Full‑Stack Software Engineer — Aviation Industry Disruptor
Join a venture‑backed startup re‑imagining how airlines and airports run.
Our client is building a unified operations platform that helps front‑line agents, planners, and engineers keep flights on time, handle disruptions in real time, and deliver a seamless passenger experience. As an early team member, you’ll own end‑to‑end delivery—shaping architecture, shipping production code, and seeing your work used by operators across the world.
We’re looking for talented software engineers from the aviation industry. You’ll be using Rust, but we’re happy to consider Software Engineers from any programming background.
What you’ll do
* Build robust back‑end services in Rust using gRPC and Postgres.
* Design and evolve a real‑time optimiser for allocation & disruption use cases (think: resources, schedules, constraints).
* Model complex operational rules and encode them into scalable optimisation logic.
* Ensure reliability and observability across services (metrics, tracing, alerting, SLOs).
* Design flexible, future‑proof data models for a diverse and intricate industry domain.
* Contribute to the front end when needed (Flutter/Dart; occasional React/TypeScript).
* Collaborate closely with product & customers to scope, deliver, and iterate quickly.
* Automate quality & delivery with CI/CD pipelines for validation and deployment.
Must‑have skills
* Modelling / Optimisation: Hands‑on experience modelling systems and solving optimisation problems.
* Aviation domain knowledge (airline or airport operations)
* C++ or Rust: Comfortable reading and writing idiomatic Rust.
* Relational Databases & SQL: Proficient with Postgres (schema design, performance).
* Independent Delivery: Capable of owning features end‑to‑end with minimal oversight.
* Problem‑Solving Mindset: Thrive in fast‑moving startup environments.
Nice‑to‑have extras
* Back‑end engineering experience in modern, service‑oriented systems.
* Flutter/Dart and/or React/TypeScript exposure.
* gRPC/Protobuf (unary & streaming).
* Apache Arrow/Parquet for high‑performance data workflows.
* Observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch.
* CI/CD & containerisation: GitHub Actions, Docker (or similar).
Why this role
* High impact: Every release helps real teams keep operations running and passengers moving.
* High autonomy: Own features end‑to‑end and shape architecture from the ground up.
* Meaningful upside: Competitive salary plus equity as we scale.
* Remote‑first culture: Work anywhere in the UK with flexible hours and a supportive, high‑trust team.
