Technical Lead, Backend (Civil Aviation)

Strong experience building production-grade backend or distributed systems where strong design principles make the difference in maintainability, scalability, and performance.

Proficiency in at least one modern programming language. We work in Rust and Python and expect you to have the foundation to quickly learn these languages.

Experience with real-time or near-real-time data pipelines where latency and correctness are both constraints, not trade-offs.

Experience with data integration, data storage, data processing, and data modeling systems.

Experience with AWS and cloud-native architectures.

Experience leading small engineering teams (~3 - 8 engineers) while remaining hands-on.

Ability to own systems end-to-end, from design through production operation.

Track record of setting technical direction and driving execution across projects or product areas.

Strong ability to navigate complex, multi-system environments with evolving data models.

High bar for engineering quality, reliability, and operational excellence.

Strong collaboration skills and ability to work across teams in a mission-critical environment.

Exposure to high-availability systems (e.g., “four nines” reliability) is a strong plus.

Proficient in leveraging modern LLM tools to accelerate development workflows and enhance code quality.

Domain experience in aviation, mapping, geospatial systems, or any field where the physical world is the source of truth and data is always an approximation of it is a strong plus.

We look at the interview process not as a screening or test, but rather as an opportunity to simulate what it would look like working together. We build the interview process around you.
