Aviation Software Engineer (Python)

Do you want to build software in Python and work on systems that directly support airlines and flight operations? Would you like to combine hands‑on engineering with close collaboration with business stakeholders in the aviation domain? We are partnering with aviation customers to grow their engineering and implementation teams and are hiring several profiles: entry‑level, mid‑level and senior engineers.

You will contribute to a mission‑critical aviation platform relied on by airlines, pilots and fleet operators around the world. The products operate in a demanding environment, where reliability, accuracy and always‑on availability are essential. You’ll work with experienced engineers and domain experts, shaping core capabilities end‑to‑end – from early discovery and design through delivery to continuous improvement.

• Troubleshoot and debug production issues, improve reliability and performance, and suggest technical improvements.

Ideal candidate profile

• 3+ years (Mid) or 8+ years (Senior) of experience in software development or a similar engineering role. We can also accept entry level applications if other qualifications are a good match. In simple words - we are building a diverse team!

• Fluent in English and used to working with international clients and distributed teams.
• Open to occasional business travel within Europe.
• Able to move between technical detail and business context with ease.

Som företag fokuserar vi på tydlig kommunikation, minimal onödig byråkrati och att få saker gjorda snabbt – både för våra kunder och för våra konsulter. I våra projekt lägger vi tonvikten på kvaliteten i samarbetet, på att matcha människor med rätt team och på att bygga långsiktiga relationer, snarare än att bara “stänga” en rekryteringsprocess.
