Senior Node.js developer

We're looking for a Senior Node.js Developer to join the team behind a mature, mission-critical SaaS platform serving the aviation industry. Trusted by 13,000+ active users worldwide, the platform supports document management, regulatory compliance, and core operational processes for aviation businesses.

You'll be working with a modern, cloud-based tech stack built around AWS, with a strong emphasis on scalability and engineering best practices. The roadmap is stable and long-term, giving you the chance to influence technical direction rather than just execute tickets.
