About this role

We’re a fast-moving team of aviators, engineers, and operators building an AI platform to make flying safer, more efficient, and more capable. Backed by top investors, we’ve secured Department of Defense contracts and partnered with major airlines for mission-critical systems. We operate without silos or heavy processes.

We are seeking a Frontend Web App Engineer to build high-impact web interfaces that integrate with our flight safety platform. You will work closely with senior engineers, product managers, and designers to develop user-facing features for complex aviation data. You’ll contribute to production systems advancing flight safety and efficiency.

Design and implement React-based features for web applications handling real-time and historical aviation data. Integrate, process, and visualize data from multiple sources including live streams. Collaborate with backend engineers, product managers, and UX/UI designers on feature design.

Small, focused teams own what they build, ship quickly, and learn fast. Contribute to code reviews, follow frontend best practices, and ensure reliable systems through testing. Grow technical skills with mentorship in a collaborative, fast-moving environment.

Push boundaries of how humans and AI work together in aviation. Play a meaningful role while building reusable components and shared libraries. Attention to code quality, performance, and maintainability supports long-term impact.
