Why this role is remarkable

• Rare opportunity to join as the third founding engineer, working alongside a world‑class team from Oxford, Otta, and ESA‑funded satellite projects.
• Exceptional financial backing from Susa Ventures (1-in-10 unicorn hit rate) and Liquid 2 VC, early investors in Anduril and Stoke Space.
• Direct impact on the aerospace industry, building AI/LLM‑powered systems already saving global maintenance providers over 32 hours per month in documentation.

What you will do

• Build and ship full-stack product end-to-end, including data pipelines, API integrations, and React-based frontends.
• Design and deploy production-ready AI/LLM features, such as voice‑to‑record agents, integrated into critical aviation workflows.
• Own major architectural decisions and feature development from day one, ensuring software meets the rigorous demands of aircraft certification.

The ideal candidate

• 2-3 years of professional experience building and shipping production‑grade software across the full stack (Python/FastAPI/TypeScript).
• Strong UX instincts and hands‑on experience integrating AI/LLMs into user-facing systems that feel intuitive and reliable.
• Proven ability to navigate startup chaos and manage complex data integrations or ETL pipelines within a fast-moving engineering environment.
