Last but not least - handful of hints !

• We do not believe in years of service as the split to junior/mid/senior is highly subjective. Salary range is wide on purpose.

• We believe in what you have created, experienced and in problems you have solved.

• We encourage learning and embrace its cost.

• We aim for the full stack engineers with main iOS, but it does not mean here that you need to know every technology we got in the stack.

• We got couple of EFBs solution and several backend components.

• We have dropped SAFe yet aim to keep the quality, consistency and scalability of what we do.

• We are software company but we shape the digital aviation.
