building and maintaining backend services in Go or similar languages

  • Experience working with real-time or operational data systems
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP) and infrastructure-as-code tools
  • Experience designing and consuming REST and/or gRPC APIs
  • Frontend experience with React, Angular, or similar JavaScript frameworks
Desired Skills & Experience

  • Background in aviation, aerospace, mobility, IoT, or logistics
  • Experience with event-driven systems such as WebSockets or MQTT
  • Exposure to sensor data, GPS, or fleet telemetry systems
  • Startup or high-ownership engineering experience

What You Will Be Doing
  • Designing, building, and maintaining full-stack applications used in aviation operations
  • Developing backend services that process real-time flight and operational data
  • Building intuitive, reliable frontend experiences for operational users
  • Collaborating with aviation users, vendors, and internal teams to understand edge cases and operational constraints
  • Improving system reliability, observability, and performance under heavy load
  • Contributing to architecture decisions, best practices, and CI/CD workflows

Tech Breakdown
  • 50% Backend Services & APIs (Go / Java, cloud services)
