The Role

We're seeking an experienced Fullstack Engineer to join our team.

You’ll be joining an excellent and enthusiastic team of modern javascript engineers. You will work closely with our CTO and senior engineering team to execute on our technical roadmap. You’ll be expected to hit the ground running, working hands-on with our backend, frontend, and desktop codebases.

We work almost entirely in Typescript. Our web app is built in React, desktop app in Electron, and backend in Node. We’re built on AWS, so familiarity with their product suite is a major plus. 25% of Air’s users interact with our product every day, and you’ll be shipping features and improvements to them near-daily. You will build features, review code, write tests, maintain infrastructure, and help define a long-term architectural vision to keep us focused during rapid growth.

This role is for you if you thrive in fast-paced, unstructured environments that require you to wear many hats, think on your feet and you're excited about mentoring and growing junior members of the team.

To help us filter genuine candidates, include the code AIR-ENG-2025 in the designated field of the application form.
