The Role

You will join TrustFlight as a Software Engineer embedded in a product squad delivering AI-powered capabilities for safety- and compliance-critical aviation workflows, reporting to the Tech Lead. This is a full-stack role with a strong emphasis on AI delivery. You will ship end-to-end AI features across web applications, backend services, and a Python-based ingestion and processing pipeline. You will also serve as a liaison with the central AI team, applying shared patterns and integrating future improvements (orchestration, observability, evaluation) into production.

What you’ll be doing

• Own AI reliability and iteration by delivering production-grade AI features that are measurable, debuggable, and safe for compliance-critical workflows.

• Maintain and improve existing AI-powered workflows that drive customer trust and product adoption.

• Implement and evolve agent-style capabilities using the internal agent framework (tool calling, streaming, multi-agent patterns where appropriate).

• Integrate LLM providers used in production:

  • OpenAI

  • Anthropic

  • Google GenAI

• Build tools that connect models to product context, such as:

  • Web search

  • Embeddings-based document querying (retrieval)

  • Document outline/markdown/content extraction for grounding

  • AI-assisted change proposal workflows

• Harden AI behaviour and safety with guardrails, prompt/version management, and privacy-aware handling of customer data.

• Raise quality with automated testing and contribute to end-to-end coverage for critical workflows.

What you’ll bring

• 3–5 years of professional experience shipping production software, with strong engineering fundamentals (code quality, testing discipline, thoughtful trade-offs).

• Proven experience delivering AI features into production, including working with LLM APIs and building reliable AI workflows (latency, streaming, retries, fallbacks, error handling).

• Experience with AI/agent tooling patterns, such as tool calling, retrieval/embeddings, and evaluation of outputs for quality and regressions.

• Ability to deliver full-stack changes across backend services, web applications, and Python systems.

• Clear communication and ownership, with the ability to operate effectively in a small team.

• A growth mindset, with a willingness to learn, adapt, and continuously improve technical and product skills.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

What makes you stand out

• Experience operating and improving Python production services (FastAPI, workers, queue-based processing).

• Experience with document ingestion, PDF processing, OCR/layout analysis, or image processing.

• Experience with AI observability and evaluation (metrics, tracing, cost monitoring, offline evals, regression testing).

• Experience in regulated industries or safety-critical software.
