- We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to join the platform team as we build the cloud platform for M3, our next-generation aircraft
- You’ll build and own well-scoped services and pipelines within the M3 platform, working closely with senior engineers on design and growing toward owning larger components over time
- This is a hands-on role in a safety-critical environment and a chance to help build a platform from the early stages
- You’ll work across our Node.js/TypeScript services and APIs, the data pipelines that move flight and telemetry data, and the tooling the aircraft program depends on
- Build and maintain backend services and APIs that integrate the M3 aircraft into delivery operations
- Build and extend the data pipelines that ingest and process M3 flight, vehicle, and telemetry data
- Write well-tested, observable, maintainable code, and participate actively in code review
- Help operate what you build by deploying, monitoring, and debugging services in production
- Provide technical support, triaging production and field issues and escalating when needed
- Collaborate with onboard software, operations, product, and safety teams
- Working experience with cloud infrastructure, containers, and CI/CD
- Solid fundamentals in API design, relational databases, and data modeling
- Backend proficiency in Node.js/TypeScript, or in a comparable modern language with the ability to ramp up quickly
- Strong debugging instincts and a sense of ownership for code running in production
- 3+ years building and operating production backend systems
- Clear communication and an eagerness to seek out and apply feedback
- Experience with fleet management, IoT/telemetry, or robotics systems
- Experience building with NestJS
- Familiarity with event streaming or real-time messaging
- Exposure to hardware-software integration or new device bring-up
- Experience using AI coding assistants to accelerate development
- UAV, aerospace, logistics, or other operationally critical domain experience
