• You will actively contribute to the development of web-based software products and MVPs, participating in the full software lifecycle from concept and prototyping to deployment and evolution;
• You will collaborate in technical discussions during commercial and execution phases with internal stakeholders and external partners (e.g. clients, suppliers, research institutions), contributing software expertise to multidisciplinary teams;
• You will implement and maintain scalable web applications using modern web stacks (TypeScript, Angular, React, Next.js), integrating frontend, backend, and data layers as required by each project;
• You will design, implement, and integrate APIs (REST and GraphQL), ensuring reliability, performance, traceability, and long-term maintainability of distributed systems;
• You will contribute to DevOps and cloud activities, including infrastructure provisioning, deployment, automation, and monitoring using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud service providers;
• You will work closely with systems engineers and domain experts to translate aerospace, engineering, and regulatory requirements into robust and usable software solutions;
• You will proactively contribute to the improvement of internal development practices, tooling, and technical standards, promoting code quality, test automation, documentation, and sustainable software architectures;
• You will take ownership of assigned features or components, working autonomously while actively seeking feedback and alignment with the broader engineering team.

Required qualifications and experience:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline;
• Minimum 3–5 years of professional experience in software development, with hands-on involvement in production systems and end-to-end software lifecycle activities;
• Strong experience with modern web technologies, including TypeScript and at least one major frontend framework (Angular and/or React, Next.js);
• Solid understanding of backend development concepts, including API design (REST and/or GraphQL), authentication, authorization, and data validation;
• Experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases, including data modeling, performance considerations, and data integrity;
• Practical exposure to DevOps practices and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform and Ansible, as well as cloud-based deployments;
• Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary engineering environments and to communicate technical concepts clearly;
• Professional-level English proficiency, both written and spoken, suitable for collaboration with international clients and partners.

Nice to have:

• Previous experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, industrial, or other safety-critical or highly regulated domains;
• Familiarity with systems engineering concepts, model-based engineering, or interaction with engineering analysis tools;
• Experience with automated testing strategies (unit, integration, end-to-end) and test-driven or quality-focused development practices;
• Exposure to cloud-native architectures, containerization, or advanced CI/CD pipelines;
• Experience contributing to early-stage products or MVPs, including rapid prototyping and iterative development;
• Strong interest in engineering tools, developer productivity, and improving how complex systems are designed and validated.
