Build and scale Air’s platform as our next Platform Engineer.
As a Platform Engineer, you’ll play a crucial role in designing, maintaining, and evolving the infrastructure that powers Air’s platform—while also contributing vertically through the stack to enable scalability and performance. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering teams to create secure, resilient, and efficient systems that empower our products to scale. Whether you're optimizing backend services, enhancing developer tooling, or tackling cloud infrastructure challenges, you’ll have direct ownership over key technical decisions.
At Air, we primarily work in TypeScript across our stack—React for our web app, Electron for our desktop app, and Node.js for our backend. Our infrastructure is built on AWS, making cloud expertise essential. Beyond infrastructure, you’re comfortable making meaningful contributions to the broader stack, helping to drive strategic platform initiatives forward.
