About the role
- Last year we announced our next-generation aircraft, the Helix, which is rapidly progressing toward general release and scalable production in 2026.
Responsibilities
- Internal applications: Build and maintain the internal web applications engineers use to work with flight data - flight record browsers, query interfaces, and analysis tools over the warehouse.
- Backend services: Develop Python services and HTTP APIs that query Athena and S3 and return results at interactive speed, including pagination and caching over large result sets.
- Front end: Build interfaces that make large telemetry datasets explorable - sortable tables, filters, and time-series plots - for engineers who are never going to write SQL.
- AI-assisted diagnosis: Build agent-based tooling over the data platform so engineers can ask questions in plain language and follow a symptom through to a root cause without hand-writing queries.
- Design these tools to return the underlying data and how it was derived, not just an answer, so an engineer can verify the result before acting on it.
- Collaboration: Sit with the engineering teams to scope what they actually need, and document what you ship so the next person can support it.
