Job Details

Aevum is an American technology company that designs, develops, and provides autonomous air, space, and package transportation technologies. The company focuses on autonomous technologies, rapid logistics, e-commerce, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.

We are an early-stage aerospace logistics company looking for a bright and motivated Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to join our team. You will work closely with our Chief Software Architect (12+ years of Silicon Valley experience) to design and build the core frameworks and architecture that power our operations. This role is for someone with around 4-7 years of experience, though we value the quality of experience over the number of years.

What You'll Do

• Work closely with the Chief Software Architect to build the core frameworks and architecture that will power the company's operations, with a particular focus on the prototyping and proof-of-concept phase of development.
• Develop and maintain web applications, internal tools, and backend systems that are scalable, maintainable, and future-proof.
• Contribute to defining and evolving our software architecture, with an emphasis on flexibility and long-term sustainability while meeting immediate needs.
• Collaborate on setting best practices for code quality, testing, and deployment, ensuring we build on a strong foundation as we scale.
• Tackle a wide range of core company problems, gaining a close-up view of key challenges and helping to shape the direction of the company's technical solutions through clean, efficient, and reliable code.
• Work across the full stack, iterating quickly to turn early-stage concepts into functional, production-ready solutions.

What We're Looking For

• Strong generalist software engineering skills, with a solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles.
• Ability to work across the stack (front-end, back-end, with at least some experience with infrastructure and security).
• A preference for libraries and frameworks with powerful primitives over "magical" solutions (e.g., SolidStart or Remix over Next.js, FastAPI or Flask over Django or Rails).
• Ability to write code quickly and efficiently—whether through proficiency with AI coding assistants or sufficient manual speed—since we have many projects in the prototyping and proof-of-concept stage.
• Willingness to learn and adapt to new technologies as needed.
• Ability to take ownership of projects and work independently while collaborating closely with the team.
• This role will involve little to no low-level or embedded programming, though some experience there could be useful for integrations.

Preferred

• Experience with SolidJS (preferred) or other modern frontend frameworks.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, databases, or DevOps practices.
• Interest in aerospace, logistics, or operations research.
• Basic product and design sensibilities, with an ability to think about user experience and intuitive workflows.
