Our Vision

Starting with airlines, we provide the Cirrus Revenue Operating System™ that reshapes how travel and transportation businesses plan their commercial operation. We displace legacy data, forecasting, pricing, and reporting solutions with a single enterprise SaaS platform that leverages the latest advancements in deep learning, cloud computing, and user experience.
Our hyper-accurate contextual forecasts enable the most effective scheduling, marketing, and leadership decisions while directly managing the pricing for billions of dollars worth of product and revenue.
We are looking for an engineering or data science leader to build new capabilities in the Cirrus Revenue Operating System to include Air Cargo revenue and capacity planning software and capabilities. As the leader of a brand new product offering, you will hire and build a team and lead the development of an AI-driven cargo revenue management application. You’ll work closely with product owners and our other engineering and data science teams to extend FLYR’s platform to address the complex demand forecasting problems of the air cargo industry.
As a technical leader you will build and lead a new team of software and data talent. You will develop a product roadmap in close collaboration with the technical product owner. Additionally, this person will play a key role in the partnership between FLYR and Air New Zealand as the two companies continue to jointly develop and test innovative capabilities for the aviation industry.
We are looking for people who are passionate about innovative technology, enjoy the challenges of a new domain, and want to learn and have a sense of ownership. You are looking for a leadership opportunity and one that is building new products from the ground up working closely with customers. You are detail-oriented and take initiative and see success as a team accomplishment. You enjoy mentoring and bringing out the best in others.
