- Build and ship full-stack product end-to-end, including data pipelines, API integrations, and React-based frontends.
- Design and deploy production-ready AI/LLM features, such as voice to record agents, integrated into critical aviation workflows.
- Own major architectural decisions and feature development from day one, ensuring software meets the rigorous demands of aircraft certification.
The ideal candidate
