Description:

Job Summary: In a highly collaborative distributed agile team environment, you would be involved in all stages of the design and implementation of API and data components for Airspace Link’s applications.

Engineers work across one of our small teams. Our main product-focused engineering teams are Infrastructure, Data Warehousing, Product, and API (as a Product). We give people an opportunity to move across teams, but typically hire for gaps on one or more of our teams as an initial assignment.

We work in two-week iterations and give everyone on the team the opportunity to suggest what they want to build to have the biggest impact on our customers. Engineers are given real ownership of what they focus on, and are responsible for tests, user feedback, and supporting value tracking.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Lead and drive innovation initiatives across the full lifecycle—from research and ideation through incubation, scaling, and production—while inspiring team members to contribute and think creatively.

• Architect and build high-performance, distributed systems that enhance data and analytics capabilities, ensuring scalability, high throughput, and low latency.
• Take full ownership of complex features from initial specification through to deployment, monitoring, and iteration, using project management tools to track and communicate progress.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and other engineering leaders to deliver scalable, user-focused software solutions.
• Champion knowledge sharing and continuous learning, facilitating technical onboarding, peer learning sessions, and growth opportunities for team members.
• Drive and arbitrate key technical decisions using a principled and inclusive approach, balancing trade-offs while maintaining focus on long-term architecture and business goals.
• Promote and exemplify a culture of technical excellence, identifying and introducing new tools, frameworks, and design patterns that drive continuous platform improvement.
• Model adherence to internal processes for work item tracking, testing, and deployment, encouraging consistent and reliable delivery practices across the team.
• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers, fostering their growth in software design, development, and problem-solving, while promoting leadership from within the team.
• Ensure adherence to security best practices, maintaining a secure development lifecycle and actively mitigating risks in your area of influence.
• Contribute to team and organizational planning, and be adaptable to take on new responsibilities as business priorities evolve.
