Job Description A client is looking for a Software Engineer to join a small, collaborative product team focused on modernizing critical aviation software. This engineer will work across the full software development lifecycle, including design, development, testing, deployment, integration, and production support.
A major focus of this role is using
AI-assisted development and coding agents
within real production environments. The ideal candidate is a strong software engineer who can break down complex problems, effectively direct AI coding tools, evaluate generated code, and ensure solutions meet production standards for quality, security, maintainability, and reliability.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, test, deploy, and support production software.
- Modernize and integrate software within complex existing systems.
- Use AI coding agents for development, refactoring, debugging, testing, migrations, and codebase exploration.
- Break ambiguous requirements into clear technical tasks, acceptance criteria, and deliverables.
- Review and validate AI-generated code for quality, architecture, security, performance, and maintainability.
- Build appropriate automated testing and verification around software changes.
- Work within cloud environments and established CI/CD processes.
- Identify technical risks, dependencies, and architectural tradeoffs.
- Participate in code reviews, production support, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Must-Haves
- Strong software engineering experience with
Python or another general-purpose programming language
.
- Experience designing, developing, and supporting
production software
.
- Hands-on experience using
coding agents or AI-assisted development tools
to make meaningful changes within real software systems.
- Ability to break down complex or ambiguous engineering problems into structured development tasks.
- Experience reviewing and improving AI-generated code rather than relying on generated output without validation.
- Strong understanding of
testing, CI/CD, observability, security, source control, and production operations
.
- Experience working in
cloud environments
and integrating with existing systems.
- Strong technical judgment and communication skills.
Plusses
- Experience building or improving
agentic software development workflows
.
- Experience coordinating multiple coding agents or using agents for larger refactors and migrations.
- Experience modernizing complex or legacy production systems.
- Full-stack or multi-layer software development experience.
- Experience within regulated, safety-critical, or high-reliability environments.
- Aviation software experience or aviation-domain knowledge.
