You will harness TWC's industry-leading weather and flight data to develop compelling, high-performance visualizations and the APIs and services that power them. Working across a diverse technology stack, from modern tools like React, Go, MongoDB, and AWS to established platforms in .NET/C# and SQL Server, you will have the opportunity to make a genuine impact on the safety and efficiency of commercial aviation worldwide.

This is a hybrid role (3 days per week in office). Engineers on this team participate in a 24x7 on-call rotation following a structured training and onboarding period.

The impact you'll make:

• Build and maintain full stack features across frontend and backend systems, delivering data-rich aviation applications used by dispatchers and pilots globally
• Develop high-performance, intuitive visualizations that transform complex weather and flight data into clear, actionable information for aviation professionals
• Design and extend RESTful APIs using Go and Node.js to serve real-time weather and flight data at scale
• Build responsive, performant frontend interfaces in React that meet the demanding needs of aviation operations environments
• Work with MongoDB and SQL Server to store, query, and manage large volumes of weather and flight data efficiently
• Contribute to established products built on .NET/C# and SQL Server, ensuring continuity and quality across the full product portfolio
• Deploy, monitor, and manage services on AWS, following cloud infrastructure and security best practices
• Actively use AI coding tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude) to accelerate development velocity, improve code quality, and solve complex problems more effectively
• Write clean, well-tested, and well-documented code with a focus on performance, reliability, and maintainability
• Participate in code reviews, contributing constructive feedback and raising the bar for engineering quality across the team
• Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, and fellow engineers in an agile delivery environment
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues across multiple systems, minimizing impact to aviation operations
• Participate in the team's 24x7 on-call rotation (after a structured ramp-up period), supporting system reliability and incident response

What you've accomplished:

• 1–5 years of professional software development experience, with meaningful contributions to full stack applications
• Demonstrated, practical experience using AI tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, or similar) as part of your regular development workflow — in code generation, debugging, testing, or documentation
• Proficiency in React or a comparable modern frontend framework, with the ability to build and maintain complex, data-driven UIs
• Backend development experience in one or more of: Go, Node.js, or .NET/C#
• Working knowledge of both relational databases (SQL Server or equivalent) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB or equivalent)
• Solid understanding of REST API design and HTTP fundamentals
• Experience with Git-based version control workflows in a collaborative team environment
• A track record of writing readable, testable, maintainable code and taking ownership of quality
• Ability to work effectively across multiple codebases and adapt to varying technology stacks
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an ability to diagnose and resolve issues in complex distributed systems

Nice to have:

• Experience building AI-powered product features or integrating LLM APIs into applications
• Hands-on AWS experience (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, CloudWatch, or similar services)
• Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices
• Experience with legacy system modernization
• Background or interest in the commercial aviation or weather technology domain
