Software Engineer (Civil Aviation)
Airspace Intelligence Com · Boston, US
About this role
## About Air Space Intelligence (ASI) ASI’s mission-critical technology powers decision-making across aviation, defense, energy, and other critical infrastructure domains—turning days of analysis into seconds of action. ## Civil Aviation Team We are modernizing America’s air traffic control system on an accelerated timeline, tackling one of the world’s most complex real-time optimization challenges: safely coordinating tens of thousands of daily flights in a dynamic, safety-critical environment. Our team is building next-generation trajectory prediction and decision-support systems, preparing the airspace for emerging technologies like commercial space operations and advanced air mobility. ## What You Will Do As a **Software Engineer (Civil Aviation)**, you will design and build a backend system that will operate at the center of U.S. air travel for the next decade and beyond. Key focus areas: - **Data fusion at operational scale**: ingest disparate, noisy, and potentially conflicting data streams (e.g., radar, flight plans, weather, operator inputs) and resolve them into a single authoritative view. - **Forward state projection**: project system state into the future to enable optimization across competing conditions and constraints. - **Uncertainty & provenance**: model uncertainty, reason about data provenance and confidence, and ensure the system **degrades gracefully** when inputs are incomplete or incorrect. ## What We Value - Experience building **production-grade backend or distributed systems** with strong design principles for maintainability, scalability, and performance. - Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (we work in **Rust** and **Python**; you should be able to learn quickly). - Experience with **data integration, storage, processing, and data modeling** systems. - Experience with **AWS** and cloud-native architectures. - Exposure to **high-availability** systems (e.g., “four nines” reliability) is a plus. - Ability to work in **complex, multi-system environments** with evolving data models. - Strong collaboration skills and comfort working across teams in a mission-critical environment. - Proficiency leveraging modern **LLM tools** to accelerate development and improve code quality. - Domain experience in **aviation, mapping, geospatial systems**, or related fields is a plus. ## How We Hire We view the interview process as a chance to simulate what it’s like to work together—not as a screening or test. ## Important Note (Export-Controlled / Restricted Data) ASI works with **export-controlled technology** and **restricted U.S. Government data**, including contracts that may require **U.S. immigration status and location restrictions** for performing job duties. Employment offers are contingent on the ability to timely obtain all required authorizations for the contemplated role.
