Software Engineer (Civil Aviation)

As a Software Engineer for the Civil Aviation team, 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. This is a platform that needs to be right the first time and maintainable by future engineers who had no hand in building it. The core technical challenge is data fusion at operational scale: ingesting disparate, noisy, and potentially conflicting data streams, from radar, flight plans, weather systems, operator inputs, and more, and resolving them into a single, authoritative view of the world. From there, the system projects that state forward in time, enabling optimization across a complex set of competing conditions and constraints. The person in this role needs to have strong intuitions about how to model uncertainty, how to reason about data provenance and confidence, and how to build systems that degrade gracefully when inputs are incomplete or wrong.
