Since our founding, we've built a reputation for excellence through innovative ownership models including fractional ownership, jet club memberships, aircraft partnerships, and custom charter flights. Our mission is to provide private jet experiences that surpass expectations for quality, convenience, and safety. We don't just fly aircraft—we deliver peace of mind through technology-enabled operations that ensure every flight meets the highest standards of safety and reliability. The Opportunity We are seeking an exceptional Senior Full-Stack Mobile Developer to take ownership of our mission-critical Pilot Mobile Application and its supporting backend systems.

From pre-flight risk assessments to post-flight checklists, this application directly impacts aviation safety and operational excellence. You'll be joining a lean, focused team where your contributions have immediate, visible impact. This remote position offers the unique opportunity to work on technology that bridges the gap between cutting-edge mobile development and real-world aviation operations.

Cross-Platform Excellence: You'll ensure our application performs flawlessly on both iOS and Android devices, handling platform-specific quirks while maintaining a consistent user experience. This includes optimizing for various device types, screen sizes, and performance capabilities. Authentication & Security Systems: You'll maintain and enhance our JWT-based authentication system, including complex features like admin impersonation for support scenarios, and integrate with Azure AD for robust security. Form Systems & Data Validation: You'll work with complex aviation forms that must handle extensive validation rules, conditional logic, and regulatory compliance requirements. These aren't simple contact forms—they're comprehensive operational documents that must be accurate and reliable. Integration Development: Build and maintain integrations with aviation-specific systems including Fuelerlinx for fuel management, tankering optimization services, and flight management systems. You'll work with PostgreSQL databases and various third-party APIs to ensure seamless data flow.
