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.

Job requirements

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.
