Software Developer - 21717

Our client is a fast-growing private aviation technology company operating a real-time online marketplace for private jet travel. The platform aggregates discounted one-way private jet flights (known as "empty legs") from a large network of certified charter operators, allowing travelers to search, compare, and book entire aircraft online or through mobile apps, with no membership fees and no lengthy broker process.

Behind the scenes, the platform connects directly with operators' flight management systems and scheduling tools to import and update flight availability automatically. As the marketplace continues to grow in listings, users, and operator partners, the company is expanding its engineering team to build new features, strengthen integrations, and scale the platform.

We are seeking an experienced Software Developer to help build, maintain, and scale the company's web platform, mobile apps, and operator integrations.

This individual will work across the product to ship new features for travelers and operators, improve search and booking experiences, and develop and maintain the integrations that keep flight inventory accurate and up to date in near real time. The developer will also help ensure the platform remains fast, reliable, and secure as traffic and inventory grow.

The ideal candidate is a self-directed, product-minded engineer with 5+ years of experience who writes clean, maintainable code, takes ownership of features from idea to production, and thrives in a fast-moving startup environment.

• Design, build, and ship new features across the company's web platform and customer-facing experiences.
• Improve flight search, filtering, booking, and checkout flows for travelers.
• Build and enhance tools that operators use to manage their aircraft, availability, and listings.
• Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code that follows team standards and best practices.
• Collaborate on product decisions and turn business needs into practical technical solutions.

• Build and maintain integrations with third-party flight management systems, scheduling tools, and calendar feeds.
• Work with APIs, OAuth connections, iCal feeds, RSS feeds, and other data sources to import and sync flight inventory automatically.
• Ensure flight data stays accurate, consistent, and current across the platform.
• Monitor sync jobs and data pipelines, and troubleshoot failures quickly.

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of the company's iOS and Android apps.
• Build responsive, fast-loading web experiences optimized for both desktop and mobile users.
• Support SEO-friendly pages and performance improvements that help travelers find flights.

• Monitor platform performance and resolve bugs, outages, and production issues.
• Optimize application speed, database queries, and infrastructure for scale.
• Implement secure handling of user accounts, payments, and sensitive data.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and deployment processes.

• Work closely with leadership, operations, and other team members to prioritize and deliver work.
• Document code, systems, and integrations so others can easily maintain and extend them.
• Share ideas for improving the product, development workflow, and engineering processes.

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong experience building modern web applications with JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and Next.js or similar frameworks.
• Solid back-end development experience, including building and consuming REST APIs.
• Experience integrating with third-party APIs and external data sources, including authentication methods such as OAuth and API keys.
• Strong knowledge of relational and/or NoSQL databases.
• Experience with Git, code reviews, testing, and CI/CD workflows.
• Experience deploying and maintaining applications in production on cloud platforms.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
• Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and take ownership of features from start to finish.
• Reliable high-speed internet connection and a dedicated remote workspace.
• Availability to work full-time, Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Pacific Time.

• Experience with mobile app development, such as React Native or native iOS/Android.
• Experience building marketplace, booking, travel, or e-commerce platforms.
• Experience in aviation, travel technology, or logistics.
• Experience with data syncing, scheduled jobs, background workers, or data pipelines.
• Experience with payment processing integrations.
• Experience with SEO and web performance optimization.
• Experience working in a startup or high-growth environment.

Candidates should be comfortable working with or quickly learning:

• JavaScript / TypeScript
• React and Next.js
• React Native or native mobile development
• REST APIs, OAuth, webhooks, iCal, and RSS integrations
• Relational and NoSQL databases
• Cloud hosting and deployment platforms
• Git and CI/CD tools

• The opportunity to build technology for a fast-growing marketplace in the private aviation industry.
• Direct ownership of features that thousands of travelers and charter operators rely on.
• Meaningful influence over the product, technical direction, and engineering practices.
• Challenging work across web, mobile, and real-time data integrations.
• A stable full-time remote position within a growing, innovative team.

The ideal candidate is an experienced, product-minded software developer who enjoys building things people use every day and takes pride in shipping high-quality work.

They are comfortable working across the stack, from polished front-end experiences to the integrations and back-end systems that keep flight data accurate. When a sync breaks or a page slows down, they dig in, find the root cause, and fix it properly.

They work well independently, communicate clearly, and think about the business impact of what they build. Most importantly, they are dependable, curious, and excited to help scale a platform that is changing how people book private travel.

Success in this role will be measured by:

• Quality, reliability, and maintainability of code delivered.
• Speed and consistency of feature delivery.
• Accuracy and uptime of flight inventory integrations and data syncs.
• Platform performance, including page speed and system stability.
• Speed and effectiveness in resolving bugs and production issues.
• Quality of documentation and contributions to code reviews.
• Collaboration and communication with the broader team.
