Air Trail makes software for regional airlines—our customers fly air ambulance, aerial firefighting, charter flights, pipeline inspection and more. It’s an industry that still largely uses manual processes and paper, but we don’t think it has to be. Our native iPadOS Electronic Logging app is the only digital solution in Canada approved to completely replace paper in the cockpit. Our second product, a web-based Crew Scheduling dashboard, enables dispatchers to build complex pilot schedules that comply with Transport Canada’s duty and rest regulations. We are constantly iterating and building new features for these products, and have no shortage of new product opportunities in our roadmap.

What you’ll do

​We’re looking for a talented and experienced Senior Software Developer to join this mission. This person will be a core member of our small team, and work directly with all aspects of our business to ensure our product is airtight, innovative, and creating the best possible customer experiences. You’ll be involved in everything from the concept and scoping, to design and mockup, backend development, frontend implementation, testing and post-deployment support. We currently have dedicated backend, frontend, and iPadOS folks to work alongside you.

What your week might look like:

​Whiteboard the design of a new integration with the CEO

• Prioritize and plan the dev team’s work with the COO
• Code review PRs from fellow developers
• Deploy a hotfix when a modal in production receives unexpected inputs
• Dive into learning something new (like Kubernetes, or Swift)

​And then your next week may look different—we are a startup after all!

​In addition to the points above, these responsibilities will also fall into your role:

• Work alongside the leadership team to establish clear development goals that advance our company’s greater strategy
• Coach our team through the implementation of software best practices
• Lead the development of sustainable, scalable, long-term technology
• Make difficult decisions about where to focus development effort
• Proactively monitor and audit our systems to prevent unexpected outages and failures
