Company mission
To enable mission-critical operations and optimize the world's most valuable assets.
Role
Who you are
- Strong experience building and operating production-grade cloud infrastructure
- Experience with AWS (preferred) or other cloud providers (GCP, Azure)
- Proficiency with Kubernetes and containerized environments
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Helm)
- Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for reliable, frequent production releases
- Strong understanding of distributed systems and scalability
- Experience with observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus)
- Familiarity with production safety practices, including testing, rollout strategies, and rollback mechanisms
- Experience operating and supporting 24/7 production systems
- Ability to contribute to design reviews and architectural decisions
- Strong collaboration skills and ability to work across teams in a mission-critical environment
- Exposure to regulated cloud environments (e.g., FedRAMP) and familiarity with progressive deployment techniques (e.g., canary releases) is a plus
- 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
What the job involves
- As a Cloud Platform Engineer on the Civil Aviation team, you will build and operate the cloud infrastructure powering mission-critical aviation systems used in real-world operations
- This is a deeply hands-on role where you’ll work directly in production environments, ensuring systems are scalable, resilient, and continuously deployable
- You’ll develop and improve the core infrastructure that engineers rely on every day—shipping infrastructure-as-code, working with Kubernetes-based systems, and contributing to deployment pipelines that enable fast, safe releases
- Your work will directly impact system reliability, performance, and uptime in a 24/7 environment
- You will partner closely with backend, product, and platform engineers to deploy services, improve observability, and respond to real production challenges—debugging issues, strengthening system resilience, and continuously raising the bar for reliability
- Expect to work on problems like scaling distributed systems, improving release safety, and building automation that reduces operational toil and keeps systems running smoothly
Application process
- 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
Our take
Bringing AI to the aerospace and defense sectors, Air Space Intelligence supplies an operating system to support human intelligence and help operators in the air domain make better and faster decisions.
The company's Flyways platform leverages AI to generate predictions even in rapidly changing environments, providing contextually relevant actions to human operators. Specifically designed for high-stakes decision making, Flyways' value lies in its ability to fuse and enrich large sets of spatial and temporal data, from which it generates a new "4D lookahead" of the most likely scenario every few seconds.
In 2023, the company secured $34M to fuel growth and expand its government presence. Building on this momentum, Air Space Intelligence has since partnered with Joby Aviation to support the integration of electric air taxis into the US National Airspace System, positioning Flyways at the forefront of advanced air mobility.
