Why this role is remarkable

• Join an elite team that has launched airlines and put satellites into orbit, supported by an advisory board of former OEM heads and Gulfstream leaders.

• High-impact founding role where your code defines critical infrastructure for global aerospace MROs across three continents, solving a massive technician shortage.

• Architect and ship production AI systems end-to-end, including LLM integrations, voice agents, and robust evaluation frameworks.
• Collaborate directly with founders to translate complex aerospace maintenance requirements into clean, usable AI products and data pipelines.
• Take full ownership of the technical stack across Python, FastAPI, and Azure, making pivotal decisions that shape the company’s core platform.

• 2+ years of experience building and shipping production AI systems using Python, PyTorch, and LLMs (OpenAI/Anthropic) integrated into real-world user workflows.
• Strong proficiency in backend engineering and MLOps, with the ability to own systems from data infrastructure to user-facing interfaces.
• Entrepreneurial mindset comfortable with the 0→1 journey, thriving in ambiguous environments where speed, autonomy, and clean code are equally valued.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
